What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

HA: Over the last couple of years, you have had the pleasure of training some very high quality horses. Did any of those horses just seem to pop out when they first came to you? What traits did they seem to possess that made them stand above the rest? EH: Colonel John, Well Armed, and Dubai Escapade...Read More
In what was the biggest weekend of the year for Derby preps, we saw a wide variety of top-class performances, such as Lookin At lucky turning near-disaster into a gutsy, thrilling victory in the Rebel Stakes (gr. III); Odysseus’ return from the dead to snatch victory in the Tampa Bay Derby (gr. III)...Read More
Universal good thing Zenyatta ($2.60) had a few anxious moments waiting for room in the lane, but she is scary talented and cruised home once clear in the Santa Margarita. Don’t think Rachel wants any part of this mare at Oaklawn. Mike Smith had his usual seat aboard the Shirreffs trainee...Read More
The Craig Family Trust's homebred SIDNEY'S CANDY (Candy Ride [Arg]) loomed as the controlling speed in Saturday's $150,000 San Felipe S. (G2) at Santa Anita, and the John Sadler trainee capitalized on that advantage to lead throughout in his two-turn debut. With regular rider Joe Talamo aboard, the ...Read More
Saturday’s pick six from Santa Anita Park includes a pair of graded events. First up is the Grade 1 Santa Margarita, and Zenyatta packs on the pounds (127) in her seasonal bow and Apple Blossom tune-up. Two races later, 3yo’s take center stage in the Grade 2 San Felipe. Five logical contenders ...Read More
In the past seven graded Triple Crown preps contested at Oaklawn, five have contained at least one starter based on the California synthetic tracks. Of those five Oaklawn invasions, the West Coasters own four wins and a second-place finish. Keep that in mind as you analyze Saturday's Rebel and recal...Read More
If you can't get excited about racing this weekend, I don't know what to tell ya. Saturday is action-packed from coast to coast and I know I'll be glued to my computer with racing form in hand all all afternoon. Let's take a trip around the US and A, in the Space Shuttle to see what's in store....Read More
On Saturday, the popular duo of jockey Paul Atkinson and CARACORTADO (Cat Dreams) hope to move a step closer to the May 1 Kentucky Derby (G1) when they run in the $150,000 San Felipe S. (G2) going 1 1/16 miles at Santa Anita. Early on, Caracortado and Atkinson flew beneath racing's radar, but after ...Read More
While the top four stayed the same, there were some interesting developments in the Paulick Derby Index brought to you by Vinery LTD. The most obvious was Awesome Act’s giant leap to number nine in our poll. Last week, the British invader did not receive a single vote from our 29-vote panel. While A...Read More
Mike Machowsky has seen enough. After Caracortado worked five furlongs in 58.60 seconds, or six furlongs in 1:12 by Machowsky's watch, on Friday the trainer pronounced the undefeated 3-year-old ready for the $150,000 San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita this Saturday."I'll just gallop him the rest of th...Read More
Kentucky Derby watchers everywhere have passed the point of no return.  Inside of eight weeks, it is put up or shut up time.  Connections and horses are now in full scramble mode to prove that they have what it takes to make a serious run for the roses. Yesterday we saw impressive runs...Read More
There are so many top 3-year-olds who still have questions to answer it makes it tough to come up with a list of 12 horses each week that you’re perfectly happy with.   There are always going to be horses you’d love to include who just haven’t done quite enough to warrant supplanting the more a...Read More
A handful of graded events were contested on Feb 20th, and the performance of the day belonged to my new number one Derby contender…Eskendereya. The Todd Pletcher trainee came into the ‘Youth off a sharp allowance score, and the early-pressing sort went off as 3rd betting choice behind Buddy’s Saint...Read More

  • mdracing69 · Jackson Bend - Part of exacta all 8 starts. Hard knocker reminds me of '96 Preakness winner Louis Quatorze (also Zito). Dublin had a solid start to 3yo campaign. · 23 days ago
  • mdracing69 · As for Rule, I have a rule. Pletcher cannot take up more than 30% of my list...lol. · 23 days ago
All of a sudden the Derby Trail just got a whole lot downer and derbier with several important preps being run yesterday. The theme of the day was Mr. Todd Pletcher, who scored with three Derby prep wins, topped by a scintilating score by Eskendereya. All of yesterday's preps...Read More
  • wickedstyle · Enjoyed the read - I was somewhat surprised to see you put Eskendereya at #2, not that I disagree after the FOY, but it still surprised me. No Vale of York? Just a Cali fluke? And also no love for Discreetly Mine? · 26 days ago
  • cigar · Eskendereya's Fountain of Youth is by the far the best performance any 3-year-old has put on the track this year. He should be #1. · 24 days ago
A couple of graded events were contested over the holiday weekend, and the Southwest from Oaklawn Park has been rescheduled for Feb 20th after inclimate weather forced the cancellation of much of their card on Monday. Rule did his wire job thing in the Sam F Davis at Tampa Bay. I have no idea how go...Read More

  • cigar · Lookin at Lucky is going to be Looking at the TV when the Derby is run if the status-quo continues. · 30 days ago
  • mdracing69 · Same goes for Noble's Promise, Super Saver, and Vale of York. Time to get the running shoes on. · 30 days ago
The latest Wireplayers Dirty Dozen of Kentucky Derby contenders is out. It's a curious time on the Derby trail as so many of the top contenders have yet to get their first or second races under their tack as we approach the 3/4 mark of February. If Trainers and Connections want three starts before t...Read More
The Kentucky Derby presented by Yum picture is far from clear but after this weekend we should at least have some additional visibility. This past Saturday at Santa Anita former claimer Caracortado stepped closer to the glass slipper with an late surging victory in the $150,000 Robert B. Lewis Stake...Read More
Back when magazines mattered, there used to be this thing called the “Sports Illustrated cover jinx.” I’m starting to worry that it might be replaced by the Ray Paulick “Paulick Derby Index jinx.” When we launched the 2010 edition of the Derby Index two weeks ago... Read More
It is appearing with each race that Rule  does not believe in doing unto others as he would have them do unto him. In fact, he treats others rather shabbily.He either crushes them with a mighty blow, as he did in the Jean Lafitte last year, or he pretends to be vulnerable and then dashes any ho...Read More
Horse Racing Nation breaks down Saturday's big wins on the Derby trail Read More
  • mid0827 · I think a lot of people are skeptical of these two. That's now 9 straight between the two of them. · 34 days ago
  • invasor · Agree with your assessment. Both horses had everything go their way in short fields but, hey, they keep winning. Note that in the Lewis the one two finishers both had run the 1 1/16 distance previously. Sprinters Tiz Chrome and American Lion beat each other up making Caracoratado and Dave in Dixie look better than they probably are. · 32 days ago
