What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

Zayat Stable’s 3-year-old Eskendereya breezed an easy half-mile in 49 1/5 under jockey John Velazquez Sunday morning at Palm Meadows for trainer Todd Pletcher as he’s kept on edge for his likely next start as the favorite in the $750,000 Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream Park on Sat., Mar. 20. “I th...Read More
“And they’re off in the 2010 Kentucky Derby, and it’s Rule going for the lead, followed closely by Super Saver, Eskendereya, and Discreetly Mine. Mission Impazible is right behind, with Interactif, Aikenite, Doubles Partner, and Connermara racing in midpack.”Read More
Eskendereya shook off Jackson Bend rounding the final turn of the $250,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park and romped home by 8 1/2 lengths under John Velazquez to register his first graded stakes win Feb. 20.Read More
We've been looking for a dominant Derby performance. We finally got one. Read More
The big horse in trainer Nick Zito's barn is, point of fact, not very big. In terms of accomplishments, Jackson Bend ranks among the best 3-year-olds in the country, with 5 wins and 2 second-place finishes in 7 starts. In terms of physical stature, though, Jackson Bend won't be mistaken for a nightc...Read More
Robert LaPenta and Jacks or Better Farm’s Jackson Bend and Kingfield Stable’s Buddy’s Saint rank high on most lists of leading Kentucky Derby (G1) prospects currently and will meet for the first time in Saturday’s $250,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream Park in the deepest ...Read More

  • cigar · I think Buddy's Saint is the biggest bet-against of the GP meet so far. · 24 days ago
  • horses · Look for a big race from Aikenite. Pulsion could make some noise, too. · 24 days ago
Of the 23 individual betting interests in the Kentucky Derby Future Wager, 10 are running this weekend and six ran last weekend. That means the fabric of this year’s Derby picture is going to be greatly altered by Sunday. It also means that a good number of Future Wager tickets will be virtually wor...Read More
Kingfield Stable’s Buddy’s Saint worked six furlongs in 1:13 2/5 Sunday morning at Gulfstream Park for trainer Bruce Levine as the Remsen Stakes (G2) winner got a final drill ahead of his highly-anticipated 3-year-old debut in Saturday’s $250,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2). Buddy’s ...Read More
The decision by Fair Grounds to rearrange its stakes schedule and push the Louisiana Derby back to March 27 did much more than simply motivate Gulfstream management to move the Grade 1 Florida Derby up a week to March 20 to avoid a potential head-to-head conflict between the two races. It has also p...Read More
Flying Zee Stable and partners’ 3-year-old Pulsion worked six furlongs in 1:11 flat Tuesday morning at Gulfstream Park for trainer Patrick Biancone and remains on target for his season debut in the $250,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) on Sat., Feb. 20, despite missing an allowance ra...Read More
It was a big afternoon Saturday for trainer Todd Pletcher’s powerful stable with the stunning, track record performance of Quality Road in the Donn Handicap (G1) minutes after Take the Points’ big effort finishing first in the Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap (G1) before he was disqualified by the ste...Read More
A few years back when interviewing Tony Dutrow, he told me he was in the racing business to make money and that every horse was for sale. Now that he has WINSLOW HOMER on the Derby trail for julep-yearning owner Rick Porter, it will be interesting to see how his philosophy changes now with a sip of ...Read More
Fox Hill Farms’ Winslow Homer made an auspicious stakes debut Saturday at Gulfstream Park as he pulled away from Robert LaPenta’s 8-to-5 favorite Jackson Bend in the deep stretch to score a three-quarter length victory in the $150,000 Holy Bull Stakes (G3) as both talented 3-year-olds set off on a p...Read More
  • Rossington · Speaking of the Kentucky Derby, has anyone out there heard any news at all about some of the 09' Derby runners and contenders that were injured early in the year? I know that Pioneer of the Nile, Papa Clem, and Dunkirk have all been retired. But what about Musketman, The Pamplemousse(who I know didn't run in the Derby), or I Want Revenge? I saw that Friesan Fire and General Quarters have both returned to action racing in the Louisiana Handicap recently. Just wondering if anyone knew when we might expect the return of some of the afore mentioned? · 45 days ago
Winslow Homer made his stakes debut in the Holy Bull with only three starts to his credit, but he was well-regarded despite the limited credentials, leaving the starting gate as the 7-2 co-second choice in the wagering. The Tony Dutrow-trained colt received a 106 BRIS Speed in his previous start, a ...Read More
Two potent armies are gathering en masse on opposite ends of the country. Their objective: Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May. The generals: Bob Baffert, who is assembling a large force on the slopes of the San Gabriels, and Todd Pletcher, who is matching him horse for horse, with his main...Read More

  • cigar · If you go back and watch Winslow Homer's first three races he shows definitive improvement both in terms of overall ability, push-button speed and ratability. I expect him to run big in the Holy Bull. · 51 days ago
  • mdracing69 · Hope you're right about Winslow Homer, because he's my pick in the Holy Bull. · 51 days ago
Disappointment and hope run in tandem on the trail. Just minutes after word broke that Azeri's baby TAKE CONTROL was injured and off the Triple Crown trail, along came Barbaro's little brother LENTENOR to pull off a "wow" performance unmatched in the maiden ranks this season. Call me crazy, but LENT...Read More
Before I jump around the nation with news and notes, congrats to Rachel Alexandra for winning Horse of the Year honors over Zenyatta. She had the better overall season and deserved the nod. It is great that Zenyatta will race again this year, and we can only hope that the two fabulous ladies hook up...Read More
The field for Saturday’s highly-anticipated renewal of the $150,000 Holy Bull Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park continues to take shape with a field of seven to 10 3-year-olds expected. Robert LaPenta’s Jackson Bend will likely be favored in the one-turn, one-mile test. Gulfstream racing officials lis...Read More
