At this point, people are beginning to tell you how to bet (ESPN is very big on Brother Derek and he is indeed a fine horse, but why not go for a little more value and bet Bernardini?) From north of the border, we have the first mention I’ve seen so far this year of […]

The post position draw was interesting; it should be a good race with Barbaro, Brother Derek and Sweetnorthernsaint all in a row. (It has no doubt been pointed out many times that the 6 is the ‘winningest’ post, most recently courtesy of Smarty Jones). Speaking of Smarty and thus Three Chimneys, their new commercial ‘from’ […] …but don’t worry, we don’t stray out of the Mid-Atlantic. Over the weekend Superfecta and family went to the Willowdale steeplechase and then to Delaware Park. While the only horse we had any vague knowledge of at Willowdale finished third in one of the maiden hurdle races, our luck was better at Delaware Park.We hurried […] Until the Preakness post position draw this afternoon gives everyone something substantive to talk about, today’s articles are a little more hit-and-miss. There’s a nice one in the Baltimore Sun on the many states with a claim to Barbaro. They also cover the ‘retirement at 3’ trend in fine style, noting how unusual it would […] In addition to the ever-increasing number of ‘invincible Barbaro’ Preakness issues, there is finally a ‘Barbaro will bounce’ article here, courtesy of Bob Neumeier. He uses a lot of ‘b’s — it’s a theme article, so it seems. While I understand that it’s a little early for Triple Crown hopes, I can’t quite fathom the […] As you might imagine, the press coverage this week is very Preakness-centric; the NY Times has an article outlining how Barbaro’s race schedule was planned. The Sports Network goes right for the Slew comparison and then has the current rundown of the probable Preakness field. MSNBC tells us that Barbaro had a nice 1 1/2 […] A few articles in the Merc: one on Barbaro’s training plans and another on his time at Fair Hill. This one from the Courier-Journal about the dams of Barbaro and Giacomo is a bit of a stretch for a story, but it’s always nice to see what the mares are up to. This article has […] 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 […] |
