Crown of Thorns is off the trail with a shin injury (which makes me feel terribly prescient for not having added him to my Road to the Roses stable) but there will be plenty to watch in the Fountain of Youth this weekend. Anak Nakal and Court Vision are the two I am most interested […]

Word is in that Santa Anita will be entirely replacing its ill-fated Cushion Track surface after they squeak by to the end of this season: “No one is aware more than I am that we will have the Breeders’ Cup here two years in a row,” said [Santa Anita president Ron] Charles. “We […] While Curlin settles into a routine in Dubai, the legal wranglings continue; there is now a continuance until March 21st, mostly because of this: [plaintiffs’ attorney Angela] Ford has repeatedly alleged that Gallion and Cunningham have subverted the legal system by hiding or sheltering assets. But Mary Meade-McKenzie and Andre Regard, attorneys for Gallion and […] Turf War, with Calvin Borel aboard, did nothing in the Southwest (which is finally a G3), while the much-hyped Denis of Cork (left, previously ridden by Mr. Borel) romped to victory. In only his third career start, the horse whose name sounds a bit like an Irish theme pub managed to face a bit of […] The news is in that Winning Colors was put down yesterday (on my birthday, no less). The great mare was responsible for my first correct Derby prediction (and, it should be noted, last correct Derby prediction until Smarty Jones) — quite possibly the only time I’ve ever rooted for D.

Cowboy Cal is sticking to turf for the time being in […] If your measure is the percentage of offspring who are stakes winners, you can’t say that War Emblem has been a total failure at stud… Pyro’s victory in the Risen Star was impressive to watch; he certainly made his way through traffic well and seemed professional in handling a bit of adversity. However, his time at the distance was a second slower than that of Indian Blessing in the Silverbulletday, and there is no talk of her switching to the […] Ouija Board is doing well after giving birth to a Kingmambo colt at Stanley House Stud; Ed Dunlop’s web site will be posting more details shortly. She is scheduled for a visit with Monsun (sire of champion Manduro and Breeders’ Cup Turf winner Shirocco, among many others) in about three weeks — not a bad […] With the news that Curlin is skipping this weekend’s events in Louisiana to head over to Dubai early (more on that later), Grasshopper has stepped up to contest the Mineshaft in his absence; Better Than Bonds will also be making an appearance in that race. Most eyes will be on the three-year-olds, though, in the […] |
