MGSW Disturbingthepeace Dies At Old Friends

MGSW Disturbingthepeace (Bold Badgett) passed away at the age of 25 due to complications from colic Old Friends announced Friday. An earner of more than $666,000 in his 24-race career, the gelding did his best racing at Del Mar, winning back-to-back renewals of the GII Pat O'Brian S. along with the GII Triple Bend Breeders' Cup Invitational H. and the GII Bing Crosby Breeders' Cup H. He retired to Old Friends at the end of the 2012 racing season.

“Disturbingthepeace had a nice race career,” said Old Friends Founder and President, Michael Blowen. “He was completely, and inappropriately, named because he never disturbed anyone. He was the gentlest, quietest, most independent horse we ever had. He will be missed.”

Last-Minute Fashion Finds for the 2023 Kentucky Derby

With the countdown to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve dipping into single-digits, the pressure is on for fashion-conscious women to find the perfect outfit for Derby day.

Massive Pools, New Betting Options Highlight Kentucky Derby Week Wagering Menu

Gamblers will be treated with massive pools and a wide variety of wagering opportunities on Kentucky Derby week that will begin Saturday, April 29 at Churchill Downs. New on this year’s wagering menu will be the debut of the $1 rolling Super Hi 5. If no one correctly picks the first five finishers, the bet will carryover to the next race. Previously, the Super Hi 5 was only offered on the final race each card. This will be a traditional Super Hi 5 bet and not a jackpot.

The Friday Show Presented By The Jockey Club: Corey Nakatani’s Claim To The Hall Of Fame

One of the first riders Corey Nakatani befriended when he joined the Southern California jockey colony as a teenaged apprentice in 1988 was Fernando Toro, who was beginning to contemplate retirement from a career that began in 1956 and saw him win riding championships in his native Chile and a multitude of big races in North America, including the inaugural Breeders' Cup Mile in 1984 aboard Royal Heroine.

So when Nakatani learned he was going to be inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame alongside his old friend Toro, he said he felt “very, very blessed to be going in with him … it was overdue.”

Toro wasn't the only present or future Hall of Famer Nakatani competed against in Southern California when he broke in. There was Bill Shoemaker, Laffit Pincay, Chris McCarron, Eddie Delahoussaye, Sandy Hawley, Gary Stevens, and Alex Solis. And he more than held his own over the years, winning 3,909 races, 341 graded stakes (119 of them Grade 1), and 10 Breeders' Cup races.

In this week's Friday Show, Nakatani, 52, reflects back on his years in the saddle, including an unlikely story of how it all started, and on what being elected to the Hall of Fame means to him and to his family, including son Matt, who served as his agent at the end of his career.
