Alleged Diva has arrived. Thanks to Andre’ Delahoussaye for taking care of her and getting her to us. Thanks to Marlene Murray and the RACE Fund for fundraising to post her bail and everyone who contributed.

She’s eating and drinking well and had a good roll in her shavings. She’s also been poking her head in front of the fan. We will take it one day at a time. Right now, she’s just going to rest.

Alleged Diva was picked up this morning and is laying over at a farm tonight. She’s safe and will be delivered to us in the morning.

Meet Da Gold Room! This adorable boy is a new arrival. Last racing on 5/22/23, this 2017 gelding started 43 times and has just started slowing down this year. He comes from great connections who truly care where he lands. Since arriving, he hasn't put a foot wrong. This boy is super easy to handle on the ground and wants to please. No vices. His legs are tight and clean and he retired sound. Stay tuned for updates! Did we say that he's adorable?

He’s approx. 15.1 hh.

Great news for Thoroughbreds competing internationally: starting with the Paris Olympic Games, the breed will be recognized in starting lists and results. In past Olympics, Thoroughbreds were listed only as "breeding unknown."

The agreement follows discussions between the European and Mediterranean Horseracing Federation (EMHF), the World Breeding Federation for Sports Horses (WBFSH), the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) and the International Stud Book Committee (ISBC) and will extend also to all FEI competitions.

Says Dr. Paull Khan, Secretary-General of the EMHF and a member of the Steering Group of the International Forum for the Aftercare of Racehorses: "Much effort is made around the world to encourage the owners of retired racehorses to explore second careers for them. This recognition will both further the message that Thoroughbreds do go on to compete with distinction in other equestrian disciples and prompt more Thoroughbred owners to consider this retirement option for their racehorses."
