Good news: I’ve got Breeders’ Cup tickets. Bad news: They are possibly the worst reserved seats available, way over in section 400 (on the turn after the wire) — not exactly near the top of my preferences list. Granted, it’s a small track and I’m sure I should just be happy to have them, but […]

It’s Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot — please take notes, Breeders’ Cup Board! You know you want to make Breeders’ Cup Friday a Ladies’ Day — I’d be more than happy to consult… In other news, get well soon, Cockney Rebel — Gallic overcame his broken pelvis just fine! […] Equidaily brings up the gender issue as well this week (and the TBA’s own Jen Morrison was invited to weigh in) — they ask whether the horse racing fan-base is male-dominated and what should be done about it. While it may be true that there are more male racing fans than female ones in the […] Hard Spun faces off against Teuflesberg on the 13th in the Lecomte Stakes in his first foray outside the local area. In my opinion they are an intriguing matchup: three-year-olds who happen to be approaching this race from opposite ends of the spectrum — Hard Spun has never had to work too hard in a […] The good news is that it sounds as though Fleet Indian is doing quite well under the circumstances — but owner Paul Saylor voices what I had been wondering as well, which is why it took so long for an ambulance to arrive for her.

JuvenileWell, it was […] Breeders’ Cup morning is cold and clear here in Philly (and that’s what matters, isn’t it?) and here are my pre-race stats: Total Investment: $70Longest Shots Bet: Gatorize, Adrhythm, U D Ghetto, Malt Magic, My Typhoon, Lewis Michael, Sharp Lisa, Flower AlleyPick Sixes: 1 (very chalky)Pick Threes: 1 (slightly more diverse)Trifectas: a fewSuperfectas: None – […] The European perspective seems a bit glum in some quarters; in others, they are simply surprised that George Washington is not being seen as a conquering hero by the Americans. Here in the States, there is comparatively little Bernardini-centered coverage compared with a number of European articles focusing on star horses; one of the few […] So, Discreet Cat is officially entered in the Classic. But only technically, you see — there’s no plan to actually run him against his powerhouse stablemate, Bernardini; he’s just here in case Bernardini suddenly comes up sick or injured.
