Since my first day of live racing at age 12, I have had “visit every racetrack in America” on my bucket list, doing my best to check another track off my list each year.

After a week of relative quiet on the North American racing calendar, activity picks back up in a big way over the next several days, and the focus will expand beyond this continent over to the desert sands of Dubai in the Middle East, where several top U.S. horses are slated to compete at Meydan Racecourse.

My husband, Jake, makes a living as a cowboy for Tiffany Cattle Company at the Allen Division, in Allen, Kan. His family has a cow/calf operation that he grew up on in Sedan, Kan. Jake has always made a living on the back of a horse and spent a lot of time starting horses, but had little show experience until recently.

The 93rd Academy Awards are right around the corner and you may think that the broadcast is simply part of the Hollywood press machine (which, it kind of is), but it can offer audiences like us some unexpected entertainment.

Think Oscar predictions fall outside of the gambling purview? Think again. Sure, it may take some digging to find a sportsbook willing to offer lines or a friend who’s devised a pool on the major categories — Best Picture, Best Actor and Actress, Best Director — but they’re out there and trust us, there’s money to be won.

The International Forum for the Aftercare of Racehorses (IFAR) has released its lineup of speakers for its sixth conference, which will be held as a series of two virtual webinars on April 5 and April 19 at 7 a.m. ET. Each webinar will last approximately two hours. IFAR is partnering with the Japan Racing Association (Japanese Consultative Committee on Aftercare of Racehorses) to put on this year’s event.
