What the Nation is saying about Broad Brush...

With the forecast of rain for Philadelphia on Saturday, the prospect of a wet Pennsylvania Derby has me thinking back even more to one of the most incredible races I’ve ever seen. When this year’s field enters the starting gate, it will be almost exactly 25 years to the day since Broad Brush pulled ...Read More

Can someone please post the video of Broad Brush winning the '86 Pennsylvania Derby on his profile, or youtube? And his Wood Memorial, Ohio Derby, and Big Cap wins if you've got them, too?!
The Pennsylvania Derby was first run in 1979 at Keystone on Memorial Day with the Woody Stephens trained Smarten taking the winners share of the $100,000 purse. In 1981 the race became a grade three stake.Read More

  • AndyScoggin · Spearfish got claimed from us after about a year and then claimed again. That trainer got him to climb the claiming ladder and win 4 races in a very short period of time. Spearfish was them claimed and disappeared forever. We eventually heard what happened. It is sad that there are a few trainers that don't care about the condition of their horses. I really do believe that those types are the exceptions in racing and that most trainers do care about their horses. · 140 days ago ·

Yeah, Broad Brush was a great horse. I liked his son, Concern. I always try to find horses with Broad Brush in their bloodline.
I can't believe Broad Brush is'nt in the Hall of Fame. This was one Great horse. It's not right.
I was just a toddler when the legend of Hoist The Flag was forged, but through the superlatives littered on him by my Dad, and the magnificence of his offspring, he became one of the most important horses of my childhood. All this despite the fact that I never saw him in person. Like Ahab's white wh...Read More

This is a very good horse who deserves some votes.
I'll have a preview of this weekend's three Derby preps later on today but I wanted to discuss a horse that could end up making a bit of noise this Saturday at Santa Anita, and that's Todd Pletcher's Interactif.  Here's a look at the race record and the pedigree of this would-be Derby contender...Read More
While the will-she-or-won't-she discussion continues over Rachel Alexandra's possible participation in the Belmont (briefly mentioned in my latest blog posting at BelmontStakes.com), the other queen of the track is preparing to (finally) make her seasonal debut.Read More
Broad Brush has a special place in my heart. He was my pick to win the 1986 Kentucky Derby when I was in college. He came in third. I went to see him run in the Preakness that year and, again, he came in third. Although he won the Wood and the Meadowlands Cup that year, he really didn't come into hi...Read More
