About a dozen years ago my daughter Claire Collins Dunham asked me to run a half marathon with her, and I did. Hadn't done so in quite a long time. Now, 12 years later she and I will run the Wine Glass half marathon (Corning, NY) on Sunday, Oct. 5. After 60 years of racing, this is it for me. ...I'll keep running but no more racing, if you can call it that still. See you on the road.

Bona Stables Beautiful Thief takes on winners in the 4th race at the Big A on Thursday, a 6F turf sprint. Top Beyer figure in the race. She’ll be tough as long as race stays on the turf. Here, grandson’s cheer on her maiden win at Saratoga last summer.

3YO New York bred filly Beautiful Thief stormed down the Saratoga stretch in Saturday's 12th race for an impressive victory in the $90,000 maiden run at 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf.

This was her second career run and her prior race experience was evident. Beautiful Thief broke smartly ...from the 5 post in a field of 10 runners and Javier Castellano deftly guided her down along the rail. She was challenged immediately so Castellano allowed others to set the pace. At the half mile mark Castellano guided her out into the three path, waited until the quarter pole and she professionally worked her way past the leaders for the impressive win by 1 1/2 length widening lead over the finish line.
