Based on dosage and adjusted 12F times, my top four would be: Revolutionary, Golden Soul, Orb Unlimited Budget. I'd throw Oxbow and Palice Malice in the mix, too.

  • On The Gallop's · I just want to touch on Lammtarra once more. This Colt wins the Epsom Derby in record time, The KG/QEII after giving up the lead coming to the wire only to battle back to win, and then goes to the Arc and beats some quality horses to win the Arc and leaving Swain 3 lengths behind him. I wish I could visit him at Dalham Hall Stud but don't have the time to go down. This is an extremely light raced horse, but his brilliance was to valuable to the Maktoum family to continue racing him. Phenominal 3 year old, and only recently did we see a 3 year old exceed what he did, and that is Sea The Stars. · 34 minutes ago ·

I beleive pletcher is gonna enter a rabbit in the belmont stakes cause I see no speed to contend with oxbow. And if Oxbow goes three quaters in 1:14 or slower he will be very tought to beat in his high crusing altitude

  • Dressage3295 · I don't think he wants it either cocoa. However, with how slow the Belmont has been in the last few years with a lack of stamina, it would not be surprising to see Oxbow in the top three · 1 day ago ·

  • ILuvTurfRacing · Frankly, I'm a bit surprised Aidan O'Brien has decided to drop Magician back in trip to a mile after just running out such an emphatic winner of the G3 Dee Stakes at Chester over 10-1/2f recently. To me Magician looked more like a horse who'd thrive for the step up in trip to 12f next weekend at Epsom in the Derby more than he'll appreciate going back down in trip. He's very talented, but I think a mile might prove to be too sharp. My picks: 1st-Gale Force Ten(He just ran a corker in the G1 French 2000 Guineas, 1 of 4 horses who all hit the wire right together in that race), 2nd-Fort Knox 3rd-Magician 4th-First Cornerstone, that would be my super-fecta for the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas. · 57 minutes ago ·

  • Southern.Humor · I think it is still way to early to tell. I love the fact that every one points to this crop and says their a bunch of slugs, and then turn right around and compare them to some other years crop as proof- when fact remains that we know the out come of all the 'best' foals from the previous years. At this point in any other year NOBODY knew who would be the best by the end of the year. There are still so many races , and so much left to prove. · 1 hour ago ·

This just out via the European racing media: Sheikh Mohammed has just issued a decree banning the use of anabolic steroids in the United Arab Emirates, specifically Dubai. In the past horses not in training in the UAE had been permited to be administered anabolic steroids according to the article, but Sheikh Mohammed has now said anyone caught buying, selling, or using anabolic steroids for any purpose relating thoroughbred racing now in the UAE will be in violation of the new law. Considering he's head of the royal family in the UAE and the absolute ruler of Dubai, I'd imagine the decree will carry a lot of weight.
Allow me to pose this question: If you could be a jockey and go back and ride any horse in any race, who would it be?

  • Buckpasser · Airedale2008. I think the problem was in the forties, there issues of parimutuel wagering that had many of the breeders sell off some of their horses. I know Bradley sold Busher to LB Mayer in this period. I believe it was in KY and affected the breeding. It was not as drastic as what happened in the 1900s whe tracks closed because betting was banned. I'll look it up for the exact reason. · 1 hour ago ·
