James MacDonald climbed onto the race bike behind Future Headlines for the first time at Grand River Raceway on Monday evening and piloted the three-year-old pacing filly to her first victory of the year in a personal best 1:54.1.

Horses claimed out of their last start were noses apart in the $14,000 featured claiming handicap trot at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Monday, with Southwind Warsaw overcoming a step up in class to hang the smallest possible margin of defeat on What A Peach in 1:57.1.

What A Peach was either a peach or the pits in his last six starts for trainer Jason Robinson – second, break, win, break, win, break – and upon coming to Frank Kamine's care for owner/driver Simon Allard, he managed to be both, making a miscue before the start, then getting back into the race with a big sweeping move.

But right on his bumper through the last... more...

On Nov. 20, 2015, Missy Rothfuss was scrolling through Facebook when a video of a Palomino being ridden caught her eye.

She decided to watch the video closer, only to see the horse was skinny, every bone could be seen, and in overall poor health. The horse had no name, just a number and it was number 64. Number 64 was in a kill pen and only had a couple of days for someone to bail him out.

Missy decided to take a chance on him and bailed the horse out of the kill pen for $500. Missy got number 64 shipped to The Meadows Racetrack where she started working to bring... more...
