Charles Cella, puppetmaster After a little sniping in the press (and a lot of sniping from fans online), the Rachel Alexandra–Zenyatta throwdown in the Apple Blossom is back on – but a week later than originally advertised. April 9th is now the big day, and while I would also prefer to see it on […] Have you seen this horse? Yesterday morning, G1-winning millionaire Thorn Song was dead. By the afternoon, he was miraculously alive. As for today – who can say? Let’s have a look at the chronology (as far as we know at this point): May 25, 2009 – Thorn Song wins the Shoemaker Mile for trainer […] 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 […] Quality Road While discussion continues apace over the possibility of a Zenyatta–Rachel Alexandra matchup at Oaklawn, some of their potential competitors in the older horse division are looking to burnish their credentials this weekend. Musket Man, who finished a reasonably creditable third behind Rachel Alexandra in the Preakness, will return in the Super Stakes […] Rachel Alexandra, at work last weekend – will she go to Arkansas? The rumored purse-bump for the Apple Blossom was announced today, and by all accounts, it seems to have come about the right way. Should Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta both appear at Oaklawn Park in the April 3rd race, there will be $5 […] Gabby's Golden Gal Perhaps the most exciting race of the previous weekend was the Santa Monica – somehow, Gabby’s Golden Gal went off at 11-1 odds. Granted, she did not show much in her final effort as a 3-year-old (and first race since a disappointing effort in July), finishing a distant seventh behind Evita […] FAIL. Remember when the Sunshine Millions was such a big deal that the series was shown on ESPN, and Magna could produce a working website for it? No? It was only a few short years ago, but in case you missed it, it was a fun idea: horses in California and Florida take […] Here at Superfecta HQ, we’ve been busily working away on our redesign; things are finally (more or less) done – we hope you enjoy the new look and feel. If you had any individual posts bookmarked, many will forward to the new site, but a few will get stuck partway through – just hit the […] There’s local interest in this weekend’s Derby preps (and yes, we’re officially at that point where just about any race for 3-year-olds can be called a Derby prep) thanks to a horse owned by Rick Porter and trained by Tony Dutrow (aka ‘the Dutrow we like’). Winslow Homer is running in the Holy Bull […] |
