  • Floridaf · AnnaK, I don't think the Fairgrounds are any closer than Gulfstream, but the idea has merit. That very well may just have to be the next stop for me. · 72 days ago ·

Little Mike, who will be seeking his sixth victory in seven starts over the past 14 months at Gulfstream Park in Saturday’s $150,000 Canadian Turf (G3), is also the pride and joy of Carlo and Priscilla Vaccarezza.Read More
Love this guy. One of my favorites. Gives it his all every time. Hope he has a terrific year and makes it to the BC, I'd love to be able to see him in person.

  • annalefsrud@yahoo.ca · The Much Man is a wonderful horse, there IS something about him, and wonderful to see Awesome feather go so well, and I agree with JasonM about Delightful Mary, had she not had to change out like that. Was Awesome's race, but would have been interesting to see her stride uninterrupted. These horses with such heart. And I am jealous of anyone who saw it LIVE!! · 118 days ago ·

Stronach Stable’s undefeated 4-year-old filly Awesome Feather, Pinnacle Racing and Bill Kaplan’s 2011 Eclipse champion filly or mare sprinter Musical Romance and Reeves Thoroughbred’s 4-year-old Mucho Macho Man, third in the Kentucky Derby (G1) last spring, are among the stars expected to run in one...Read More

  • terri.zeitz · How exciting does it get? Stars and possible superstars will racing on that date. Looks like Mucho Macho Man has filled out his big frame iand is quite the Man (Sunshine Millions Classic). I'm so glad Awesome Feather(filly and mare race) is healthy and running. Little Mike (turf) and Apriority (sprint) are the other favorites. And Musical Romance (filly and mare sprint) is another favorite. Gulfstream is the place this winter with so many returning champions training and running and some wonderful derby prospects training there. · 127 days ago ·
