Dual purpose Racehorse Trainer based @ Fair Hill π 1st American to train an Irish hurdle & bumper winner π 7x Grade 1 winning trainer π Eclipse Award Winner
Quiet afternoon at Fair Hill after all training is done and lunch is fedβ¦ crazy to think 3 years ago I set up here paying for 20 stalls with just 8 horses, trying to find a way to survive. Today we filled up all 62 stalls, plus have the string in Florida. Grateful βοΈ
Exciting filly to have in the barn with Rock Your World doing so well! Great pick up by @dpcracing1 for great owners in the barn.. hoping she can be lucky ππ» Sheβs enjoying a 30 day vacation at the farm from the sale and really looking forward to getting her back in!
Great to see the Rock Your Worlds coming out on fire! Recently purchased at Timonium with @Keri145 Rock Your World x Birdsandthebees. Looking forward to the future!
Historic Heart aka Harry wins his and AFRβs first Grade 1 win at historical Saratoga Racecourse. Incredible achievement coming back after over a year off and massive thanks to AFR owners, Keri Brion, Danny Mullins and all involved at the yard. @Keri145 @Berge1La @USASteeplechase

Irish bred, The Insider Takes Race 3 at Colonial! π Winner: The Insider (IRE) Owner: Hudson River Farms & R and K Racing Jockey: Stephen Mulqueen Trainer: @Keri145 Congratulations to all the connections!
A remarkable training feat by Keri Brion and equally remarkable performance by Historic Heart out-gaming Proven Innocent by a nose to capture a thrilling renewal of G1 A.P. Smithwick Memorial while making just his 2nd start in 2 years. Danny Mullins the winning rider.
The third time was the charm for HISTORIC HEART (Fracas) in Wednesday's GI A. P. Smithwick Memorial Handicap as he rallied home to win it by a nose over Proven Innocent at Saratoga Race Course. Owned by Atlantic Friends Racing and trained by Keri Brion, the 8-year-old geldingβ¦
Proud of βHarryβ today, what a massive effort off almost a 2 year lay off to land his biggest career victory and first Grade 1 πͺπ»
HISTORIC HEART battles down the stretch to win the Grade 1 A.P. Smithwick Memorial Handicap at 10-1 with @dan2231 up for trainer @Keri145.

Thank you everyone for the messages and well wishes. Blue ran huge today winning the Kiser and I am happy to report he is back in my barn here at Saratoga and he will be back!! Huge thanks to the quick acting @TheNYRA vets and the staff at Rood n Riddle.

Starting to feel like Saratoga season as 4 arrived this afternoon to join Dolce Vino π€© We get rolling tomorrow with two in the jump stake and have 2 more nice fillies in on the turf Friday π @UplandFlats @ACeventer28 @dpcracing1



Steeplechase racing has been cancelled for today, July 10th, and will be rescheduled for a later date.
Our 1st 2 year old runner for the year ran hard to be 3rd today @ Saratoga. In our last 5 starts in NY we have had 3 seconds and 2 thirds, hopefully can add a few winners to the count in the coming weeks π

Thank you @ScottWykoffWBAL π Going to be a very busy summer π

Double on the day at @LaurelPark with Big Big Star tough on the lead in the opener under @jorgeruizjockey & My Brazilian Girl dominated from the gate under Jaime Rodriguez π Thank you and congrats to my owners and a great job by my whole team. @RandKRacing @dpcracing1


Keri Brion book-ended the @LaurelPark card with turf winners after My Brazilian Girl ($2.80) found her right spot in the finale. @MarylandTB filly wired this group for J-Rod's second win on the afternoon. 5-7-3-2 official.
Big Big Star ($11.80) was wired by the favorite in his seasonal debut, but @jorgeruizjockey took no chances in the opener @LaurelPark by putting the gelding up front, and walking the dog for @Keri145. 1-8-4-3 official.
Like A Dream is super game on the rail to get up under @jockeydcenteno to win the 5th @ @DelParkRacing for owners KMSN Stable - 1st time stretching out and off of an 8 1/2 month layoff π Great job by my whole team π

Nice group of 2 year olds this morning learning about taking dirt and being in close with other horses. All important things to learn as they all get closer to their first starts βοΈ
