Baudron excited for Breeders Crown with ‘Cuatro’
When it comes to a preference in horses, Standardbred or Thoroughbred, Louis Baudron has only one.
"My preference is they are good," Baudron said with a laugh. "When you have a good horse, I don't care if it's a trotter or a Thoroughbred. We try to find the good one."
Baudron, a native of France and the 34-year-old grandson of renowned horseman Jean Pierre Dubois, has enjoyed success with both breeds during his career as a trainer, driver, and jockey. He has trained 560 harness racing winners and 151 on the Thoroughbred side. He has nearly 400 wins as a driver, including four Grade 1 ev... more...

Ramona Hill, Southwind Tyrion on sidelines

Diamondtequilashot a convincing winner in Meadows feature
Diamondtequilashot moved smartly first over and rolled to a convincing victory in Wednesday's feature at The Meadows, a $10,800 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.
Diamondtequilashot was third near the three-quarters when Tony Hall sent her after the leader Touchamatic. The 7-year-old daughter of Palone Ranger-Straitequilanite overpowered that rival and held off the late rally of Crisp Mane to down her by 1-1/2 lengths in 1:51.2. Lakeisha Hall shot the Lightning Lane for show.
Bill Rhoades trains the winner, who extended her lifetime bankroll to $334,674, for Rick Senger.
