Things are changing for Robert Cowell. Long gone is the old office at the back of the yard which barely had a path leading to it. Success has led to the production of a new, glamorous office with desk space for all - there's even an area to freely consume caffeinated beverages nowadays.Read More

Off at odds of 15-1, many were speechless when Oxbow won Preakness 138. What a fluke! What a horrible race! Why was it so horrible? Because horseplayers didn’t see it coming due to being blinded by Orb's so-called brilliance. Read More

  • Mary Z. · IHATC, He can certainly answer for himself, but just so you don't have to wait for a late-night haunting, no ; Sully is not Sullivan, but Sullivan is Cocoa. Not an alias of Cocoa's , he explained that he couldn't log in under Cocoa on occasion. The only other username fir me, here, is when part of my e-mail address comes up. · 22 hours ago ·

I've been looking for a video of a performance of FOURSTARDAVE from maybe 1992, 3 or 4, where he went down on one knee, got up and won, then DQ'd.
  • CauseForConcern · I couldn't locate the video, but, the race I found that Fourstardave was DQ'd from 1st to 5th, was the West Point Handicap on 8/26/93. Maybe someone else has better resources. · 1 hour ago ·

  • travel_vic · your interpretation of the game changes dramatically when you become part of it. You have to be proactive about it too.

  • tmallios1 · at least you referenced both sides.but remember vic.i was once told by a wise old man. he said "butterfly, be cautious of always wanting to be on the inside.most people are nice.a couple are snobs.remain on the outside until you have concluded your findings.then when comfortable you can go inside.just avoid the obstacles you witnessed during your time on the outside.tell me vic.did you ever run into this wild and wise old man in your many experiences on the inside that you chirp about on a daily basis.oh well vic,i will pick up later,on my way to belmont.have a few friends on the inside who are running horses today.i will at least lend my moral support. · 1 hour ago ·
