bring him back to the dirt!
Not sure if I agree with using Grades stakes races as a prep race, could be a confidence killer for the horse?

  • DeadHeat · The only thing with Boys is that they are being a little too tentative with him. Trick, they obviously knew was the same horse, and with how they are being with Boys compared to Trick, i fear that they think that Boys is not the same horse he was at two. · 142 days ago ·

As the 2011 racing season comes to a close, it became abundantly clear Saturday that owner Charlotte Weber has a lot to look forward to in 2012.Weber is the head of Live Oak Plantation, which on Saturday at Aqueduct sent out To Honor and Serve to victory in the Grade 1 Cigar Mile and Souper Speedy t...Read More

  • medlocke · I'm really happy for Aidan and young Joseph O'Brien. But most of all, I'm really happy for St. Nicholas Abbey winning the BC Turf. Everyone in the UK had St Nicholas Abbey down as the "second coming" when he went unbeaten as a 2yr.old in 2009, and ended that season with win's in the G2 Beresford Stakes in Ireland, and by mauling the G1 Racing Post Trophy field at Doncaster. Then he had a disappointing 6th place finish in the G1 English 2000 Guineas as a 3yr.old as a heavy favorite to win the race, and everyone wrote St Nicholas Abbey off. He's come back this season as a 4yr.old and had a really terrific season from top to bottom. He won the G3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester over 1-3/4. Then defeated Midday at Epsom in the G1 Coronation Cup over 1-1/2. He also had very respectable run's in the G2 Prix Foy and the G1 Prix De l' Arc De Triomphe at Longchamp this season, too. I backed Sea Moon to win the BC Turf. But St. Nicholas Abbey winning the race certainly wasn't a shock result. Both of the horses that Ballydoyle had in the race are top class on their best day. · 201 days ago ·

Good luck to Brilliant Speed. Hes probably been saved for this mile & 1/2 grass event ever since going a mile & 1/2 in the Belmont. Give him some rest, pick up a easy grade 3 at Saratoga on the grass. Then have him fresh to go a arduous mile & 1/2 in the Breeders Cup in early November. Be interesting to see how this 3 yr. old does against older runners.
Midday won the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf in '09 and was runner-up in that event last year, but her connections switch gears and shoot for more money in the $3,000,000 BC Turf this time around. The 5-year-old mare has captured seven group/graded events in her illustrious career and has bank...Read More
