Where is Whitmore?

One thing is for certain, and that is that Whitmore's health is paramount to any pre-determined schedule; Ron Moquett lets Whitmore dictate the plan, ultimately. He wants a healthy racehorse for years to come, and then he wants a healthy track pony following his retirement as a racehorse. So, while he may not be in Saturday's Forego Stakes (G1) starting gate, it's not out of the question to think he could possibly return to it in 2020, and even possibly beyond that. Moquett is playing the long game, and the sport is better for it.

Majid: Glorious, Maginificent, Lucky

As with many Zayat-owned horses, Majid’s name has roots in Arabic etymology. In English, “majid” translates to “glorious” and “magnificent”. But for breeder Forever Spring Farm, he is considered “lucky”. Born on St. Patrick’s Day, Majid was first known as “Paddy” at the 300+ acre Danville, Kentucky farm.

Rigoletta Shines Gold for Hollendorfer, Thor-Bred Stables

“Rigoletta [dam of Battle of Midway and Moretti] had great work ethic. She is a very cool mare. When you are around the good ones, I think they all kind of bring a sense of awe. Some by being tough, others by being kind, but always an intangible - but palpable - sense of class about them.” — PAVLA NYGAARD
