I attended a screening of the HBO Barbaro documentary in the guise of representing my department at a school event (which is my excuse at any horse-related event). The crowd was large and included quite a wide spectrum – other Penn Vet folks, the main Barbaro players and families, some FOBs, the press and the […]

While the news about Street Sense going to Darley upon retirement was the talk of the weekend, I was a little surprised to see that he and Hard Spun were going to be stablemates there. Granted, the rumors that Hard Spun’s breeding rights had already been sold have been circulating for a while now, but […] Preakness week is here, but it certainly seems more subdued than last year for obvious reasons. Today’s Baltimore Sun recaps the chain of events that immediately followed Barbaro’s injury and the Chicago Sun-Times features an article noting that ‘Barbaro’s ghosts haunts Preakness.’ While Barbaro will clearly be on everyone’s mind come Saturday, the race that […] It’s very well-done, but it’s not particularly easy to watch as there is a crushing inevitability about it — particularly in the segment leading up to the Preakness. It was nice to be reminded about some facts prior to Barbaro’s injury that seem to get lost in the months following (like the fact that his […] The New York Times is in full pre-Derby mode with three feature stories (and more to come); one on Michael Matz and a nicely detailed piece on the road Nobiz Like Shobiz has followed to get to the Derby. It includes some interesting statistics which are probably not news to most hard-core racing fans, but […] There’s some press coverage of the Barbaro Celebration in the Philly papers today; some of the recent improvements to Delaware Park that will be on display opening weekend are covered here. There are still no official dropouts from the Derby field so far and Chelokee’s current chances of getting in are explained a bit more […] Note: Superfecta is guest-blogging over at Tim Woolley Racing for a few days and will be publishing her updates in both places. Superfecta here, deputizing for Alex; naturally much of the news this morning is on Barbaro’s newest full sibling, born yesterday morning at Mill Ridge Farm. There’s a picture of the new colt here […] Tim Woolley Racing has the scoop, as usual — the latest full sibling arrived in the early hours this morning. Thanks to La Ville Rouge for having the great timing to deliver before I start my guest-blogging gig! NBC has an article with a few updates on his yearling full brother, Nicanor: Born March […] The Tampa Bay Derby was certainly a great race; both Street Sense and Any Given Saturday showed a lot of determination. But did it take too much out of Street Sense? That’s certainly been the rumor going around, which seems to have been backed up somewhat by his trainer: We got tired, we got […] I’m looking forward to actually watching some horse racing on television this weekend; The Rebel and the Tampa Bay Derby should both be well worth watching. The San Felipe could be useful, but I’m a bit less excited about the entrants. Cobalt Blue is getting a lot of hype, but I haven’t seen much to […] |
