Great interview!

Tapit Trice is so much like his Daddy Tapit. I went back and looked at Tapit's Laurel Futurity and Wood Memorial races. I'll be darn...he did the same thing as Tapit Trice, i.e. when he gets into the stretch, he is watching the railbirds! Todd may have to consider a right eye blinkers for Tapit Trice to make him concentrate on business. Because as Forte came to him, they took off in tandem to the wire. Unbelievable!

Arcangelo was my top pick in the Belmont! I was so excited and incredibly happy for Arcangelo, Jena Antonucci, Javier Castellano and all the connections! It was such a great race! ❤️🐎❤️🐎❤️🐎

Excellent! My favorite quote from Jena Antonucci is “It’s them,” meaning as we all know the horses. She encapsulated what I wish to hear from all horse people about horse racing. To me the sport is too commercialized-reminds me of Christmas. Happy to see one dog-sorry I forget it’s name. Missed seeing Lovely Lucy.

by chance they met. what a fairy tale story. let me tell you arcangelo is one tough horse. the deal of the century for ebbert. bought at a yearling sale for $35.000. the son of the great arrogate who passed on at 7 years old which was way too young. the grandson of the strong tapit. arcangelo has great genes. an owner does not need a million dollar horse to win the big race. antonucci with great work to get this done.
