What the Nation is saying about California Flag...

Saturday's wide open Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint includes a full field of fourteen headed by defending champion Chamberlain Bridge. Chamberlain Bridge will break from post 14 for trainer Bret Calhoun and the 7-year-old gelding is 4-for-6 over the Churchill Downs weeds. He has dropped four straight but...Read More
Rags-to-riches California-bred Caracortado, prepping for the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5, worked five furlongs on Santa Anita’s main track Sunday in a minute flat under regular rider Joe Talamo. Caracortado worked in company with Wild Revenge, who was clocked in 1:02.40 un...Read More

  • Mary Z. · I wondered why too. Shouldn't he go for the Mile? But, check out his win on 11/11/10. aoc on turf at HP , 6f in 1:07.79 with Amazombie third. If he can get back to closing at a shorter distance than he's run lately, why not? The other cali turf sprinter, California Flag would be my pick if on the downhill course at SA, but not at CD. In the Mile, Caracortado would be up against the champ, Goldikova, and blazing fast so long as he doesn't burn out, Sidney's Candy. · 102 days ago ·

As racing resumed at picturesque Keeneland Race Course, more Breeders’ Cup prep races were added to those being contested at Belmont and Santa Anita Park. Here are some thoughts and conclusions that I took away from last weekend’s coast-to-coast action. Read More

  • ahnuckolsjr · It's kind of funny, but I raised 2 of the two year-old fillies under consideration for this year's Juvenile Fillies race, Miss Netta and Heart of Destiny. They were both very interesting fillies to watch grow up and work with every day. Miss Netta was very opinionated and would let you know that she, not you, was going to determine what she did and did not do. I had the privilege of selling her at Saratoga to Everett Dobson and his Cheyenne Racing Stable. Randy Bradshaw told me that she still has her ways and that you have to convince her that what you want her to do was her idea first. She is really a neat filly, one of the nicest I've ever been around. Heart of Destiny, who I still own with my old college classmate, Jamie Greene, was a different type of filly. She was always a little taller than her contemporaries and just kind of looked through you as if to say "I see things way beyond you!" She was a real competitor in the 30 acre pasture she and Miss Netta played in. I used to love to look out my office window and watch them run and play in their field. Heart of Destiny would always go to the lead and when they would toyn and head back in a different direction, she would always go back to the front. Another filly that grew up with these two was second to Samolia Lemonade in her 1st start. Her name is Conquesta, an Empire Maker filly. Given the company that she was competing with she may be fun to watch as she competes for Mr. Marc Keller. · 109 days ago ·
