“Galerio is a very special horse to me,” Ashley Nelson said. “I galloped and groomed him as a coming 2-year-old.” Nelson groomed and rode him until he was claimed during a race in November of 2019. She had had a special bond with the horse and one day hoped to retire him.

This week, TV and streaming coverage of horse racing expands to an international scale, as NBC Sports will stream races all five days of the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting in England starting Tuesday, June 17, and ending Saturday, June 21, providing television coverage of the event on the final day as well.

As we head into one of the most exciting times of the year for sports fans, this summer brings with it some of the most heated rivalries we've seen in recent years. From tennis to the NBA to the world of horse racing, these are some of the head-to-head matchups that are simmering with the intensity of an egg frying on a Miami sidewalk. 

Last weekend, a national TV audience witnessed a sensational 157th edition of the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets that saw Sovereignty secure a clear position as the best 3-year-old in training with a dominant three-length victory.

In my experience with young horses it seems like when they have a first show experience as good as the one Maverick and I had, it really helps some light bulbs go on for them. Maverick has definitely followed suit in the weeks since my last update here.
