The Lane’s End is this weekend, but before we move on to that, I must first continue to glory in last night’s Major League Soccer season opener, in which the brand-new Seattle Sounders spanked the boys of Red Bull – it was a beautiful thing. It does make me wish we’d scheduled our trip for […]

Spring House took the San Luis Obispo for the second time over the weekend (I keep saying he’s under-rated) and while it’s fair to point out that heavy hitters Artiste Royal and Champs Elysees both scratched, his solid victory was nothing to sniff at. British invader Zambezi Sun didn’t seem to love Santa Anita, but […] It’s not a big weekend for the 3-year-olds, but the older horses have plenty going on in California. Champs Elysees is still in the game and he’s taking on his nephew (insofar as we can pretend these terms apply in horse breeding) Zambezi Sun in the San Luis Obispo. In case you’re wondering how that […] You may have noticed in passing the news that Britain’s Ebbsfleet Valley was seeking a major artwork to rival the Angel of the North in Gateshead, and that a giant white horse has been chosen as the preferred design. While this horse will be a sculpture, rather than a chalk horse of the type preferred […] There are, indeed, many things to like about ‘Jockeys‘ – the high-definition is fantastic, the action shots are great and the show has been very well-edited to keep the storylines (so far) tight and the pace steady. It even passed the test for Casa Superfecta’s courtesy race fan (who really doesn’t know/care much about jockeys/trainers/etc.) […] Tonight, ‘Jockeys‘ premieres on Animal Planet and I’m curious to see how the show turns out (since I am not cool enough anymore to get an advance copy – it does make me miss my Women.com Entertainment days, when I got previews and press kits for everything, even if I did usually just stick them […] The longshot winner of the Holy Bull, Saratoga Sinner, is injured and off the Derby trail, so that’s one less to consider for now; all eyes will shift to California (with a brief flick in Louisiana’ direction) this weekend as Derby bandwagons start to take on passengers. There are already a few on board with […] Back in the day, the Sunshine Millions used to be on national television – now you’ll have to dig for it on HRTV/TVG. And good luck searching for it online – the first few hits are all about last year’s installment (so well done, Magna). It’s a shame the annual California vs. Florida grudge match […] …and everyone retires. It was nice knowing you, Raven’s Pass. It’s a shame poor Sheik Mohammed didn’t have the deep pockets to keep him in training, but jockey Jimmy Fortune was able to give the horse a diplomatic send-off to Kildangan Stud: “I still don’t think we had seen the best of him but (in […] Things are rather busy at Casa Superfecta, what with celebrating the national election results (while, as a former Californian, being horrified by the Prop 8 madness) and preparing to head to a conference in DC. As a result, rather than working up some sort of elaborate and entirely nonsensical theory about how Eclipse Award voting […] |
