Sergio & Autamtlara had a great week at split rock taking home 2nd in the 1.10 amateur classic by 0.02 seconds out of 49 entries! Gonna be a fun summer for these two!! 🏆💪🏽
Thanks Kalli Drosos & Monarch Stables for helping him this week!

Sergio & new ride Autamtlara 🏍️ had some great rounds in the 1.10 jumpers this past weekend at the KY horse park for their first show together!
Sergio even jumped his first 1.15 classic ever and they placed 6th with a nice double clear out of 20+ entries! So proud of these two! Excited to see what they do the rest of the summer!! ✨

Showing Up For OTTBs: $35,000 In Prize Money Donated By Thoroughbred Stakeholders Said Carrie Brogden: "I aspire to see demand for Thoroughbreds return to the robust levels experienced during the breed's peak in the 1970s and 1980s."

The Pizza Man and Cozmic One say they’re staying in tonight — no countdown, no confetti, just an early dinner and lights out right on time. Totally ignoring the party in Paddock 72 (we're not sure we believe them...).

On behalf of everyone at Old Friends, thank you for your support, your kindness, and for making 2025 a year to remember. Onward to 2026!
