Thank You For The Montjeu

Yearling prices may be down overall, what with the world’s financial markets collapsing left and right, but at least a likely-looking grey Montjeu yearling still commanded $1.2 million for his lucky buyer, Benny Andersson (with a little help from Peter Doyle Bloodstock).

The colt (hip 459, for those keeping score or looking for the video […]

Who Says They Don’t Have Christmas in Kentucky? *

Given Our Flourishing Economy, it seems that every horse who has ever looked through a bridle is for sale. Need a budget stallion prospect? How about Great Hunter?

Or perhaps you are in the market for a good racemare who’s moved into the breeding game? Well, you’re in luck – there are loads!

Classic Considerations

We are at that peculiar point a few weeks out from the Breeders’ Cup where things get a bit odd, particularly with regard to the field for the Classic. Duke of Marmalade and Soldier of Fortune, both fresh from being crushed by Zarkava in the Arc, are still under consideration for the Ballydoyle folk, as […]

Arc Preview

Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe may well be the most talented group of horses to face off at any point this year. Just the showdown between Duke of Marmalade and Zarkava should be enough to get anyone excited about the race, but with Soldier of Fortune and Youmzain (last year’s runner-up behind Dylan Thomas) […]

Trad Arr Superfecta II

While Godolphin is not exactly having a banner year (for them), they did not have a bad weekend; Cocoa Beach’s upset of Ginger Punch in the Beldame may have garnered more headlines, but Tam Lin’s victory in the Kelso was equally interesting. The British-bred gelding seems to have taken to American turf racing quite well; […]
