Sharing with you my fascinating discoveries about Thoroughbred racing, sales, fashion, food, beverage, tips and more.
In Kentucky, The Bluegrass State, the Battle of the Bluegrass is a title that is used to describe many competitive activities and sport events. This weekend, in The Horse Capitol of the World, The Battle of the Blue Grass is reserved for an important graded stakes race on The Road to the Kentucky Derby. The long overdue, 96th edition of the Blue Grass Stakes will race this Saturday!

When the 2019 Kentucky Derby resulted in a disqualification I thought that racing could not be more historically different and I felt a sense of disappointment. Never would I have imagined that different and disappointment would become what is often referred to as, “The New Normal.” Sometime, in the winter of 2019 a novel virus began sweeping the world and changed everything. Horse racing, an American tradition since the 1600s, slowed but did not, will not stop. Following an altered path on “The Road to the Kentucky Derby”, Grade 1 racing returns with such enthusiasm that it gathered 2 divisions! On the first Saturday in May, when the KY Derby traditionally takes place, we may instead enjoy two Arkansas Derby races, before the KY Derby resumes, scheduled for September 5th.
