What a hell of a Father’s Day. My beautiful daughter Ava Sahar Carothers was born last nite at 8:16 PM Pacific, and weighed in at a solid 6 pounds 13 ounces. I am a very lucky man. And by the way, my beautiful Wife is an absolute Rock Star.

- Frankie Dettori with the legendary Ava Carothers. In all seriousness, what a cool picture.
- Today my little girl turns 18. It’s a celebratory day with lots of emotions attached. She’s as kind a person as you will ever meet, with a future that includes playing D1 soccer in a few months. What she’s meant to me over the years in undefinable. Happy birthday Sophia. Love Dad
- I’ve probably done as many shows with Rich as anyone over the last decade, and it’s always enjoyable. I probably shouldn’t write this, but he would be my #1 choice if asked whose picks I would bet blindly. You are a really good friend and a great guy, and totally irreplaceable.
00:00 - 90% of the time I put my money where my mouth is. Hopefully, this will get me the edge in the cage match, @HawthorneJim.
- Happy Birthday to the network I’ve called “home” for 26 years. It’s been an honor to have been there for Day 1 of TVG, and to be joining you on @FanDuel_Racing tonight, starting at 5:30pmET along with @LosPonies.
00:00 - I have been at @TVG from day 1, and over the 20 years we have never been at @fairgroundsnola for live racing. That changes this week. Haven’t been for a live race since I was a senior at @Tulane in 91. Guessing I was there with my boy @brylew123. Can’t wait for Friday.
- My precious little Ava Sahar Carothers was born on this day 1 year ago. She has been absolutely amazing, and has given so much joy to me and her incredible mom @RenCarothers. Happy Birthday, beautiful. And yes, I am a doctor when I’m not picking horses.
- Want to wish my amazing Wife @RenCarothers a very happy birthday. Your’e the absolute best, I love you so very much and am very proud of you, and to be your husband. Putting up with me isn’t easy, but you are able to do that, excel in your own career and be an amazing Mom. ❤️
- Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Just had a lovely brunch with my beautiful wife, who is due in about 6 weeks.
- The last 6 weeks have gone by very slowly, but the last 6 years have flown by. Happy Anniversay to my beautiful wife @RenCarothers. I love you so very much.
- Happy Birthday to my beautiful, sweet, and ultra talented wife @RenCarothers. You mean everything to me and I love you so very much. I promise that next year I will take you out for both breakfast and dinner.
- Happy Anniversary to my amazing, do everything Wife @RenCarothers. 7 years, and I’m itching for more. I love you beyond words, and am really looking forward to a great 2021 and beyond. Derby week is crazy, but can’t wait for dinner and drinks with you tonight. ❤️👸🏻
- Yesterday my daughter was 1 of 700 to graduate from Redondo Beach HS. Today I’m back in the @TVG studios to talk great live racing with my dear friend @MrKenRudulphTV.
