While Superfecta loathes driving in the Bay Area, it must be said that at least the cool weather there was pleasant; it’s too hot back here to race at Delaware Park today. As it’s already been mentioned by everyone else, I’ll just point out that I was right about Any Given Saturday in the Haskell […]

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). […] It’s almost Saratoga time and the rumors swirl — will The Green Monkey debut? Is something wrong with Rags to Riches? (and no, I don’t have any inside information on that one). Will Sun King finally score a grade I victory? Steve Haskin makes his case, and it is a compelling one: Perhaps the most […] Well, David Beckham is officially here. He limped around on the field briefly (maybe a shot of cobra venom would help a bit) but in general the Galaxy played their usual game that’s gotten them second-from-bottom in the standings. As a former San Jose Earthquakes fan, I was pleased to see Joe Cannon make some […] Naturally, the launch of the Rags to Riches ‘blog’ has been the subject of much chatter around the TBA. Most of us had similar thoughts, which can be boiled down to 1) it’s not really a blog and 2) it’s not saying anything you can’t find elsewhere. I’ll give the NTRA points for providing the […] While it may seem to the rest of the world that racing disappears in between the Belmont and the Breeders’ Cup (they do know about the Breeders’ Cup, right?), there’s plenty going on this weekend. The Stephen Foster features Master Command (pictured) and Magna Graduate from Pletcher’s barn. The race might include a rabbit for […] Or, a more coherent summing up of Belmont day. Rags to Riches demonstrated the essence of great horse racing yesterday; class, heart, grit, determination and some arrogance thrown in. Her stumble at the start and her wide trip were more than enough to quiet most hardcore Curlin supporters who realized those elements far outweighed her […] WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Did I mention I have the exacata, trifecta and superfecta, paltry though they may be? Did you see how wide she was the whole race? Take that, Curlin!Edit: Actually, they are not bad payouts at all. Drinks are on me! May I suggest the Rogue Morimoto Hazelnut? I’ve decided this has moved well ahead […] It’s the Friday before the Belmont, so without further ado, the official, rather opinionated, Superfecta Belmont Field Notes: 1) Imawildandcrazyguy – Obviously he has a lot more going for him than I predicted prior to the Derby, but I don’t see the distance as doing him any favors. 2) Tiago – He seems more naturally […] Saturday should be a great day of racing – not only will we be treated to Rags to Riches taking on Curlin, but we have a fantastic undercard to enjoy. Here are my thoughts on the (other) big races on the day — and don’t forget to tune in to CBS News tonight to see […] |
