You may have noticed in passing the news that Britain’s Ebbsfleet Valley was seeking a major artwork to rival the Angel of the North in Gateshead, and that a giant white horse has been chosen as the preferred design. While this horse will be a sculpture, rather than a chalk horse of the type preferred […]

While on paper this past weekend’s three-year-old races look like perfect examples of budding stars beating up on lesser competition, all three of those winning favorites (or near-favorites) got to face a little adversity – not a bad thing at this point in their respective careers. Stardom Bound ran her usual come-from-behind race (demonstrating she […] There are, indeed, many things to like about ‘Jockeys‘ – the high-definition is fantastic, the action shots are great and the show has been very well-edited to keep the storylines (so far) tight and the pace steady. It even passed the test for Casa Superfecta’s courtesy race fan (who really doesn’t know/care much about jockeys/trainers/etc.) […] Tonight, ‘Jockeys‘ premieres on Animal Planet and I’m curious to see how the show turns out (since I am not cool enough anymore to get an advance copy – it does make me miss my Women.com Entertainment days, when I got previews and press kits for everything, even if I did usually just stick them […] The longshot winner of the Holy Bull, Saratoga Sinner, is injured and off the Derby trail, so that’s one less to consider for now; all eyes will shift to California (with a brief flick in Louisiana’ direction) this weekend as Derby bandwagons start to take on passengers. There are already a few on board with […] Last weekend’s racing may have produced more questions that answers; Albertus Maximus (pictured) was a worthy winner of the Donn (although Einstein overcame a terrible post position and a rough trip to hang on for third on his less-than-favorite surface, so at least he picked up a check) and is off to Dubai for the […] This weekend’s highlight for me is Einstein’s 2009 debut in the Donn Handicap; trainer Helen Pitts-Blasi warns that Gulfstream’s track is not his favorite dirt surface, but I think it’s great they are giving him a challenge, rather than going for the three-peat in the Gulfstream Park Turf. (Obviously adding that G1 victory to his […] I didn’t actually watch the Eclipse Awards myself, since Monday night is sacrosanct – House and How I Met Your Mother both take precedence, even on TiVo. But it sounds like I didn’t miss much: Curlin repeated as Horse of the Year, all the expected names won in their respective categories (although I would argue […] Back in the day, the Sunshine Millions used to be on national television – now you’ll have to dig for it on HRTV/TVG. And good luck searching for it online – the first few hits are all about last year’s installment (so well done, Magna). It’s a shame the annual California vs. Florida grudge match […] |
