What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

Saturday's G2 Temple Stakes at Haydock should tell us alot about how Reckless Abandon will fare at Ascot in the G1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes and/or the G1 King's Stand Stakes next month during the royal meeting. Reckless Abandon puts his unbeaten record on the line at Haydock against older horses for the first time, some of them proven G1 sprinters like Tangerine Trees, Sole Power, & Maarek.
  • paul.nathan.946 · 3yr old sprinters don't fare well against the olders especially when they have a 4lb penalty. Sole power is the best sprinter in europe on firm ground hes got all he needs today i would expect and hope he wins. · 13 seconds ago ·

lisa. knowing what a true vyjack fan you are and have been.trust me ,you will see him in the near future.
Thinkin' Overanalyze might take it to complete the O Superfecta...Orb, Oxbow, ? Maybe it's just stupid superstition..
Someone wrote Orb ''deserves rest.'' Heck, these horses are so pampered and lightly-raced they need toughening up not more rest. Years ago when 3-year-olds raced much more frequently at 2 and 3 they remained healthy through their 4-and even 5-yeard old racing years.

  • tmallios1 · kay.1 other question.you mentioned the negatives.what happens if they ban lasix.most horses are bleeders.let me give you a horse.alysheba.his worst race among the triple crown was the belmont.back then lasix was outlawed in N.Y.,he ran big in kent,md. where lasix was allowed.he flopped in N.Y.then he came back and ran a great race in the haskell in N.J. a lasix state then.these horses put a lot of strain on themselves.the gentleman earlier wants them to run more.without the help of lasix and much more exertion.does not that increase the chances for a horse to bleed.is there any other preventive medicine for bleeders without that many negative side effects.if not ,then many of these champions we have seen throughout the years may never of even attempted racing. · 12 minutes ago ·

The field for this year's G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup ended up trimmed down markedly from what I had hoped it might be, but the prospect of seeing Camelot knocking heads with the highly progressive Al Kazeem on Sunday still holds quite a bit of appeal.

  • ILuvTurfRacing · @On The Gallop's, I believe Camelot will win the Tattersalls Gold Cup, but Al Kazeem hasn't gone down easily to anyone in his entire career yet, and it's certainly not as if he's been beating mugs himself. I think it's quite possibly Al Kazeem could make this a much more interesting race than many think he will. Both are going out on Sunday for the 2nd start of the season, and both already have a G3 win in their seasonal debut's. · 1 hour ago ·

ARBORVILLE won today. Lynn Whiting did it again!
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.

  • deirdre.boyne.9 · Sullivan, I agree. I have always thought Motion would click with Margano. Of course, Mr. Tagg did, but it seems to me that the Delacours can not bring out the spark that Mr. Tagg could. Motion just might be able to though. · 2 hours ago ·
