Quite possibly one of the worst rebrands in modern history. Just dumb.

If you visit Ireland, I highly recommend a stay @CashelPalace in the County Tipperary town of Cashel. It is not just a place to stay, but an experience itself with great bars & restaurants, like the Michelin 1 Star rated Bishops Buttery. The Rock of Cashel tourist attraction is

I quoted this song numerous times in the chamber of the Kentucky state Senate.
Daryl Hall & John Oates 🎩🪄 I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) (1981). Daryl Hall & John Oates performing their #1 hit, I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do). Pure blue-eyed soul magic from one of the greatest duos of all time. 💫

Having been a part of the team that structured both the contracts & operational plans for @BreedersCup when it was still a one day event, the bigger issue is there just aren’t enough tracks large enough to hold the crowd without building very expensive temporary facilities. When.
Key to the "Breeders' Cup never travels to XYZ track(s)" conversation is that XYZ track(s) don't want the Breeders' Cup. It's an expensive publicity play for host as BC swoops in to get all the $ on the backs of the track's expense. Hence, many never reappear & others don't try.

I’ve been a fan of Diego Velazquez since I saw him win @LeopardstownRC 11 months ago. ✅39 G1 winners now for Frankel @JuddmonteFarms . ✅14 G1s this year for Aidan O’Brien @Ballydoyle all achieved since May 11.@aobrienfansite . ✅@coolmoreamerica Turf Mile @keeneland &.
DIEGO VELAZQUEZ by a whisker! 🤏. He holds off the fast finishing NOTABLE SPEECH in the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois in Deauville… 🏆🇫🇷.

Bravo to the British racing industry @BHAHorseracing @TheJockeyClub for standing up to extremely dangerous government proposals that would inflict drastic harm on #HorseRacing in the UK. If you care about the future of racing where you live, take note. Also, this is an.

“…as Scorching started to weaken while Tom's Magic began to unfurl his long chestnut legs from the back of the field. Appearing to be free and clear rolling down the lane, Tom's Magic swallowed up ground with every stride, and despite closing like a freight train late, he was.
Mansetti ($38.70) goes gate-to-wire and upsets at 18/1 in the 166th King's Plate at @woodbinetb! 🏆#KP25👑. Pietro Moran was aboard for trainer @kevin_attard and owners @UlwellingRacing!

Congratulations @UlwellingRacing on winning the #KingsPlate . We are disappointed in the result(2nd) but proud of the huge effort by Tom’s Magic. Our @CJThoroughbreds colt had a rough trip but came flying once he got clear in the stretch. We have a nice horse & will live to fight.
MANSETTI (18-1) WOWS, DOMINATES IN THE 166TH RUNNING OF THE KING'S PLATE! #KP25 👑 🏆 . PIETRO MORAN, AT 20 YEARS OLD, IS A KING'S PLATE CHAMPION! 🤯

I’ve always believed that @UMichFootball cheated. Their current coach cheated. Their last coach cheated. The national title should be vacated & a post-season ban implemented. “Harbaugh ran a program that was largely dismissive of rules compliance.”. The @NCAA is an absolute.
Column: "Hard to beat the cheaters," Jim Harbaugh once said. Now, with 14 years of show-cause penalties on the resume, he is one of the most penalized cheaters in NCAA history. But the overall ruling is still a win (an expensive win) for Michigan.
