He's back! 😍 TAPPAN STREET (Into Mischief), last seen on the track winning the GI Curlin Florida Derby in March, has clearly handled his recovery and subsequent return to training like a pro. The colt was forced to miss the Kentucky Derby after suffering a condylar fracture in

We love when 2yos win on debut! Congratulations to our partners @WinStarFarm & First Go Racing 🤝 Can’t wait to see what Jackson Hole can do for @PletcherRacing when the penny drops 🐎💨
On debut #7 JACKSON HOLE ($3.60) looked good while still being green winning race 4 at @GulfstreamPark. The 2yo son of Nyquist (@DarleyAmerica) was ridden by @ljlmvel and is trained by Todd Pletcher.

After 185 Group 1 wins, trainer Chris Waller will remarkably have his first VRC Oaks runner with a filly who has given him no reason to spell her. @gilbertgardiner @cwallerracing

Bring on the 2025 Ladbrokes Cox Plate 🤩 From Kingston Town to Makybe Diva & Winx, @TheValley has hosted the most legendary performances in the history of racing. @HugeBowman, @boss_glen & Damien Oliver re-live the track's greatest hits from its greatest race.

Congrats to a great friend and trainer @Forsman_Racing 👏👏👏 @Chinahorseclub have had tremendous success w/ Andrew & Murray w/Madison County, Queen Of Diamonds, Mime, Unition, Karisto, etc. Looking forward to the enigmatic Privy Garden adding to the tally tomorrow & beyond!
We believe Andrew has set a New Zealand record for the fastest 1000 domestic wins in history. Paul O'Sullivan brought up 1000 NZ wins in his 17th season training. Mark Walker brought up 1000 in NZ in his 25th season of training, though he was in Singapore 12 of those seasons.

That ❌-factor made Patch Adams a standout on the track — two Grade 1 wins at Saratoga say it all. Excited to back him in his next chapter at @WinStarFarm. 🏇💫 #PatchAdams #FreakyFast @bradcoxracing
🚨 ALERT: Due to an injury sustained in training, dual Grade I winner Patch Adams (Into Mischief) will not be competing in the Breeders' Cup as planned and has been retired to @WinStarFarm for the 2026 breeding season. https://t.co/ng2JJqEdFQ
