    • Looks like Omakau might give the Mot a shake for turnover, 12 races v 13 might be the difference, that big on course crowd of holiday makers are boosted the tote figures, that's why I say this meeting should have stakes boosted and let Alexndra  Park move the Cup or just accept southerners won't go. Wagering for a 2000m race best of the holiday circuit, you really need those 8 runners.
    • @Thomass your screenshots are selectively timed to create a false narrative.  That isn't free speech.  
    • Take my restrictions off for 2 screenshots and I'll show Grylls and Collett flattening their mounts ears on winners in the last few days You say 'whip between the ears" is no problem...what about direct flattened ear contact?  Painful for the horse or acceptable for owner's 'wants and needs'? 
    • Oh dear Curious you're certainly tempting fate But good on you for upholding FREE SPEECH and the criticism of the Feds/Chief in refusing to protect our beloved horses from abuse You would've noticed that horse's ears flicking back and forth like a wasp had stung it See if you can get Hercock in the first at T flattening her mount's ear as well...seems to be a whole swarm of wasps up the straight 
    • Dr. Bryan Boone passed away Wednesday after an 8 1/2-year battle with Alzheimer's disease. He was 63. During an accomplished career, he practiced at Hagyard-Davidson-McGee Equine Medicine and Surgery, where he specialized in reproductive equine medicine. “Dr. Boone had a wonderful career at Hagyard and had to retire early due to a neurological disorder,” said Hagyard Medical Director Luke Fallon in an email to the TDN. “His family has a great story as he was an original descendant of Daniel Boone and multi-generational horse people. He worked for Stone Farm and several other great farms in the area. His family has chosen the E T Hagyard 1876 Legacy Scholarships as his charity.” Said Arthur Hancock III, the owner of Stone Farm: “He cared so much for our farm and for us personally. You don't find that with a lot of people. You just don't find too many people who cared as much as he did. He was a wonderful person as well as a wonderful veterinarian. He helped us out at Stone Farm through Hagyard for a number of years. He was always honest and hard-working. He was just a really tip-top person and very loyal. Bryan was a special guy and everybody liked him.” Boone was born in 1963 in Lexington and attended Henry Clay High School, where he was an accomplished wrestler. He went on to wrestle at the University of Kentucky until the program was ended there. He transferred to Oklahoma State, where he continued his wrestling career. While at Oklahoma State, he spent time at the Tumbleweed Dancehall & Concert Venue with the future musical superstar Garth Brooks. He also worked as a bouncer and played pickup basketball with future NFL great Barry Sanders. He met his future wife Connie while at OSU and the couple raised three children, Cameron, Caroline, and Charlie. Throughout his career, Boone was known for his willingness to mentor young veterinarians. “Dr. Boone was my first and most important mentor,” said Dr. Ernie Martinez. “I started riding with him in the summer of 2000. I spent two months as his assistant, riding in the truck with him daily. We went on farm calls together. I didn't have a place to stay and he was so gracious that he and his wife let me stay at his house. We worked all day, seven days a week most weeks for two or three months at the end of the breeding season. I was just an undergrad student at the time and hadn't been to vet school yet. I really got to know him and his family. He was just a really good doctor, a really good family man and had a really good work ethic. He was probably the most influential person in my young veterinary career. Ultimately, he was the one at the clinic who called me and said, 'Hey, Dr. Martinez, we have a job for you. You better pass your national boards so you can get up here and get to work.' You can't say enough good things about Bryan.” Visitation will be Monday, Jan. 5 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and a Funeral Service will be Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 11 a.m. at First United Methodist Church in Lexington. Interment will be at the Lexington Cemetery.
