What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Big Brown...

Make no mistake, a victory Saturday would resurrect plenty of chatter about Orb being a special horse and certainly clinch the 3YO male division if the trend of recent years Eclipse Award voting continues. Since 1970, only four horses have completed the Derby - Belmont double making it rare air inde...Read More

  • tmallios1 · yes gallop,just like last years derby and preakness winner whose trainer served a 60 day suspension after the triple crown.yet for some reason,i never followed this site last year.i can almost bet you never broached the subject.it is refreshing to know how selective you are in pointing out trainers.1 more before i go.steve assmussen served a 6 month and a 3 month suspension.on your theory,are we to assume rachel and curlin wre needled as you say. i do not think so.so stop speaking out of the wrong anatomy of your body before you have concrete proof and add others sto your list.am i pissed,damn right.you are slandering a friend of mine. · 12 days ago ·

No matter the type of racing, cheating is present. The level of severity of punishment is often a matter of judgement, and this leads to mixed messages and lack of correction throughout the various racing industries.Read More

  • tmallios1 · brian.maybe that is why so many of these other muscle builders never showed up.i know vyjack got spooked early as rudy said.that is why they are coming back.but for all of the other horses who ran their races.something is wrong.i am not foolish to think that you can check and scrutinize like this in all races.not enough time and money.but when someone gets caughy with hard stuff that is killing horses.ban them for life immediately.no 2nd chance.if a trainer has positive on a horse that requires over 60 day suspension.ban the horse fromrunning the entire time.let the owners feel it to.let the trainers know that this will not be tolerated.they might lose buisiness.they won't get strict because,the top horses and trainers are their bread and butter.god forbid it happens to the top guys.they may lose out on alot.what people have to realize is the following.it is not only the horses getting hurt.it is the human life of the jocks.what happens when a horse goes down in a race.an accident can kill a jock or horse.until there is accountability and outrage from within the game.all we are doing is blowing smoke in the wind.there is to much money involved for these hypocrits to do anything about it · 42 days ago ·

Watched the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby 2008 over and over. Hope that Garrett Gomez has the time to chat with Desormeaux. He got that horse up to 4th just after the first turn and made it look so easy.
35 years and counting, Triple Crowns of the past are now just a wonderful, but distant memory.Read More

Since we're talking a lot about sires lately, I thought you'd all be intersted in some of Vinery's Southern Hemisphere shuttle sires fees (Big Brown, Pluck, Congrats, More Than Ready...) http://www.thoroughbrednews.com.au/Spring-Racing/default.aspx?id=66088
The new points system has had enough debate. Let’s take a more radical look at the Kentucky Derby and think about what would change if the maximum field were 14. Read More

  • icyhotboo · "He doesn't necessarily have to win Saturday to go to the (Kentucky) Derby, but he has to run the right kind of race. If he doesn't, we won't go. I want the horse to take me there." McGaughey/ If more owner trainers let the horse guide them, they wouldn't have to set a 20 horse limit, because about half of them in a 20 horse field aren't ready or are strictly sprinters that clog up the field at some point and foul it up for others when they rapidly fall back. · 84 days ago ·

  • Armada · The image used for this article fits very well with Animal Kingdom, Muchu Macho Man, and Shackleford all there. All whom have done so well since that picture was taken. And of course you cant discount Nehro, whom we will hopefully see next year. All top four finishers. I think it is a much stronger crop than I did back then. · 201 days ago ·

  • DeltaT · I think with the new Kentucy Derby point system we will see a more often raced horse winning the Derby. At the same time we also may see points chasing/shipping more this Derby trail too with smaller barns and shallower pocket owners giving way to the bigger better funded connections. · 193 days ago ·
