It’s the old warhorses headlining things this weekend (now that the injured Invasor will not be part of the Suburban picture); both Lava Man and The Tin Man are aiming for threepeats in their respective races. Lava Man is hoping to match Native Diver’s streak of Hollywood Gold Cup victories, and The Tin Man’s run […]

It seems there are some dark Scat Daddy rumors floating around out there; perhaps darker still are those swirling around Patrick Biancone. It’s not clear at this point what prompted the official inquiry: The Kentucky Horse Racing Authority has initiated an investigation after a search of the Keeneland barn of trainer Patrick Biancone. John […] Like my fellow TBA bloggers, I find the retirement of Scat Daddy over a minor injury just a little too convenient. I have to agree entirely with Valerie that I don’t see the sense in breeding to a horse who raced so briefly by a sire who also couldn’t hack it as a three-year-old. It’s […] It’s really a shame we won’t see more of Invasor on the track; it’s too bad to see him go out with an injury but at least he’s not in any danger. There were a few more details in some of the international press reports:

You know you want to make Breeders’ Cup Friday a Ladies’ Day — I’d be more than happy to consult… In other news, get well soon, Cockney Rebel — Gallic overcame his broken pelvis just fine! […] In case you actually wanted to see Miss Andretti’s win yesterday, here it is; it seems I may need to resort to YouTube for all my international racing needs: As expected, the Aussie contingent took Royal Ascot by storm yesterday, with Miss Andretti smashing the track record by two seconds in the King’s Stand Stakes, with her (male) compatriots finishing third and fourth in the race. Clearly, they are doing something right with turf sprinters in Australia — as the Antipodean sports press points […] Superfecta has been away tending to mending cats and wheezy toddlers, so there’s no real weekend roundup this week except to comment on the real toughness Chelokee displayed in the Northern Dancer — he looked like he was about to settle for second after Zanjero passed him, then he fought back to win. Nicely played. […] |
