Chapter 1: Closed

The Colonel,

You never forget your first. Thank you for all the long days and the early mornings. Thank you for sporting our Orange & Navy silks with pride and composure. You are a smooth criminal on and off the track. I can not be more proud to have been a small part of your career. Go be great CC

Tom Molloy,

You are a true professional. Thank you for caring for The Colonel at the highest level. Your advice and guidance has been invaluable. It has been a pleasure to get to know you and your family and I hope to climb the mountain top together one day.

To Matt Scull & the Entire FRR Gang,

Thank you for responding to a text from a stranger eager to learn about your world. You are an incredible mentor and an even better friend. You took a young couple from the infield of Churchill Downs to the winners circle of the most prominent tracks in the country. We will forever owe you one. Thank you for answering my countless dumb questions. Thank you for the exposure to everything this beautiful game can offer. The community and friendships we have found within FRR are something we will always be thankful for.

Matt Reidy,

You are a legend. Continue to use your tenacity and boldness to your advantage. You are an irreplaceable friend and I will always be grateful our paths crossed

To my lovely Wife,

Thank you for listening to my endless conversations about this crazy game. Thank you for loving this sport and these animals to the extent I do. Thank you for being my everything and keeping me grounded. I would be nothing without you. I love you so much.

To Everyone else,

Thank you for letting an outsider into your amazing world. We are grateful for what we have experienced over the last year and cannot wait to see what the future holds. The Orange & Navy will be back on track in the near future and we can’t wait to see you there.

Chapter 2 starts now.

Love,

David & Lindsey

270 brings the community together once again! 🏇💙
A fourth-place finish for Two Seven O at Keeneland yesterday, but the impact goes far beyond the finish line. It’s about the people who show up, the friendships built, and a racing community that continues to rally around this horse.
From the grandstand to the rail, it was another special day bringing people together through our shared love of the game. The result may say fourth, but the memories, the connections, and the experience are what make it all worthwhile.
What a day at Keeneland! Thank you to everyone who came out and made it special. Here’s to the journey with 270! 🐎❤

ATB spent the last few days at the Keeneland September sale doing our very best impression of people who belong there.

Checking for fat ankles, book in hand. Nodding thoughtfully at countless horses as they walked away.

Jokes aside, We were lucky enough to be shown around by First Rodeo Racing, and Oracle Bloodstock, who have done this a few hundred more times than we have and were generous with every minute of it.

We asked a lot of dumb questions. They answered all of them.

And yes. It is, in fact, our first rodeo. Thank you for having us.

🐎 ONE HORSE. ONE RACE. ONE COMMUNITY.

Yesterday, Two Seven O took on the Da Hoss Stakes, and once again, he showed us what we love most about this sport, bringing people together.

From the connections and horsemen behind him to the fans who showed up to cheer him on, Two Seven O had a lot of people in one spot, all there because of one horse.

And a huge shoutout to First Rodeo Racing for giving this horse his opportunity and being part of the journey. 🤠

That’s what horse racing is about.
The horses. The people. The memories. The community.

And honestly… that’s why we love it.
