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

Dust and Diamonds, with John Velazquez, did not disappoint her backers. She was away from the gate in good order, set the pace, and drew away to a dazzling 2 ¾ length victory in near track record time.Read More

  • Capper · Even though I'm a Drill fan this seems like a hustled move to help him get graded earnings for the Derby run. My Adonis has been pointed for this race for a while, won the local prep and Kelly Breen has had pretty good success in this race with past runners. · 551 days ago ·

  • ruhlmann · I also like Jackson Bend in the BCSprint. Hopefully his 0 for 2 record at CD is nothing to worry about. If he runs with that burst like he did in the Forego & Jms Marvin he will be very very tough to beat. There should be plenty of pace to run at, with Euroears & Giant Ryan. · 567 days ago ·

  • JWC8282 · This contest seems like a good one. Lots of money up for grabs. I think I'm going to take to play two selections in the Vosburgh; Big Drama and Trappe Shot. Hopefully I have some winners from that. Then on to the Breeders' Cup!!!!!! · 599 days ago ·

  • arazi · I think this is a pretty easy contest to have a great shot. If you can pick the winner of the First Lady and Breeders' Futurity today, then you get 2 shots to share in $45,000. Not bad. To split the $45,000, it's essentially a double on the Ladies Classic and Mile. I'm not sure why everyone isn't taking a shot... I will. · 591 days ago ·

Big Drama has recovered from a recent illness that kept him from running in the Vosburgh. He is expected to resume training on Sunday or Monday for a BC Sprint repeat. His stablemate Apriority is also tageting that race.    
I was all prepared to write that there are simply too many prep races today. I was going to say, whether it is for the Kentucky Derby or the Breeders’ Cup, the proliferation of prep races, spread out over numerous racetracks, and all occurring at virtually the same time, is not for the overall good ...Read More

  • LAZMANNICK · I think that the concept of Super Saturday is great. It always has been. I was really looking forward to the day, but came away feeling kind of empty as if to ask the question, this is it? One concern is that the top level talent is spread very thin. The Beldame with five fillies, the favorite and one with a possible upset chance, and others that didn’t belong including LAT. Not much suspense. The Kelso scratched down to four entrants. There was possibly more suspense in wondering if Mo would move forward from the King Bishop and some suspense with J Bend because that one is an improving sort. Mo definitely was the highlight of the day. The Turf Classic maybe gave American Turf racing a bit of a shot in the arm. Cape Blanco was certainly all out to beat Dean’s Kitten and yet that one wasn’t all that far behind him when third in the Million. The Flower Bowl was a romp for Stacelita with the others all running for second money. The Vosburgh was the best race on the card in terms of depth of talent with some good sprinters and yet Giant Ryan dominated. Maybe the trouble at the start where Euroears and Apriority were taken out made it easier for him. What’s up with Trappe Shot? The JCGC was an extremely weak field for such a revered race. No G1 wins in a so called open G1 race. Flat Out’s first G1 win was dominant IMO. Stay Thirsty was a bust against older on a track he ran well on in the Belmont. Super Saturday used to be just that, but not anymore I’m afraid. · 597 days ago ·

  • annmatt · I loved Super Saturday, followed by the Arc races on Super Sunday morning and then a few lesser races Sunday afternoon! But this was my first such Super weekend! I came up with my own version of “speed watching” wall-to-wall races. I discovered how to watch all of this action without getting overwhelmed. With a little organization and a couple of online services, it was a snap. After experiencing racing online, I actually prefer it to the slower pace of watching on national television primarily because I can tailor the viewing experience to my own tastes and pace! This type of action has to appeal to younger fans, I would think, since their attention span is about 20 seconds! Once all the services get up to speed with HD, I think watching horse racing online is the best way to experience the sport. Am I the last one to know this and do others "speed watch" the races this way? Am I weird? · 595 days ago ·
