Things might finally be moving forward in the ongoing Curlin ownership saga; while not confirmed, the word is that Jess Jackson should be able to pick up the remaining shares that are involved in the suit: It is believed that Stonestreet Stables has a first right of refusal on any sale of Tandy’s […] Rumored some weeks ago, it has now been confirmed that Showing Up (pictured) has been retired. It’s evident that Barclay Tagg, usually so sparing with words, will be sad to see him go:
“He’s perfectly sound,” Tagg said. “He had a couple of little problems with his hind suspensory, but he’s […] With most of the major preps out of the way, there’s just time for the Coolmore Lexington and gossip. Tomcito is the horse I’m watching (and I hope he finds Polytrack as much to his liking as the deep Peruvian tracks); I liked his third-place finish in the Florida Derby (especially after a long layoff) […] While I appreciated Cowboy Cal adding some points to my Road to the Roses stable, I’m not convinced his placing behind Monba (with Pyro finishing up the track) in the Blue Grass means much in terms of the Derby picture.

You may have wondered why Gary Stevens was sitting with these largely clueless people, why the coverage was so superficial and why there […] Big Brown may still be the favorite in the final Derby future pool, but he wasn’t a huge success at auction, going for $60,000 as a yearling and less than $200,000 as a two-year-old. Perhaps it runs in the family – his yearling half-sister by Horse Chestnut sold for $57,000 in September […] The world’s best three year old is…not Big Brown (gasp!) The latest World Thoroughbred Rankings have placed Australia’s Weekend Hussler at the top of his age group; his 122 point ranking (tying for 8th in the world overall) equals that of Hard Spun and world-beaters like Ramonta and Viva Pataca.
