He’s Got Rhythm

Nobiz Like Shobiz looked all business in his Wood Memorial victory; the blinkers did indeed seem to be a big help to him and he finished the race well. Any Given Saturday looked a bit tired, but very game in his third-place finish and Phipps homebred Sightseeing looked very impressive in second (although trainer Shug […]

Breeders’ Cup Wrap-Up

While I can’t recommend it for the production values (think OTB video feed and a camcorder from 1986), it was actually fairly substantive. They discussed the fact that owner Rick Porter has parted ways with trainer […]
