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.

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.
Anyone else feel like this horse should be rested instead of being run in the Belmont? I dunno, I just feel those big legs of his need a rest....and being by Unbridled's Song I feel like caution should be taken with him?!

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. · 3 hours 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. · 5 hours 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.

Meet Kevin Kerstein 

Long story short, I took the long road getting involved in the industry. I did not get into horse racing until 2008 when I came to Louisville for college.

I'm originally from outside of Philadelphia and attend college at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky. Since I was 15 I was involved with working in radio and TV. I first covered horse racing at the 2011 Kentucky Derby and my passion just continues to grow. Let the early mornings begin and the Derby fever heat up as we hit the backside to get the exclusive stories leading up to the first Saturday in May.
