"Now, we're going to be able to race our turf horses year round. It's definitely something exciting for New York & we definitely have owners more interested in bringing turf horses to New York," trainer Amelia Green on the benefit of Tapeta racing at Belmont Park in the winter ⬇️
“We were looking for a well bred turf filly and you definitely get these here in Book 1.”
🇺🇸 Great to hear from @Ameliajgreen and Amanda Gillman after their purchase of @TheCastlebridge’s Frankel filly who they secured on behalf of EGL-One for 180,000gns at #TattsOctober.

The NYRA gate crew have a dangerous but important job. Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a starter? Come meet the gate crew at @OldFriendsCC's annual barn party on Tuesday from 9-1! There will be food and beverage trucks and raffles! 483 Sand Hill Rd., Greenfield, NY

Before the gates open, the real work is already underway.
From 4 AM starts to the final race, backstretch workers keep this industry moving around the clock.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication. We’re proud to stand with you. 💙 – at Saratoga Springs, NY
