00:00 - “Immediately following the race a decision was made to retire him sound rather than subject him to claiming company and an uncertain future.” We love stories like this one: usracing.com/news/features/…
- In the covered arena this morning for Freestyle is Hozier - a 2018 gelding by Pioneerof the Nile who was bred by @WinStarFarm. As a racehorse, he finished 2nd in the 2021 G2 Rebel Stakes and earned $759,205 in his racing career #TBMakeover
00:00 - Hundreds of recently-retired ex-racehorses. Ten disciplines. Over $100,000 in prize money. The one and only Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium, presented by @TBCharities, is just weeks away: are you excited??
00:00 - Our 2023 Field Hunter Champion is Arklow and Gina Gans! Arklow (Arch - Unbridled Empire, by Empire Maker) was bred in Kentucky by John R. Penn & Frank Penn. While racing he was owned by @DonegalRacing & Joseph Bulger. He was race trained by @bradcoxracing #TBMakeover
- Let's discuss (because we haven't in a while!): should aftercare stories be included in the pre-race programming on network TV on #KentuckyDerby day?
- Guess which former @BreedersCup contender and earner of $3 million is our first horse on the grounds for the first practice Arrival Exam! Good morning, Arklow! #TBmakeover @bradcoxracing
- Imperative readies for Dressage. He is our 2nd @BreedersCup alumni competing today. The 2010 gelding by Bernardini is ridden by Louise Atkins from PA in Dressage. Imperative earned $3,302,810 on the track from 50 starts that included the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Classic #TBMakeover

- Zenyatta’s son, Cozmic One and Isabela de Sousa during their round in the show jumping finale at this year’s TB Makeover. If you’re not at @KyHorsePark today, you are missing out on some great OTTB action! #thingsyoudontseeeveryday #OTTBpower
00:00 - Show Hunters also have to complete a flat, under saddle round. In this morning group is Brooklyn Strong. Brooklyn Strong won the 2020 Remsen Stakes @TheNYRA and then competed in the 2021 Kentucky Derby @ChurchillDowns @KentuckyDerby #TBMakeover
00:00 - This morning RRP made the rounds on the backside at @ChurchillDowns, talking to trainers about what we do and how we can better support them when their horses are ready to retire from racing. @JenRoytz & @RosieNapravnik also took a moment to say hello to Justify!
