What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

AMERICAN LION (Tiznow) will make his two-turn debut Saturday while taking on six rivals in the $150,000 Robert B. Lewis S. (G2) at Santa Anita. The 1 1/16-mile event is a major prep for the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby (G1) on April 3. American Lion ran second in his debut for trainer Richard Budge be...Read More

  • bband · The complexion of this race totally changes if Tiz Chrome goes to Oaklawn. So does the Southwest for that matter. · 1 hours ago
  • cigar · Interesting discussions w/Tiz Chrome. He's talented, and now Baffert wants him on dirt. · 49 minutes ago
With Winslow Homer off the Kentucky Derby trail, which new 3-year-old has entered the top twelve? 1. Buddy's Saint - Some are knocking his big Beyer Speed Figure drop from the Nashua to the Remsen, but he was coming back in only three weeks after popping a 101 Beyer and figured to regress. Runner-up...Read More
Saturday’s pick six from Santa Anita Park includes the Grade 2 Robert Lewis and Strub Stakes. American Lion looms the one to beat in the former, and Misremembered is the marquee name in the latter. There is a 70% chance of showers with a high temperature of 62. Read More
The recent trends might "feel" like late bloomers have dominated the Kentucky Derby, but don't be fooled. The top four finishers of the last five Derbies averaged 3.7 starts as 2-year-olds and owned a combined mark of 34-for-79 as juveniles, a smashing 43 percent win rate. Almost half (10) of those ...Read More
he is definatly one of my favorite kentucky derby hopefuls
Can't wait to see American Lion in action this weekend. Very tough race, but this is WinStar's year - at least for Derby preps.
After winning the Holy Bull S. (G3) a week earlier, WINSLOW HOMER (Unbridled's Song) was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his cannon bone and taken off the Derby Trail on Tuesday. If he makes a full recovery, the gray colt is expected back this summer.Read More
On a weekend that was virtually devoid of Triple Crown-prep stakes events, the horse that drew most attention as a classic prospect was Drosselmeyer, who’d been on the radar as a bright prospect since winning a Churchill Downs maiden by six lengths in November. Returning nearly 11 weeks later for a ...Read More
It's that time of year again. Turf writers, handicappers and bloggers get an extra early start on predicting who will be in the final field of 20 on that first Saturday in May. Is it premature? No doubt. Is the field set in any way? Not on your life. But ...Read More
As the Kentucky Derby trail heads into February, the WinStar team has been as giddy as young Clara receiving the nutcracker from Uncle Drosselmeyer in the opening party scene of “The Nutcracker.”Read More
A quiet week at Down and Derby Central with no changes among my Top 20. Things will change next week with considerable action, highlighted by the first major prep in California, the Robert B. Lewis Stakes. Expected entrants include American Lion, Tiz Chrome, Hawaiian Springs, Dave In Dixie, and Cara...Read More
American Lion has become the forgotten 3-year-old in California. Staying away from the races for more than two months can do that for a colt's reputation in the instant gratification world of Kentucky Derby preps.Read More
In my last Derby post, I stated that a new player (Take Control) had arrived on the scene. Unfortunately, the Baffert trainee has shin problems and needs a few months to recover, so he’s off the Derby trail. Barn also has Conveyance, who had to work for his San Rafael (G3) tally on Jan 16th. He will...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
The Top 20 - 1 Connemara (Giant's Causeway - Satin Sunrise by Mr. Leader) The half brother of 2004 Derby runner-up, Lion Heart, runs in his first stakes race today in Golden Gate’s California DerbyRead More
The end of the year has arrived, and this is my final derby Top 10 of 2009. All Derby hopefuls turn three on January 1st, and as we inch closer to the first Saturday in May, a new player (Take Control) has arrived on the scene. Read More

  • thedodge · Take Control is to green to make the Kentucky Derby his next start is going to be an allowance race. He needs the seasoning and will lack the graded stakes money also to make the derby a horse needs a good mind and talent. He is talented no doubt about it maybe second half of the year that's my guess. · 29 days ago
  • thedodge · As for Baffert be absolutely loaded, I don't thing so from the two i liked one Clutch Player died the other Tiz Chrome he's bred to route acts like an old pro has run fast 97 beyer yes only 6 1/2f. My worry with him he has short legs maybe he's the next Northern Dancer will have to wait. For the other's Tiny Woods Sprinter no doubt, Conveyance Dr. Steven Romans says Indian Charlie his sire and Holy Bull his dame sire are intermediate Speed (non chef-de race). And in conclusion Looking At Lucky has'nt run that fast so i'am not buying. · 29 days ago
Just to let everyone know, I somehow contacted the connections on their Youtube channel (tizdubai), and they said that American Lion is fine. They are either pointing to the San Rafael Stakes (GIII, Saturday, January 16, 2009) or the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (GII, Saturday, February 6, 2010).

  • arazi · xMystix - That's great news. Thanks for researching! · 47 days ago
  • xMystix · Your wecome! I'm a Tiznow fan, so I always try to keep track of his progeny as best as I can. By the way, the San Rafael Stakes is in 2010, not 2009 - a typing error on my part. · 47 days ago
American Lion hasn't been seen on the worktab since the Hollywood Prevue on November 21st...so it looks like the connections have decided to back off on him for a little while.

  • invasor · Rumor has it that American Lion will be taking and indefinite leave from professional horse racing after having been seen with several fillies in the Hollywood Park detention barn · 55 days ago
  • cigar · No sense in pushing for the CashCall with bigger fish to fry if everything is not 100-percent. · 54 days ago
Okay, so I have a question, and anyone can answer if they know (and that would be great!), but why isn't American Lion not running in the Cashcall Futurity? I was really looking forward to seeing him run when I'm finally back at home for Christmas break. Any news?

  • arazi · Agree it's strange that they made no mention one way or another... nothing in their previous barn notes articles. · 55 days ago
  • xMystix · Yeah, I know! I've been trying to keep up with it, being away at college and all, but I've seen nothing. Zip. Nada. I haven't seen any new news at all, even while searching on Google. Google only shows articles about the Hollywood Prevue. I've even checked the Disabled List on Dan Illman's blog at DRF.com, and there's no mentioning of American Lion. Here's the link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pODFSWAEZ_zckRzvcf5AOdA. So I have no idea. · 55 days ago
Who cares if it's only December? You can still pretend eggnog is really a mint julep or that Santa means Santa Anita Derby or that poinsettias smell like roses or that "Jingle Bells" sounds like "My Old Kentucky Home." Come on, you can do it. Just close your eyes and envision the sights, sounds, and...Read More
