What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

I think Orb will win the race, I also think that Myluteand Will Take Charge will fight for 2nd and 3rd with Itsmyluckyday rounding out the superfecta......departing will not be in the mix at the end......
At 7, Ben's Cat is still as good as he ever was, taking the Jim McKay in near track record time.Read More

It has been forty years since the great Secretariat captured the Preakness. Forty years later, Orb looks to follow in his footsteps and take a step toward becoming racing's twelfth Triple Crown winner.Read More

  • Sully · And before you go off on some kind of tangent, although an anniversary is especially recognized on the same date every year, it's not necessary to have the same date. The Preakness recurs every year, albeit not on the same day, therefore it still fits one of the definitions of an anniversary event. Just saying. · 4 hours ago ·

In the 89th running of Black-Eyed Susan at Pimlico, it was Bob Baffert, and blinkers, and no more Beholder, as Fiftyshadesofhay got up to win by a neck.Read More

  • Sully · I'd like to know who in their right mind thought Fiftyshadesofhay would play the come from behind role with blinkers added? Especially when Baffert stated he added them because he wanted her to show more speed??? Joel just has the magic touch these days. Reminds me of Rodney Dickens. Really hope he stays out of trouble. · 4 hours ago ·

Hey, everyone. I had a wonderful time at the track today, watching the Black Eyed Susans card live. I was right near the finish line. The best part of the day was certainly watching my filly, Fiftyshadesofhay, win the Black Eyed Susans by a small margin. I had the 2nd place filly (what's the name?) in my super. Unfortunately, for me, Emollient is the only filly in by four horse Super box not to come in. It was a beautiful day today- nice, sunny and about 80 degrees. I didn't specifically like watching the racing through a glass, but I was right near the finish line. My two sons LOVED getting off of school. Funny story, they refused to wear pink... I finally told them: "Real men wear pink. And girls like guys who wear pink." :). The surface was pretty favorable to stalkers and off the pace types. As for betting standpoint, I finished at minus $21 (I believe that's the correct amount). I handicapped very well. In the final seven races, I had the winner 6 times. The one time was the Turf Sprint, I had Bridgetown, but my second horse Ben's Cat won the race. I handicapped very well, but I executed my bets very poorly. It was a really chalky day- I hope there are some payouts tomorrow. After the races, we went to the hotel and went swimming and stuff. Anyone ever been to the Baltimore Hilton? Very nice. Also watched part of the Rays-Orioles game from the hotel view. I'll stop blabbering about my day :). Fantastic day of racing tomorrow, I can't wait to see Optimizer, Zee Bros, Orb, etc. I won't be on (again) tomorrow. Enjoy the races, everyone. Good luck with any wagers :).

I like Orb in #1 just to see what he's made off!
Can I post my real,,,,
Looks like they figured out he was done with racing, tweeted by A.ZAYAT- "Time to retire jayctio. Every trains tell me the horse trains like a champ but he doent try in the afternoon"
is this horse still living? my friend owns a mare by Smile, named She Dares. her daughter is actually racing this weekend at Beulah. i'd like to know a little more about Smile.
I think Smile died some time ago '97 ish from a neurological problem?
