What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Brave Dave...

Race #4 Brave Dave/ Clawback/ Zee Bros/ Undrafted (gotta pick Joel xD) That order.
Zayat Stables LLC’s Zee Bros grabbed the lead several jumps out of the gate and went on to post a 2 ¼-length triumph in the $100,000 Chick Lang Stakes for three-year-olds at Pimlico Race Course. Read More
Brave Dave is back at Calder on Saturday in the Big Drama Stakes, I think he will make it a winning effort.
Trilogy Stable and Laurie Plesa’s 3-year-old Itsmyluckyday breezed an easy mile in 1:46 flat Saturday morning at Calder for trainer Eddie Plesa, Jr. as he continues preparation for a start next as one of the favorites in the $1 million Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream Park on Sat., Mar. 30.Read More
Falling Sky announced his presence on the Road to the Roses with a gutsy score in the Sam F. Davis.Read More

  • AndyScoggin · It was no "Narrow" margin for Verrazano on Saturday. I love crossing that bridge from Staten Island to Brooklyn because it usually means I'm on my way to AQU or BEL. · 110 days ago ·

I know he's not really Derby material but I do like him.

  • UnionRagsRules · I know, but that is the main focus, and if I just said "I like this colt" everyone would say "he'll never get 10f" and then I get into a huge argument, ya know what I mean? · 149 days ago ·

Purple Egg, a Kentucky-bred is trained by Jane Cibelli, won the 28th running of the $75,000, six-furlong Inaugural Stakes in 1:09.93, shattering the former stakes mark of 1:10.89 set by Dream of Angels in 2007. Read More
Brave Dave won in another impressive performance in a stakes race.
Brave Dave returns to the scene of his first win and wires the field in the Birdonthewire Stakes. 
I think this horse has a bunch of potential.... He lost the Sanford, setting the fast pace. But, he BLEW the turn and finished fourth. That showed he didn't fade that much. Then, he comes back and wins the Sapling Stakes. I don't think he'll be some type of unbeatable monster, but I think he can be a decent G2 horse. Maybe at middle distances like 7-9 furlongs in the future.
Nice win in the Sapling Stakes!
In Monmouth Park’s two premier events for juveniles, Brave Dave overcame a bad stumble out of the gate to capture the Grade 3 $100,000 Sapling Stakes and Doubled closed strongly up the rail to take the $100,000 Sorority Stakes before a crowd 15,424 on Sunday.Read More
Watch out for this one in the Sanford.

Todd Pletcher, eight times the leading trainer at Saratoga Race Course, always links his success at the meet to the performance of his 2-year-olds. Among his promising juveniles this year are Rose Junction and Onetwentyeight, who make their stakes debuts in Sunday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Sanford.Read More
