On the one hand, I can say that I totally called it; on the other, I didn’t actually bet Raven’s Pass on his own (despite talking him up and including him in all my exotics) so I am a huge loser. But not Raven’s Pass – he’s a winner! Enjoy, and I promise to […]

I had quite a lot noted down to mention this week, but work, childhood illness and missed race training meant that I never got around to them. As I’m off for the Dogfish Dash (and I will likely run at a snail’s pace thanks to the aforementioned missed training) as a prelude to an insane […] As Dana put it, the rumors are indeed true; a few of us horse racing blogger types (along with a number of other fine people affiliated with the racing industry) have been arguing working on the NTRA Marketing Task Force for the past few weeks. We’re not all going to Vegas (although as I understand […] The BBC asks whether racing is undergoing ‘a renaissance‘ with attendance at its highest since the second world war and two new tracks opening in the next two years. Great Leighs opened in Essex this Spring (the first new British racetrack in over 80 years) and features summer evening racing (over Polytrack – pictured); while […] A brief vacation check-in from the Delaware Shore…while I’m sure his nomination is just insurance in case the license issues cannot be worked out for the Man O’ War and/or heading to Arlington is out for some reason, I would be a happy camper indeed if Curlin were to show up in the Caesar Rodney […] For your convenience, we offer a bit of a metapost today, featuring some highlights from TBA blogs (but certainly not doing justice to all of them): Railbird is keeping track of this week’s drug issues (and Barry Irwin’s response) as well as Man of Iron’s debut (so far, he’s following in big sister […] When there’s a Triple Crown on the line, it’s not just a normal Saturday at Belmont; it’s a madhouse. Here’s how to make it bearable: 1) Reserved seats.

There are also a number of brain-hurtingly bad things that could have been easily avoided with just a quick glance at Google Maps which make someone like me with a bunch of otherwise useless degrees in drinking archaeology get rather […] While the Coolmore Lexington is the main event as far as the Derby trail goes, the Federico Tesio is also of interest (although perhaps more for those of us who look to see some of these horses turn up at Delaware Park or Philly Park later in the year). John Servis sends out Indian Jump […] As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Big Brown has been sold and will be heading to Epsom to train for the Derby there after winning the Derby here — no doubt the turf will be more comfortable for his sore feet. So, fare thee well, Big Brown, have a Badger Tanglefoot on me…we hardly […] |
