Are you suffering from the midweek blues? We have something that may cheer you up ... a video that puts you on the back of one of our horses during a recent gallop!

We have a new arrival!

Led by Sam on Karl Cares, Drake Williams' 2-year-old Hard Spun filly “Welcometothecroc” had Amy Mullen aboard for a recent gallop as she starts to prepare for her racing career.

We're going back to June for this week's Throwback Thursday to relive Fulmineo's maiden victory at Rosie's Gaming and Colonial Downs for Riverdee Stable/Clancy Bloodstock! A very highly regarded member of our barn, we're looking forward to seeing what he does in the future.

Fulmineo proved again to be a consistent performer yesterday, earning his third top two finish in four starts this year. A multiple stakes winner on the flat, he's taken to jumping very well in 2026.

With the firm ground at home, we’re taking advantage of the Middleburg Training Center as the horses prepare for their next start. Ride along as a few of our trainees go for a gallop on the dirt track.

We're headed back to Colonial Downs next week so Sam and Consolation Prize (in front) put in a good school with Barry John Foley to get back in gear.

It’s been awhile since Consolation Prize has schooled and he was psyched to get back over the hurdles!

It could be a big day for the team tomorrow. Not only is Lord Narcisse entered in the first race at Rosie's Gaming and Colonial Downs after last week's race was canceled but in the last race we have Robert and Julie's homebred Sun Above entered.

The 3-year-old won his debut last October and most recently was a very close second at this track last month.

Ever wonder how Julie became a steeplechasing trainer? We're going way back to 2013 when the Aiken Standard talked to her about the path she took from growing up in Oregon to training racehorses.

A career with horses, probably wasn’t the route many would have foreseen for horseman Julie Gomena. She grew up in Oregon, in a non-horsey, non-athletic family, and the notion of becoming an upper level eventer, winning Rolex Kentucky, and making the successful transition into being a Thoroughbred...

We're headed to the track this week with Lord Narcisse entered to run at Rosie's Gaming and Colonial Downs on Thursday to kick off the second half of his season.

Seen here with Sam aboard, he enjoy some downtime this summer, including a trail ride with Piedmont Fox Hounds.
