Emma's Encore - 2012 Victory Ride (G3) [01:33]
Hall of Fame trainer H. Allen Jerkens bolstered his reputation as the "Giant Killer" at Belmont Park Saturday afternoon, sending out 39-1 Emma's Encore to upset previously undefeated Agave Kiss in the Grade 3, $150000 Victory Ride. After breaking alertly, Emma's Encore settled into fifth as favored Agave Kiss dueled with Jamaican Smoke through a blistering opening quarter-mile in 21.46. Jamaican Smoke headed the favorite to run a half-mile in 44 flat as Emma's Encore began to gain momentum. Third at the top of the stretch, Emma's Encore kicked clear through the final sixteenth of a mile to win by 2 ¾ lengths. Her final time for six furlongs was 1:08.89 and she returned $80 as the longest shot in the field of six sophomore fillies.

Laine at The Fork [03:30]
Laine can now add media star to her repertoire after doing a great job handling the PRO interviews on dressage day 1 at The Fork, but lets not forget she also has a lovely horse headed for America's biggest event, the Rolex CCI****, an OTTB no less, AND she's a tough mudder - how many more reasons do you need to be on Team Laine?!

Santa Anita Park - Jan 2012 [01:53]
We headed over to Santa Anita Park for the day because they were having a food truck festival. We had no idea there was horse racing as well. What a beautiful day to watch the ponies play.

Horse Racing - Glens Boy [01:27]
Horse Racing 31-12-10 Warwick 3m Handicap Chase Glens Boy was always prominent, effort after 3 out, led next, ridden last, kept on flat, in command when hampered by loose horse near finish and headed post, very unlucky! £ 35650.00 was matched at 1.01.

Horse Racing - Kay Gee Be [00:32]
Horse Racing 26-10-2011 Nottingham 8f handicap Kay Gee Be held up towards rear, steady headway on outside over 2f out, led over 1f out, strongly pressed and ran on inside final furlong, headed post. The problem is it looked like Kay Gee Be won it, but the camera angles can be very tricky. £404.647.26 was matched at 1.01.
