Among their stablemates were Grade I winner Aruna, Grade 1 winner Summer Soiree, Grade 1 win...Read More
Pefect Shirl, a 27-1 outsider, rallied to a surprising victory in Friday's Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Churchill Downs. Dubawi Heights was headstrong early and set the pace under Joel Rosario. She settled into a nice stride after a half in :51.07 and six panels in 1:16.90. Dynaslew drew eve...Read More
Friday is an easy day for me at Churchill Downs. I ride a few horses on the undercard before the Breeders' Cup begins, and then I have two Breeders' Cup mounts that afternoon. Earlier in the week, Graham Motion and Aruna's owners decided to run her in ...Read More

not going to the Ladies Classic. Will go to the Filly and Mare Turf.
Flaxman Holdings Ltd.’s Aruna, with jockey Sheldon Russell up, worked five furlongs over a fast main track in 1:03.20 after the renovation break, a move that left trainer Graham Motion with a difficult decision regarding the 4-year-old filly. Aruna, who never has run on dirt, is pre-entered in the G...Read More
  • arazi · This is disappointing. Motion has looked like a genius with Aruna as of late, but something tells me his luck is going to run out. Running a turf horse on dirt is risky stuff. He may just want to run in the FM Turf. · 207 days ago ·

  • 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. · 220 days ago ·
