Huh?

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. So there is ZERO confusion, let me make myself crystal clear. I believe the @jockeyclub, @hisa_us, @Keeneland and the @BreedersCup, along with @TOBAhorses , the @NTRA and members of the @TheNYRA board are all far more connected, coordinated and intertwined than they want anyone in this industry to believe. They all love to hide behind the same bullshit transparency. “We’re independent.” “Different leadership.” “Different boards.” “Different organizations.” Give me a f$&kin break. In my opinion, The Jockey Club stewards sit right in the middle of this entire ecosystem, with their fingerprints and influence reaching into almost every important part of Thoroughbred racing. And when the same people, relationships, interests and organizations keep showing up everywhere, I think the industry has every right to ask some very uncomfortable questions. Potential conflicts of interest. Potential self-dealing. Potential lying. Potential cheating. Potential corruption. Potential greed. Potential abuse of power. Potential manipulation. And potentially things being done behind closed doors that would look VERY different if the entire industry could actually see them. That’s why I’m saying it publicly. And if I’m completely wrong??? SUE ME!!!!! 😃 Seriously. I welcome it!!!!! Because then we get to my favorite word: DISCOVERY. Let’s see the emails. Let’s see the texts. Let’s see the board minutes. Let’s see the private conversations. Let’s see the financial relationships including loans and forgiven loans. Let’s see who is talking to who. Let’s see who is influencing who. Let’s see who benefits. Let’s see how many of these “independent” organizations are really independent when the doors are closed. Open the f$&king books. Let’s F$&kin Go!!!!! Because if I were sitting on one of these boards and somebody publicly accused my organization of operating like this and I knew it was completely false I would come after them immediately. So come after me!!!!! 😃 Because playing offense against me means opening themselves up too. And I know the LAST thing some of these people want is real discovery, real transparency and somebody who isn’t afraid of them digging through how this industry actually operates. And trust me, I have a hell of a lot more. A LOT f$&kin more!!!!! I hit the Jockey Club Stewards like Buster Douglas hit Mike Tyson. They were so full of themselves they never saw it coming from Mike from Queens. Tyson was never the same after that. Neither are the Stewards. I’m going to fight harder. It’s about the future of the entire sport and the people who love this sport and need this sport. So to all these organizations preaching transparency while hiding behind their “independent” leadership and “independent” boards: F$&kin sue me!!!!! 😃 Let discovery prove me wrong. GAME ON. ♥️💪 Feel free to retweet this so everyone sees this!!!!!

A passenger on the Dubai–Tel Aviv flight recounts: “We are currently in Saudi Arabia. One of the crew members attacked the pilot with a knife and disabled the aircraft’s systems. Yaniv (pictured?) and another passenger stormed the cockpit and subdued the attacker. Luckily, there were two more pilots on board. They were the ones who managed to land the plane.” Well, yes. Overall, the probability that a plane full of Israelis will contain a trained assault team, two additional pilots, and, statistically, at least one cardiac surgeon, psychologist, lawyer, and diamond dealer is substantially higher than 50%.

🚨‼🚨‼🚨‼🚨‼🚨‼🚨🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘👉 Poster 09-29-26. Several Thoroughbreds still needing help and we cannot help them as our moratorium is still in place. There is a new horse on this poster that was born in Great Britain. No horses are safe no matter where they were born. These horses would not be ending up at these lots if the industry would put forth the proper funding and infrastructure to protect them better and circumvent lower level auctions. Until that is put in place and the industry puts the horses first, they cannot claim how much they love the horses and how much they have done for them. There are no more excuses. Action is needed now. 👉Note: These are only the Thoroughbreds we are currently aware of. Furthermore, we have no affiliation with the lots. @jockeyclub @BreedersCup @keenelandracing @theTDN @PastTheWire @KYTbred @RepoleStable @PatCummingsNTA @westlakeracing @ThoroughbredRA @EponaInitiative @KateMaddenSC @UKRacingInfo

Yay! Goodies!

