It’s Del Cap weekend at Delaware Park, and while the main event looks to be another win for Fleet Indian (at least on paper), I think La Reason and Friel’s For Real will be up there as well. After the shockers in today’s sprint races, though, you can never really tell — Nightmare Affair taking […]

Barbaro is ‘doing much better‘ today; there is some video here from the New Bolton Center. He is officially termed ‘stable‘ which is certainly good news, given the very downbeat reports yesterday. While today’s news is good, Barbaro is still a long way from the great shape he was in two weeks ago, and the […] In addition to the infection in his pastern, Barbaro has undergone a hoof wall resection in his ‘good’ leg to address the severe laminitis that has developed — nearly 80% of the hoof had to be removed. He is in a sling part of the day to help alleviate some of the weight on the […] Superfecta is back from her family emergency and normal updates will now resume. It has been a busy news week; obviously Barbaro’s condition is the biggest worry right now. The Washington Post details the latest surgery and the problems in the other hind leg; the NY Times covers much the same territory, but with some […] Although Barbaro’s cast change went well on Monday (articles here and here) and his x-rays look great, it seemed he was a bit uncomfortable with the new cast and so it was replaced again. The good news is that there was no obvious reason for his discomfort, so fingers crossed it’s just one of those […] Our rundown of the weekend’s events was a bit delayed thanks to yesterday’s short-but-powerful storm which knocked out our television, internet connection and commuter line until a good 24 hours after the event. I’m sure I had a number of witty and/or clever comments which have since left my brain, so here are the remainders: […] Brass Hat’s DQ was upheld by the Emirates Racing Authority; while it’s not an unexpected outcome, it is disappointing since he truly deserved his second place finish and the resulting purse. Stateside, trainer Steve Asmussen’s suspension for ‘medication infractions’ was similarly upheld in Louisiana. While the types of drugs in question are quite different in […] Well done to Showing Up for his fantastic effort in the Colonial Turf Cup! It was a very impressive race; insane fractions were set by longshot Kip Deville who was something approaching 15 lengths in front at some points and who hung on for a strong second. Not only was the victory notable for the […] There’s a nice article on the Jacksons and their hopes for Showing Up in today’s Colonial Turf Cup in the Washington Post today which includes some very upbeat (perhaps unexpectedly so, based on his reputation) comments about him from Barclay Tagg as well as his thoughts on Barbaro’s injury and recovery. The other recent Barbaro […] Ouija Board did a fantastic job in the Prince of Wales Stakes at Ascot today — she didn’t just beat the boys, she beat Electrocutionist, winner of the Dubai World Cup (as well as favorite David Junior). Soviet Song also put in a good effort to win the Windsor Forest Stakes — there’s a nice […] |
