From the moment that she won her first race with her first starter, Shoot the Nickel, I've been following Adrianne DeVaux's time at the helm of her own stable and had the privilege of hanging with her during my trip to Saratoga last summer. (Article starts on page 21.)

It was great to sit down with Cherie and learn more about her career, her philosophies on training, and more. (Article starts on page 9.)

Thank you and good luck, Cherie!

That's right, folks. You read that correctly. William Woodward sent Omaha to England for his four-year-old season, where he learned to run on turf and in the opposite direction to attempt the 2 1/2-mile Ascot Gold Cup. There, he met a filly named Quashed

the third Triple Crown, for duplicating his sire's historic wins, and not only sealing his place in the sport's short list of immortals as a Triple Crown winner but also as the son of another Triple Crown winner. BUT that's not the only thing I want to celebrate Omaha for. He also came within

were not his forte: he would win only once at two, but did have his share of placings. So good was he as a juvenile that the legendary Damon Runyon predicted the colt would win the 1935 Kentucky Derby in an August 1934 column, nine months before the prized race.

We know Omaha best for winning

two stalls to make a larger one for his charge -- or as a continuation of the O names in his pedigree, with Ormonde, an English Triple Crown winner, and his son Orme, sire of another English Triple Crown winner in Flying Fox. Because Omaha was so tall, his stride longer, the shorter juvenile races

that's what this newest foal would be best at, his long stride complementing the marathon races that once dotted the stakes calendar.

Named Omaha, this newest Belair colt either earned his moniker for his beefiness -- trainer "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons would often knock down a barrier

Today, 94 years ago, a tall, lanky chestnut colt, one of the first of Gallant Fox's foals, came into the world at Claiborne Farm. His dam Flambino had been third in the 1927 Belmont Stakes. His sire had won the second Triple Crown and had made it clear that William Woodward bred for distance and

So, today, we remember the Fox, born nearly a century ago, and the glorious performances he gave us in 1930, when he became the second horse to win the Triple Crown.

Happy Birthday, Handsome!

so that other horses would get closer & then he would shift back into gear, as if he were playing with his competition. That wouldn't fly in those valuable 3-year-old stakes so William Woodward & Fitzsimmons recruited the one rider they knew could get the Fox to win and win well: Earl Sande.

The Fox was one of those horses that challenged even Hall of Fame trainer "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons because he figured out right away that he did not have to work that hard to win. In fact, he liked to toy with his competition, getting out in front just enough that he would then slow down

Accomplished nonfiction writer seeks assurances abt writing fiction. You have to get lucky w/fiction & be in the right place at the right time. That kind of uncertainty has killed my creativity. I'm abt to turn 49. I want to indulge that part, but I can't get that uncertainty out of my head & heart.

It's Women's History Month & @twinspires.bsky.social wanted to recognize the women who have made a name for themselves in our biggest races. Starting w/Diane Crump in 1970 t/h Krone & Napravnik, women have been a part of these great races for more than 50 years.