🇫🇷 FRENCH LESSONS FOR THE 1%…JUST IN TIME FOR PARIS🇫🇷 With Jim “MIA” Gagliano and Everett Dobson apparently heading to Paris for another industry “business meeting,” Dianne and I thought we’d help them prepare. After all, coming from the United States, they might encounter a member of the French press with a few questions. So today’s vocabulary lesson: 🇫🇷 Incompétence-Incompetence 🇫🇷 Conflit d’intérêts- Conflict of interest 🇫🇷 Transparence- Transparency 🇫🇷 Responsabilité- Accountability 🇫🇷 Où est le leadership ?- Where’s the leadership? 🇫🇷 Violation de données personnelles- Personal data breach 🇫🇷 Aftercare entièrement financé- Fully funded aftercare 🇫🇷 Gaspillage- Waste 🇫🇷 Pourquoi Paris ?- Why Paris? 🇫🇷 Qui est responsable ?- Who is responsible? 🇫🇷 Pourquoi personne ne répond ?- Why is nobody answering? And one we’ve been asking for quite a while: 🇫🇷 Où est passé Jim Gagliano ? 🇺🇸 Where has Jim Gagliano been? And perhaps the most useful phrase of all: 🇫🇷 “Nous enquêtons sur nous-mêmes.” 🇺🇸 “We are investigating ourselves.” That one shouldn’t require much practice. While American racing is dealing with serious problems here at home, the 99% is demanding answers. The 1% is heading to Paris. Bon voyage. 🇫🇷 We love our sport. That’s exactly why we’re asking the questions. @jockeyclub

How magical to see them so happy and from this perspective! Thank you for sharing this! ❤️❤️❤️

The footage is wonderful!

So we need some help to finish out September. Please help us raise $1000 to get us through the end of the month. Everything will go towards feed and hay. We can do this! PayPal: Cindy@thoroughbrednetwork.net Venmo: @trnlhorses CashApp: $trnlhorses Thank you! Please share!

For us, everything goes to the horses. We have no paid administrative positions.

Their 990s. Go to Candid and just search for the organization.

This is why I spoke out about TAA in an article earlier this year. People NEED to know how TAA works. We were accredited for years. We received a pittance. People donate to TAA thinking the money will get to the organizations. It doesn’t. Up front, TAA looks the part. Behind the scenes, they treat organizations poorly. I have emails threatening that our grant checks would be withheld if I didn’t take down a post that was honest and truthful. I didn’t. It happened a second time too. Margaret’s organization as well as @RACEFund and others have been treated very poorly. We just don’t want to be associated with them any more. TAA needs to be completely overhauled. Here’s the link to my article: pastthewire.com/from-the-out…

Thank you.

The horses are starting to feel the weather changes, which you’d think is a good thing. Our biggest concern this time of year are barometric pressure changes and significant fluctuations in the humidity. Here in southern Louisiana, we are smack dab in the middle of hurricane season so it’s a very real thing. We’re extra vigilant to watch for behavioral changes and indications of colic. We’re still on overnight turnout because the temps are still getting very high. Thank you Kate for your donation! We are grateful for your ongoing support and cheerleading! We are limping into the last week of September and are pulling out all the stops to make it through the month. We are out of everything - again. Donations are so greatly appreciated right now.

Yep. But there just isn’t any money available for aftercare. BS.

We are very saddened to hear of the passing of legendary Louisiana trainer Sturges Ducoing, Jr. Mr. Ducoing's history of training horses goes back over 50 years from 1976 to this month with his most recent entry being Nola Queen who finished 2nd at Louisiana Downs on September 19, in the Louisiana Cup Juvenile Fillies Stakes. Mr. Ducoing was a fixture in the industry and his presence will be missed. Please find his obituary here: greenwoodfh.com/obituaries/S… TRNL is (very) honored to be the organization selected to receive donations in his memory.

He’s such a little spitfire! He’s adorable and mischievous at the same time. I remember that line from Gremlins - don’t know how as it’s been decades since I saw that but the adding water was pretty significant. Glad you guys had a break from the heat this morning. We’re getting there - slowly but surely.

We adore him. He is the sweetest boy!

So - here’s Malibu Classic, adopted from us and loved by Kasey Ballard for 10 years now. Malibu lives with us at TRNL and he’s quite talented:

September has been a beauty of a month! We’re finally getting some relief from the humidity. The temps are still high but with the lower humidity, it’s almost, dare I say, pleasant! Mary S., Ann L., Ann M. and Kim, thank you ! We had feed and hay this week! We raised $900! Thank you thank you! What a blessing! WE ARE SO SO GRATEFUL !!! Yes - we are! We’ve been busy here and hope to share some good news soon. Let’s keep the momentum going and get through September on a high note.
