What the Nation is saying about Animal Spirits...

He's deceased? Why did this not make the news? Check the last paragraph here; I was looking for news on Currency Swap: http://files.ntra.com/stats_bios.aspx?id=28643

  • Mary Z. · Kay, if ironic is the wrong word(tv) then it's still something that the 2yo that was so badly injured in last year's Bourbon, Here Comes Frazier, recovered from surgery and at last news was living at a horse rescue in Tucson, and the winner of the Bourbon is now deceased. Right after that race, this was not the expected outcome. · 193 days ago ·

  • kay.robinett · It is always a shock and tragedy when a young being (human or animal) suddenly and unexpectedly passes away. In the case of Animal Spirits, it is a huge potential loss in that he might have had a chance at stud to pass on the precious gene of his second dam Personal Ensign. But at least he was spared the terror and unimaginable pain of a breakdown. And I agree that some of the participants in that running of the Bourbon have been very unlucky (to say the least). · 193 days ago ·

Fresh off big collects on Musical Romance and Perfect Shirl, I’m back on the hunt for even more Breeders’ Cup longshots today, and considering all the full fields of quality horses running in nine BC races, it’s a safe bet that we’ll have plenty more huge payoffs to chase.

As racing resumed at picturesque Keeneland Race Course, more Breeders’ Cup prep races were added to those being contested at Belmont and Santa Anita Park. Here are some thoughts and conclusions that I took away from last weekend’s coast-to-coast action. Read More

  • ahnuckolsjr · It's kind of funny, but I raised 2 of the two year-old fillies under consideration for this year's Juvenile Fillies race, Miss Netta and Heart of Destiny. They were both very interesting fillies to watch grow up and work with every day. Miss Netta was very opinionated and would let you know that she, not you, was going to determine what she did and did not do. I had the privilege of selling her at Saratoga to Everett Dobson and his Cheyenne Racing Stable. Randy Bradshaw told me that she still has her ways and that you have to convince her that what you want her to do was her idea first. She is really a neat filly, one of the nicest I've ever been around. Heart of Destiny, who I still own with my old college classmate, Jamie Greene, was a different type of filly. She was always a little taller than her contemporaries and just kind of looked through you as if to say "I see things way beyond you!" She was a real competitor in the 30 acre pasture she and Miss Netta played in. I used to love to look out my office window and watch them run and play in their field. Heart of Destiny would always go to the lead and when they would toyn and head back in a different direction, she would always go back to the front. Another filly that grew up with these two was second to Samolia Lemonade in her 1st start. Her name is Conquesta, an Empire Maker filly. Given the company that she was competing with she may be fun to watch as she competes for Mr. Marc Keller. · 585 days ago ·

Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence’s Animal Spirits spent just enough time at Keeneland on Sunday to grab the $90,000 first-place check from the Bourbon (G3) and then returned to trainer Al Stall Jr.’s barn at Churchill Downs.   “He came back here last night,” Stall said of the son of Arch,...Read More
Animal Spirits ran just about last until the accident, then shot out wide and passed everyone. Hope HCF and his jockey is ok. This horse has some upswing to him.
Animal Spirits, trained by Al Stall Jr. and ridden by Robby Albarado, rallied from far off the pace to take the Bourbon, covering the 1 1/16 miles on a firm turf course in 1:44.24.   The race was marred when longtime leader and second choice Here Comes Frazier attempted to jump the inside rail ...Read More
