There is a great weekend of racing to look forward to – it’s a shame it’s going to be hidden away on HRTV and TVG. Check out today’s Green but Game for a fantastic open letter to the NTRA on this very topic; she is spot on!
Here’s what anyone […]

With the Triple Crown over, we can finally turn our attention back to the real deal – Curlin. Despite grumblings from trainer Steve Asmussen over the high weight he has been assigned (even though that weight is lower than what he carried in the Jaguar Trophy in Dubai), it seems all systems are go […] It’s not quite a Breeders’ Cup card, but there is a lot to like on the Belmont undercard. There are some interesting betting races but I am most looking forward to seeing some of my favorite horses in action. True North HandicapRick Dutrow’s other favorite on the card, Benny the Bull, is back from Dubai. […] Tomcito is apparently out of the Belmont with a ‘reaction‘ — no specifics were given on what might be going on there, but it would seem that the ranks are thinning for the race. Given the number of unpleasant things that have come out about Big Brown’s connections, it’s easy to slip into conspiracy theory […] Inspired by the latest TBA polls and by a post at TheRail about Spend a Buck, I realized I should be writing much more about his remarkable son, Einstein (pictured).

I’ve been poring over the DRF’s PPs for the Derby; I like the Moss Pace Figures version.

This year’s Arkansas Derby doesn’t have the star power of a Curlin or a Smarty Jones, but it does have some entrants going after graded earnings. Gayego (who has never run over conventional dirt) […] The big question from this past weekend is what to make of the Fountain of Youth results — do they really tell us anything at this point? Nick Zito’s Cool Coal Man won, but the timing of the race had to be adjusted after an outrider apparently tripped the teletimer, leading to what seemed like […] |
