      Great run by Savaglee, and great to see someone post it, as it's nothing but crickets at the other site.

      Fantastic for the Sire & most needed as they didn't sell that well at the recent sales.

      Pat Day on Boundless Podcast

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      With 8,803 wins, Pat Day is the sixth all-time winningest jockey in history, with nine Triple Crown victories, and a reputation as one of the greatest ever. But as he tells Dr. Ferrin Peterson on the new episode of The Boundless Podcast, those successes on the track are not his proudest accomplishment. Day was a leading rider in the Midwest, but had developed a drinking and drug addiction. “I celebrated every night,” he tells Peterson. “I celebrated if the sun went up or the sun set. I'd celebrate for celebration's sake.” He tells the story of a two-week drinking and drug binge that started at a New Year's Eve party after earning the leading rider title of North America. “But when I came out of that drug and alcohol stupor,” he said, “that fleeting feeling of succeeding was gone. It left me really struggling. I've got a beautiful wife, a successful career, and I'm the leading rider in North America. But something is wrong in here. I'm not a happy man.” He tells Peterson the story of the night in a hotel room that changed his life.

      I heard it leads to severe bouts of delusion , especially in old accountants.

      ‘TDN Rising Star’ Mountain Breeze Takes Jumeirah Guineas For Godolphin

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      Saturday's Listed Jumeirah 1000 Guineas saw the same one-two-three finishers as the Jan. 31 Mawj Stakes at Meydan, which kicked off Dubai's Super Saturday programme. Godolphin's MOUNTAIN BREEZE (IRE) (f, 3, Lope De Vega {Ire}–Lava Flow {Ire}, by Dalakhani {Ire}) settled in the box seat, before overwhelming game pacesetter Octans (Spa) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}) inside the final quarter mile to win going away under William Buick. Lhakpa (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) closed to take third. The final time for the 1600 metres over good turf was 1:38.06. The Godolphin homebred and 'TDN Rising Star' was winning for the fourth time in eight starts, and was runner-up at Newmarket in both the G2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes and the G3 Sweet Solera Stakes earlier in her career. Lifetime Record: 8-4-2-0. O/B-Godolphin (Ire). T-Charlie Appleby.   The post ‘TDN Rising Star’ Mountain Breeze Takes Jumeirah Guineas For Godolphin appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
