No, not that sort of fix. It’s an unfortunate fact that many top level race horses have brief careers. While it is something of a universal, I believe the problem is much worse in North America compared to the rest of the world. A random comparison of a few top horses in training (excluding geldings) […] There’s a tiny article in the Thoroughbred Times about it today — I realize there are probably many issues we don’t hear about and never will (we’ve all had jobs like that), but is anyone aware of some sort of major change in direction at The Blood-Horse? Sunday’s Pacific Classic (on ESPN2, in case your TiVo does not already have a horse racing season pass) will be the first run on Del Mar’s new Polytrack; while Lava Man is the headliner, he’s apparently not scaring anyone away. Much as I like him (and as great as it would be for him to […] While it’s a shame we won’t be seeing Better Talk Now this weekend in the Sword Dancer (which, really, should make it a walkover for English Channel if he’s in good form), we do have an exciting Arlington Million to look forward to. It’s hard not to root for The Tin Man (and I’m not […] It’s official — you still can’t name a racehorse Sally Hemings. From the Blood-Horse: Judge Alice Batchelder, writing for the three-judge panel, said Redmond has other options that may be approved by The Jockey Club, which forbids horse owners from using names of famous or notorious people without special permission. The club’s rules also say […] Here are a few more snippets from Our Woman in Saratoga (as well as her lovely photo of Street Sense before the Jim Dandy): Two upstate news sources (Albany Times-Union and The Saratogian) quote trainer Pat Kelly as saying that 9-year-old grey gelding Evening Attire will run in an allowance race later in the meet. […] Street Sense’s relatively easy win in the Jim Dandy seems to have been somewhat overshadowed by whether or not Lawyer Ron (pictured) broke the track record in the Whitney, with the pros and cons well summed up over at The Last Filly. The main argument seems to be that Lawyer Ron could not have possibly […] This weekend marks the (televised) beginning of the new Breeders’ Cup ‘Win and You’re In‘ format. That means the possible Classic, Distaff and Sprint entrants will be facing off in the Whitney, Go for Wand and Alfred G Vanderbilt; out of the three races, the Whitney seems the most likely to provide a longshot for […] The Sanford Stakes kicks off the big-name 2-year-old season in earnest; most are still fairly new to the game, as might be expected. There is a bit of buzz around Ready’s Image (trained by Todd Pletcher — no doubt a line you could easily insert for 80% of the horses running at the Saratoga meet). […] |
