    • Trying to understand your post. Did you mean to say 'disenchanted'.
    • BUILT (c, 4, Hard Spun–Sea Garden, by Curlin) twice hit the board last season on Louisiana's Road to the Kentucky Derby, second and third in the GIII Lecomte Stakes and GII Risen Star Stakes, respectively, before missing the money in two subsequent starts. Sent to the shelf in early May after disappointing in the GII Pat Day Mile, he resurfaced Dec. 18 at this venue to wrap his '25 season with a win against allowance company. Tried on the turf last out Feb. 14 to kick off his 4-year-old campaign, Built ran fourth in the Colonel Power Stakes, and his connections returned him to the dirt here for his second jump on the year. The betting public sent him away as the 8-5 favorite, and he gave them what they wanted, breaking well to press the pace from second through :21.58 and a half-mile in a brisk :43.97. On a narrow lead as they turned for home, Maximum Bourbon (Maximum Security) came calling for a final push nearing mid-stretch and the race was on as they locked horns into the final sixteenth. Turning that one away, Built kicked away to win by 1 1/2 lengths and lower the track record to 1:07.96–it had been the mark to beat for 24 years since Mountain General established it in late November 2002 when he posted 1:08.03 for the distance. Built is the first to the races for his dam, herself a half-sister to Canadian Graded winner Glenville Gardens (Street Cry {Ire}), but does have an unplaced 3-year-old half-brother named Sterling Sea (Union Rags). Sea Garden has a yearling Flameaway colt to her credit, and her 2026 Practical Joke foal was stillborn. In addition to the aforementioned half-brother, the dam is also a half-sibling to the mother of GSP Sonic Brees (Maclean's Music). This is the immediate female family of MGSW & MGISP Indian Vale (A.P. Indy).     3rd-Fair Grounds, $60,000, Alw (C)/Opt. Clm ($80,000), 3-13, 4yo/up, 6f, 1:07.96, ft, 1 1/2 lengths. BUILT (c, 4, Hard Spun–Sea Garden, by Curlin) Sales history: $82,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $260,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 10-4-1-2, $321,304.

    • Golden Tornado (McKinzie), sidelined since delivering a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' performance on debut at Saratoga last summer, is on the comeback trail. He's posted a pair of breezes for trainer Danny Gargan at Palm Meadows this winter, including a three-furlong move in :37.50 (24/43) Mar. 7. “He's a really nice horse, really nice,” Gargan said. “He's come back really good. He's beautiful.” Campaigned in partnership by Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, breeder Gainesway Stable and Legendary Thoroughbreds, the $475,000 Keeneland September yearling and half-brother to stakes winner and fellow 'Rising Star' Verifire (Authentic) was gearing up for last fall's GI Champagne S. until Gargan had to hit the brakes. “He got a hairline crack in his shin,” Gargan said. “We brought him back and breezed him one time (after his debut) and he had a hairline in his shin. We gave him time off. We didn't put a screw in it, we just had to drill it. We decided to give him plenty of time.” Golden Tornado pressed and pounced on subsequent multiple stakes winner and 'Rising Star' Oscar's Hope (Twirling Candy) to win by 3 1/4 lengths at first asking going six furlongs at the Spa Aug. 9, good for an 86 Beyer Speed Figure. Saturday's Jimmy Winkfield S. 6-5 morning-line favorite Igniter (Volatile) was another 1 1/2 lengths back in third that day. Future Pulpit S. dead-heat winner and Awad S. runner-up Glorious Boy (Independence Hall) was also a well-beaten sixth in the talented field of eight. “I never really thought he was gonna be able to get a mile and a quarter,” Gargan said. “That's not really what we were thinking, so there was no need to rush him back to be a Derby horse. He's gonna be a miler probably.” Golden Tornado could potentially target the GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial going seven furlongs on Travers Day at Saratoga Aug. 29, per Gargan. “In my vision–he worked here on the seventh–he'll come back here (and work a half-mile) in a few days depending on weather,” Gargan said. “We're looking more towards getting a race into him maybe around Preakness time. Everything goes well, he could run around that time. There's a stake over there to start him back. If not, we'll find a 1x (allowance) and then we'll start the march towards those races this summer.” Gargan concluded, “I'm extremely high on the summer he's gonna have. We've done everything right taking our time and I think it's gonna pay off for us.” The post ‘I’m Extremely High on the Summer He’s Gonna Have’ – Highly Regarded Golden Tornado Gearing Up for Return appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • If you are disenfranchised with the industry you are in, get out of it, unless of course you are earning a living out of it, which all becomes a bit ironical anyway lol Either that or do something to change it. Don't keep on spewing your guts all over social media.  That reflects on you as a person, not on the situation you are commenting on
