LOUISVILLE, KY–MAY 13, 2025–This coming Wednesday marks the debut of a new StallioneSearch film that documents Greg Thompson's trip to this year's Kentucky Derby. The film explores the similarities and differences between the first Saturday in May and the Labor Day classic held on the mountain in Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, D.C.–MAY 12, 2025–On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced the suspension of live cattle, horse, and bison imports through U.S. ports of entry along the southern border due to the continued and rapid northward spread of New World Screwworm (NWS) in Mexico, effective immediately. NWS has been recently detected in remote farms with minimal cattle movement as far north as Oaxaca and Veracruz, about 700 miles away from the U.S. border.
The United States and Mexico continue efforts to interdict and eradicate NWS in Mexico and work in good faith. However, despite these efforts and the economic impact on both countries due to this action, there has been unacceptable northward advancement of NWS and additional action must be taken to slow the northern progression of this deadly parasitic fly.
As such, effective immediately, the USDA Animal ...

It was an excellent day for owner John Wilson of New Liskeard, trainer Scott Reid, and jockey Christian Benitez, who combined for two wins, a second, and a third on the afternoon, including a win by Sassies Best in the fastest of the two Open Derby Trials (see related story).
The final for the Open Derby is May 21, with ...
