Sometimes I think about how the Thoroughbred Times trademark, copyrights, and domain name were sold for $93K to an investor who never did anything with those assets except launch a single-page placeholder site that doesn't even load anymore.
American Pharoah, Holy Bull, Sunday Silence, Lost in the Fog, and Charismatic are up for adoption. There's a catch (scroll down): mspca.org/adoption-searc…
Things you find when cataloging — a recent acquisition, Racing in America: 1665-1865 (Volume 1), came with this handsome bookplate of Bayard Tuckerman, Jr. — New England horseman and first president of Suffolk Downs — affixed on the inside front cover.
"He's a good honest horse that can win against good horses." thoroughbreddailynews.com/mass-bred-lege…
"The wonders never ceased." A day at good old Aqueduct: theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…
This collection is out of scope for the Railbird Library but it looks like an interesting acquisition for someone: abaa.org/book/1535391274
Spring, when my thoughts turn to the racetrack. It helps to browse old photos of old favorites. Look at this sunny day shot from Suffolk Downs, May 1974: ark.digitalcommonwealth.org/ark:/50959/7h1…

I've written a lot about the forgotten and erased history of Black jockeys in Thoroughbred racing. But I had never heard of the first Black woman jockey. Thanks to a new book from @SarahMaslinNir and Raymond White, that's about to change. kentucky.com/opinion/linda-…
Here’s the final @nytimes sports section written and produced by the NYT’s sports department, which our company has closed. I started working in the section 19-1/2 years ago, and this moment is breaking my heart.
So for years, I’ve joked that a bobblehead is a sign that you’ve made it in racing. I got a good luck present from a friend this week and I am delighted. Happy Pennsylvania Derby week!
Here are bunch o'blog posts from 2007/2008, a few from after that. They're amateurish & cringy, but the comments from the 2008 synthetic summit (8 hours of listening to panels about track surfaces--remember, @railbird?) are interesting to look back at brooklynbackstretch.com/tag/synthetic-…
Trainer Mark Casse re: Tapeta/synthetic surfaces: "What if we had kept the Model T? Instead, look at what we've done with automobiles, how we've made those so much safer. We're still using a racetrack that's been around for 125 years, and there's only so much you can do for it."
Rest well, Funny Cide. A beautiful spot for a beautiful horse. You were always the people’s horse, so it’s fitting that you now reside among the people. You are deeply missed, but eternally loved. 💖
The ashes of 2003 @KentuckyDerby and @PreaknessStakes winner Funny Cide “the Gutsy Gelding” were buried in a public spot behind the clubhouse at Saratoga Race Course Sunday morning. Funny Cide died at the age of 23 in July. @theTDN
