New Vocations, a group dedicated to the post-racing lives of horses, will host its ninth annual charity horse show, including 15 Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program classes, July 7-8 in Delaware, Ohio.

The hunter and dressage show offers both Thoroughbred and open classes and will take place at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. The deadline for dressage entries has passed, but the show is still taking entries for the hunter show. Early discounted entries are due July 1, and entries also will be taken (but with no discount) at the show.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky Derby and Preakness runner-up Bodemeister will stand at WinStar Farm in Lexington when his racing days are over, the farm and the colt’s owners announced Thursday.

Fasig-Tipton’s vice-president of recruiting and selections, William Graves, has been inspecting yearlings for the auction house’s select sales since 1992.

With the 2012 Triple Crown in the history books, it’s interesting to compare the career of Flower Alley with that of another classic sire, Birdstone, since the two have traveled similar paths to success.

Fasig-Tipton kicks off the 2012 yearling market with the first two major sales, and they are sales of distinctly different character.
