First off I would like to start off by saying, I got to see the Derby Draw LIVE yesterday! I know, not a big deal, but for a college student who is stuck with no TVG or HRTV, this was a humungous deal. I sat on the edge of my seat waiting for each and every one of my top selections names to be calle...Read More

Augustin Stable’s Smart Bid, who missed by a nose in his last start when second in the Grade I Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap, turned up on the more profitable side of the photo finish camera when he captured the $400,000 Grade II Mervin Muniz Memorial Handicap by a nose on Saturday’s Louisiana Derby...Read More
The much-anticipated matchup between Richard, Bertram and Elaine Klein’s Cash Refund and Gold Mark Farm’s Backtalk in a $53,000 allowance optional claiming Saturday at Fair Grounds lived up to its billing, giving guests at the local oval and simulcast fans across the continent one of the most excit...Read More
Charles Zacney and Eddie Johnston’s Wildrally, hero of the $100,000 Louisiana Champions Day Turf two seasons ago, returned to his winning ways in state-bred stakes company at Fair Grounds Saturday with a one-length tally in the featured $60,000 Dixie Poker Ace Stakes.   Allowed to settle early ...Read More
Red Oak Stable’s Kissimmee Kyle, a Louisiana-bred owned by Florida-based John Brunetti of Hialeah Park, has been installed as the slight 5-2 choice in Saturday’s 30th renewal of the $60,000 Dixie Poker Ace Stakes, restricted to accredited Louisiana-breds at about one mile over Fair Grounds’ Stall-Wi...Read More

Churchill Downs was the primary training grounds for the Preakness, with a remarkable nine of the 12 starters having prepared here, including the top six finishers in the Pimlico classic last Saturday. It won't be nearly as busy here in the next couple of weeks, although three prospects for the June...Read More
Curlin u know what Backtalk is a horse that trys his heards out on the track yes he will not be Big Brown but he is a great horse to see him run i like him i have own races with this horse

i think that Backtalk will be ready for his next race i dont think that he like the track
  • curlin · I completely disagree. He had one twice at churchill downs before and twice on a wet track before. the track conditions derby day were almost tailor made for his likings. i think he either: won his races against crappy horses and was obviously overmatched in the derby or he just didnt want to run that day. it happens sometimes. remember big brown in the belmont. he was by far the best horse of that year but on that day he didnt want to run. now im not saying backtalk will be a big brown calibre horse. i think at best he will be a below average graded stakes horse. · 1111 days ago ·

  • Arrrgy · People didn't realize that CD was hard all day and when it started to drain, it got deep and cuppy. A totally different track. One that causes bowed tendons. From bone crushing to tendon stretching. That's the worse racing strip this side of Emerald downs. I hate it. We lost Esky and Awesome act and who knows how many others to it. :( · 1110 days ago ·

Taking nothing away from Super Saver, who ran a terrific race to win the Kentucky Derby, but he wasn't the best horse Saturday at Churchill Downs. In defeat, Ice Box turned in one of the more remarkable losing efforts in Derby history and lost only because he was very unlucky. With a 20-horse field,...Read More
  • humphrey · ONE of these days, BUT I DOUBT IT, people are going to learn that horse up closer to the pace that last (no matter how visually underwhelming) are much much more often having their picture taken than these cloud closers, HISTORICALLY deep closers never win their fair share of the races in which they continually make these big moves.. · 1116 days ago ·

Up — TV ratings: The Derby overnights were the best they had been since 1992, the year Lil E. Tee won the Run for the Roses. Not sure the reason for the increase, especially considering the expected favorite, Eskendereya, dropped out the weekend before with an injury. Nevertheless, the numbers bear ...Read More

I don’t usually handicap races in advance on my blog, mostly because well, hell, your hot air and ill-considered opinions are worth more or less exactly the same as mine. Put another way, any moron can look at tomorrow’s Derby and say something like “Lookin’ at Lucky blah blah blah.”Read More
Slop, the great equalizer. As if this year’s Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) isn’t equal enough, we’re about to get bombarded with a prolonged rain unlike anything the Derby has ever seen.Read More
According to Weather.Com there is an 80% chance of precipitation on Saturday at Churchill Downs.
