New York Watch: Stopspendingmaria [01:28]
What do you do after you lose a horse you named after a loved one to a claim? If you are Mike Repole, you buy another horse and also name it after that person. Stopspendingmaria, whom Repole named in honor of his wife, drew off in hand to break her maiden by seven lengths on Thursday at Belmont Park and become the first 2-year-old featured in the New York Watch Series, which shines the spotlight on promising colts and fillies that have recently cleared the maiden and allowance ranks at Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park, or Saratoga Race Course. Repole had already named a different horse, No Shopping Maria, after his wife, but was forced to part ways with the 5-year-old mare after she was claimed for $5000 at Laurel Park in January. "My wife doesn't know as much about racing, and she couldn't understand how I could sell her horse," said Repole. "I promised her I'd name another horse after her. She thought I'd name it 'Go Shopping Maria,' but I'd never do that. She thinks [the name is] hysterical. She won't stop shopping, but she thinks it's funny." Repole chose a 2-year-old filly he purchased at this year's OBS February Selected Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training to be the second horse whose name was inspired by his wife's spending habits. "I've got to give the credit to my racing manager Jim Martin and Todd Pletcher," said Repole. "I wasn't at the sale as I was vacationing in the Caribbean.

Lester Piggott Royal Academy Breeders' Cup Mile 1990 [01:57]
Lester Piggott Royal Academy Breeders' Cup Mile 1990 The triumphant return of the 54-year-old Lester Piggott, just 12 days out of retirement. Even for an 11-time champion jockey and nine-time Derby winner, it does not get much better than this. Years on, Piggott held firm to the assertion that Royal Academy's victory in the Mile for his old friend Vincent O'Brien was a "dream come true". Piggott rarely used such language.

sadie practice movie [00:45]
Sadie's is not a practice horse she knows her job and does not need to practice...but she will. The first run is by me, second run is by a girl who had never ridden her before and she did really awsome for her first time just need to figure out her spots and hand positions on Sadie. But she did run much harder for a smaller rider.
