MSNBC has gone Barbaro-crazy…although his sire, Dynaformer, is ‘haggard‘ it’s OK — he ‘has the right genes.’ We can tell because Barbaro ‘looks invincible‘ in the Preakness. Whew! Glad we got their approval for it. They do have a good article too, though — I presume this is the one that was not commissioned by/for […]

The Washington Post has their standard pre-Preakness article focusing on Barbaro, Brother Derek and Sweetnorthernsaint; it’s shaping up to be a tiny field so far. The local papers (you may have noticed I am PA this week) are covering life at Delaware Park and there is another nice article on Peter Brette; apparently everything is […] …although ‘it’ can mean a few things. First up: plagiarism, which NBC apparently had a little problem with during the Derby broadcast. Not quite on the Kaavya Viswanathan scale, but at least they admitted it. The other trend is having a rested horse — Sweetnorthernsaint and Brother Derek are following Barbaro’s lead and taking it […] Here’s a nice little article on Fair Hill and how Barbaro is enjoying life back at home before he starts revving up for the Preakness. In other news, Hemingway’s Key seems to be in, while Lawyer Ron is still undecided. Sharp Humor has a knee fracture, but it sounds like he’ll be OK. The Telegraph […] Barclay Tagg drops the S-bomb in reference to Barbaro…and Beyer uses the other s-word (“superstar”) although at least he considers it a bit early to be using it. Consider this, though, from his article: “The final quarter mile of this year’s Derby, 24.32 seconds, was the fastest since 1973 — the year of Secretariat. Barbaro’s […] The annual Triple Crown media storm has kicked off (you know, the one we didn’t have last year since it was clear Afleet Alex was the best horse) and as per usual I’m obsessively reading every new story as it comes along. A sampling of the verbiage, ranging from the almost-cautious to downright giddy: ESPN’s […] Woo hoo! That was such a great performance by Barbaro I don’t begrudge Bluegrass Cat getting up to ruin my trifecta (I had Barbaro – Brother Derek – Steppenwolfer and Barbaro – Lawyer Ron – Steppenwolfer). Hopefully after the Triple Crown, he’ll have a rest and turn up in the Breeders’ Cup Turf — that […] I have invested $11 this year in my wagering. I’ve picked a few longshots (well, they were longshots in the morning line but the odds seem to have shortened considerably) for fun, and some complicated exotics. My choices: BarbaroI really like Barbaro to win. He looks great, his works have been fantastic and I’m not […] As per usual, I picked the wrong longshot for the Oaks. Nice to see Mark Guidry get there, though; he always seems like a good jockey who is often overlooked — perhaps this means I should pay more attention to Sharp Humor. My other pick in this race was Red Cherries Spin who was doing […] ESPN is currently showing a little behind-the-scenes bit on their upcoming Ruffian film. Ruffian will be played by many geldings, apparently. While I will most likely watch this, I can’t help but wonder how they think it’s going to promote racing. Sure, it’ll be about courage and all the rest, but the ending is going […] |
