Our Brown Road Racing partners started the day bright and early with a visit to the Oklahoma Training Track to watch the magnificent thoroughbreds in action. The dedication and hard work that goes into preparing the horses is truly inspiring.

Brown Road Racing members met up to cheer on in La Salvadorena’s ninth race. As we cheered her on, she faced some interference and was bumped between horses at the gate. Despite this, she managed to navigate through the crowd and save ground before strategically finding an opening between three rivals at the three-sixteenths pole. With jockey F. Prat guiding her, she made a powerful surge along the rail in the final sixteenth to secure a strong second placement in the race. Congratulations to trainer Ray Handal and team, jockey F. Prat for a great ride and to our partners for an impressive race.

Certified Loverboy showcasing his talent under the guidance of trainer Ray Handal. In the fourth race, Certified Loverboy made a strong start by pressing outside the leader from the beginning. As the race progressed, he engaged in a bid with another contender at the half-mile pole. With jockey F. Prat skillfully steering him, Certified Loverboy battled inside of another horse around the far turn. However, as they neared the final stretch, he was unable to match the pace of the front-runner but managed to secure a solid place in the race…. Following the race, it was confirmed that Certified Loverboy had been claimed. We extend our gratitude to trainer Ray Handal and his team, as well as to our partners, for their unwavering dedication and commitment throughout his journey. As Certified Loverboy moves on to the next phase of his career, we send our best wishes for his continued success.
