I know many of us were unhappy about not being able to go to this year’s Breeders’ Cup, but it seems that a certain juror sitting on Ted Stevens’ corruption trial outdid us all: WASHINGTON (AP) — A juror who vanished during Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens’ corruption trial told the judge Monday she lied […] Yearling prices may be down overall, what with the world’s financial markets collapsing left and right, but at least a likely-looking grey Montjeu yearling still commanded $1.2 million for his lucky buyer, Benny Andersson (with a little help from Peter Doyle Bloodstock). The colt (hip 459, for those keeping score or looking for the video […] It’s been busy at work and I’m heading off to NYC tonight, which means this will be brief, but I will be thinking of All Things Horse; I’ve got tickets to a certain equine-themed play tomorrow night and there is nothing at all weird or sketchy about it. I’ve been a fan of Richard Griffiths […] 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 […] Champs Elysees finally got that elusive G1 win in the Northern Dancer last weekend, so he’s no longer a disappointment to his illustrious family — that’s six G1 winners so far for his dam, Hasili.

It seems at first glance that the early 1990s is when things start to get really […] 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 […] Some initial post position draw thoughts: 1) LeRoy Neiman and Todd Pletcher, together at last!2) The ‘homemade’ signs – how authentic!3) Nice to see Visionaire in post 8.4) Big Brown in 20 – no thanks.5) The wind! The wind hates the draw!6) I’m liking the middle of the pack a lot.7) Big Truck is a […] While perusing my local old-money magazine (everyone has one of those, right?), I came across on article on racing partnerships.
