Some Good News, Some Not So Good

Apologies for the lack of updates this week; I’m about to start a new job and so it’s been a bit hectic.

I’ve been looking for more details on Afleet Alex’s hernia surgery — it sounds as though all went well, but I am curious to know if this was a known issue or […]

Why Does The Blood-Horse Hate Kenny Mayne?

Although my most recent issue of The Blood-Horse finally has a letter defending Kenny Mayne, I have to wonder who at the publication has it in for him.

The Woodward

The Woodward is shaping up to be a good race on paper, although it could certainly be quite a washout if Ernesto has anything to say about it. If Flower Alley is back to his usual self, he should be tough to beat, although the same might be said of Sun King. Funny Cide will […]
