June 1st, 2025
Stiglets ran an awesome race on June 1st at the iconic Churchill Downs! With Irad Ortiz Jr. in the irons, he put in a strong performance against a very tough field. The #1 horse, Hypnus from the McPeek barn, proved to be a monster and simply ran the better race that day. Stiglets looked poised for second but just tired in the final strides. Still, the entire Stiglets team is thrilled with his effort and the progress he’s showing. We’re fired up for his next race—look for him at Ellis Park in early July!

Stop the presses, stop the presses! This isn’t just a scoop, folks—this is big news. A
little birdie just told me that the fairytale return of Stiglets is officially happening on the hallowed grounds of none other
than Churchill Downs. Mark your calendars for June 1st. Stiglets will be entered in Race 6, a $127,000 Allowance Race. That’s
right—Stiglets is back, and he’s coming in hot. After weeks of training and rest, the comeback kid is ready to
show the world again what he’s made of. Let’s fill the stands and flood the track with love and support. Be there to witness history in the making.
4/19/2025 Stiglets Shines in Storybook Victory at Oaklawn Oaklawn was the scene of what can only be described as a storybook rebirth for Stiglets’ career. After being claimed in his last race, the talented colt needed time to reset and retrain. Following a brief respite, Stiglets was primed for his Hollywood moment. Adding to the drama, Robin of Rockin Robin Racing Stables and Eric Stiglets—whom the horse was named after—also descended on Oaklawn, creating a perfect storm of opportunity and excitement. Everyone knew Stiglets had the pedigree and the ability to win, but the question loomed: was this going to be his day? The race unfolded in cinematic fashion. Stiglets broke sharply, quickly getting into the top three. By the first turn, he had worked his way into a fierce duel with the heavy favorite. The two matched strides, neither willing to yield an inch, turning the race into a battle of wills. As they reached the stretch, a third contender loomed large and tried to make a late bid. But the pressure only fueled Stiglets' determination. Digging deep, he found another gear and surged forward, refusing to be caught. In the end, Stiglets crossed the wire in front—by a neck! The winner’s circle was electric—buzzing with disbelief, joy, and raw emotion.
This is just the beginning. Look out, Churchill Downs—Stiglets is coming!
It was an amazing ride by Ramon Vazquez and an incredible job over the last weeks by Philip D'Amato's team to get him ready and in top shape!

 Robin Hoffos and Eric Stiglets If you haven’t met Robin Hoffos, it’s hard to truly understand the force of nature that is his personality and the love he radiates to everyone around him. Imagine Santa Claus in a 145-pound frame—a man who genuinely enjoys life, but even more so, loves making everyone else around him feel special.
