Is Gio Ponti still on Dubai time? First, the bad news – last year’s Belmont champ Summer Bird has been retired. Â It’s particularly unfortunate, as he seemed to be coming into his own toward the end of last season, just before the injury. Â Given the economy and the timing of his retirement […] Quality Road breaks his own record With Santa Anita’s card rained out over the weekend, the 3-year-olds in New York received a bit more of the spotlight than they might have under normal circumstances – and normal circumstances were certainly not the order of the day there, either. What should have been a reasonably […] Last night, they handed out a few awards for horse racing – you may have heard a bit about it. 2-year-old male: Lookin at LuckyAs per usual with the juvenile awards, there was no surprise here. His three G1 wins sealed the deal, and he looks to improve this year. We’ll soon find out if […] While Zenyatta’s historic win in the Classic seems to eclipse the rest of the two-day event, there were many other interesting storylines – each race stood out in its own way this year. MarathonWhat a fascinating result – nine-year-old Cloudy’s Knight very nearly got there to be the oldest Breeders’ Cup winner on record (and […] #, Horse, Trainer, Jockey, ML odds 1 Mine That Bird, Chip Woolley, C.

In the meantime, here are a few quick thoughts — Zenyatta’s first preference is the Classic – huzzah!
