Despite the cold, the news cycle of the week in the bluegrass rode a hot streak.
In Frankfort, the state’s capital, the House of Representatives approved legislation protecting Historical Horse Racing just a few days after it had passed the Senate. Gov. Andy Beshear is expected to sign the bill that redefines the state’s definition of pari-mutuel wagering to include HHR games. A good portion of HHR revenue fuels purses in Kentucky, which obviously benefits horsemen and should green light construction and renovation projects at Churchill Downs, Ellis Park, and Turfway Park.
The swift work of horse-friendly senator Damon Thayer and representatives David Osborne and Matt Koch is to be commended. Prior to that vote late on Feb. 11 came news from Keeneland that was equally commendable.
Keeneland Names Gatewood Bell as VP of Racing

O’Neill Looking For Third Kentucky Derby Win With Trio Of Sophomores Sponsored by:
Trainer Doug O Neill
With a trio of promising 3-year-olds in his extensive stable, Doug O Neill is looking forward to the New Year, with a third Kentucky Derby victory high on his wish list.
The 52-year-old Michigan native lists Hot Rod Charlie, Wipe the Slate and Team Merchants among his well-regarded sophomores.
Hot Rod Charlie shocked the world finishing second at 94-1 by only three-quarters of length to probable 2020 2-year-old male Eclipse champion Essential Quality in the Breeders Cup Juvenile last Nov. 6.
Wearing blinkers for the first time, Wipe the Slate, a son of O Neill s 2016 Derby winner Nyquist, scored an impressive maiden win Dec. 26 at Santa Anita after finishing second in his debut to undefeated Sham Stakes winner Life Is Good at Del Mar last Nov. 22. Nyquist is America s leading freshman sire who stands for $75,000 at Darley s Jonabell Farm in Kentucky.

Chestnut coats are not the most common color in the Thoroughbred. Bay, and then dark bay or brown, far outnumber the red-headed wunderkind of the breed, and yet for some reason, there are a considerable number of very high-class racers who are chestnuts. Man o War, as well as Triple Crown winners Sir Barton, Omaha, Whirlaway, Assault, Secretariat, and Justify, to name that few, stand out as superb racers with a chestnut coat.
Racing at Santa Anita on Dec. 26 was swept with a flood of three chestnuts getting their first Grade 1 victories. The most famous of these was Charlatan (by Speightstown), who won a division of the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby on May 2, only to have that prestigious prize removed from his record following the discovery of lidocaine in his system after a routine post-race test.
