Name change for Vallenzeri, Grapefruit out (And so much more)

Alot to talk about today, first off thank you for everyone on the RPH(rockportharbor.com/forum) site for their sympathies for the passing of my dad. Secondly, there is only a few weeks left until the opening of my home track Delaware Park. So in a few days, I will be sharing a few photos that I've taken of the past two years there, as that's how long I've been going semi-regularly. They will be of most likley, last year's DelOaks, DelCap and a few of Elusive Moment (for you Smarty Jones fans, that is his full sister who raced here a few times).

Anyway Azeri's first born was finally sold, link. However, Vallenzeri (who is by AP Indy) will be getting a name change according to his new trainer Bob Baffert. Honestly, I'm not an Azeri fan and the name was blah to me. However, with one of the best trainers in the US, he can become a really nice horse. Will he be his mom and dad? No, but only time will tell.

The Pamplemousse is out of the Derby, link. Hopefully we see him action next year, also Quality Road has a quarter crack, but that doesn't sound like they are too concerned. If he drops, then it helps Dunkirk more and more.

The winner of the third annual Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award was announced. Link

Stallion Spotlights will be returning starting next week with Bertrando. Again sorry for all of these delays.
