Big Brown’s return in the Haskell continues to provide off-track drama; it seems none of his connections are on the same page about anything beyond the hope of a win. First, the choice of race still seems a sore point:
There’s even a subplot to the Haskell involving Dutrow’s relationship with […] The Ballydoyle juggernaut rolls on; Yeats cruised to victory in the Goodwood Cup (becoming a millionaire in the process — obviously, given the current exchange rate, he’s practically off the charts in dollars).
Former Horse of the Year Sergeant Cecil finished last in the race and, […] Sure, there were some horses running over the weekend, but their performances were somewhat overshadowed by the ongoing trainwreck that is the Big Brown Situation. In case you missed the hilarity on ABC when Michael Iavarone and Rick Dutrow directly contradicted each other in separate interviews, The Aspiring Horseplayer has helpfully put both videos up […] Superfecta is back from the shore and back to (almost) normal business, although this will still be something of an odd week. Curlin had his final work for his turf debut earlier; the Man O’ War is still the preferred option, and it seems that the details of his New York license will be worked […] IEAH made a much-publicized announcement yesterday, saying that they’ll be weaning their horses off the juice by October (more or less, and not counting Lasix — one suspects the list of things that ‘don’t count’ may grow).

Confused? Here’s what happened: Some months ago, Bolger had declared that New Approach (last year’s 2-year-old champion and part of the […] Casino Drive is headed back to Japan for the time being, but if all goes well he will be aiming squarely at the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Clearly, racing manager Nobutaka Tada has figured out how we roll around these parts: When asked if he feels like he’s been Americanized, Tada said, “Next time I come […] Thanks in no small part to our excellent seats in the shade, I had quite a nice Belmont day, which is presumably more than can be said for Big Brown. (I should note that thanks also go to Ventura, Zaftig, J Be K, Silver Edition and Dancing Forever for making our day fairly profitable). […] It’s not quite a Breeders’ Cup card, but there is a lot to like on the Belmont undercard.
