Near tragic accident in morning workout at racetrack [01:23]
Exercising racehorses is one of the most exciting things I have ever done but it is also one of the most dangerous. I was filming one of our horses, Santa Strega (yellow blinkers with jockey Amanda Tamburello up), working out of the gates a half mile with another horse. Everything was going fine until the rider lost a stirrup coming through the turn. I would not have posted this if the rider did not agree to it, I'm so glad I wasn't filming something that could have ended really horrific...

Ready To Defer WON 2nd AQU 1.7.12.avi [07:00]
Ready To Defer didn't just WIN the 2nd race at the Big A on Saturday, January 7th, he won it with authority. Ramon went to the front and controlled the pace after getting the horse to pay attention. He was looking around a bit right out of the gate (which was my first "Oh boy no blinkers, he's not focusing") but then I looked at our Jock. The thing about Ramon Dominguez is his hands. You watch his hands, if his hands are not moving he knows he has plenty of horse beneath him and his hands never moved. The rest is history. He won by 7 and never looked back. He came out of the race in good order and should be ready to run again in about 4 weeks. CONGRATULATIONS to everybody!
