Ask Ray: Where Did The Comments Sections Go?

As publisher Ray Paulick said in the introduction to this latest installment of “Ask Ray,” it's been a while. But the Paulick Report is in the process of deciding whether or not to permanently remove the comments section from the website, and Ray wanted to explain the reasons for the possible change after receiving a number of inquiries. Comments have been disabled … for now at least.

And since he got out of his pajamas, shaved and made himself somewhat presentable, he decided to dip into the “Ask Ray” mailbag and answer a few other questions from readers.

Ray tries to respond to all the emails and “Ask Ray” inquiries he receives. so if you don't hear from him immediately, you can probably assume he's forgotten, or your query is pushed too far down into his inbox. Don't be afraid to remind him again. And again if necessary.

In The Stud Presented By Kentucky Equine Research: Always Dreaming, First Weanlings Of 2020

Winning the Kentucky Derby is the kind of accomplishment that speaks for itself on a stallion's resume, but WinStar Farm's Always Dreaming has plenty else to say with his record.

On this week's episode of In The Stud, we speak with WinStar's Liam O'Rourke about the 2017 Derby winner whose first foals are weanlings of 2020, and we cover the influences that shine through from the top and bottom of the stallion's page.

A 6-year-old son of Bodemeister, Always Dreaming gained notoriety on the Triple Crown trail with a five-length victory in the Grade 1 Florida Derby. That effort sent him off as the favorite in the Kentucky Derby, where he drew clear to prevail by 2 3/4 lengths. He retired with four wins in 11 starts for earnings of $2,415,860.

Always Dreaming is out of the Grade 3-winning In Excess mare Above Perfection, making him a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Hot Dixie Chick and Grade 2 winner Positive Spirit.

The In The Stud video series, put together by our friends at EquiSport Photos, features up-and-coming names in the stallion ranks, with a focus on those whose first foals are weanlings of 2020. Paulick Report bloodstock editor Joe Nevills interviews farm staff about the stallion's appealing qualities and what mares might work best with them, while giving viewers and potential breeders a chance to see the stallion on the walk and on the racetrack.

On this edition of In The Stud, we venture out to Darby Dan Farm to speak with Ryan Norton about the 6-year-old son of Jersey Town who gained national recognition when he won the Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap.

Bee Jersey won five of 10 starts during his on-track career for earnings of $976,293. In addition to his Met Mile score, Bee Jersey picked up a win in the G3 Steve Sexton Mile Stakes, and he traveled across the world to finish second behind the mighty Thunder Snow in the G3 U.A.E. Two Thousand Guineas.

A number of stallions can be found in Bee Jersey's extended family, including A.P. Indy, Summer Squall, Lemon Drop Kid, and Duke of Marmalade.
