  • jinlie01 · travel_vic...I remember Skywalker's race as well. I also remember his gutsy win the SA Derby coming back against Fast Account with Pincay aboard and the young Gary Stevens on FA. GOD made his own pace and ran away with the SA Handicap. Solid ride from Smith. · 80 days ago ·

Don’t try to convince Gary Stevens that money doesn’t make the mare go. In a race-riding career spanning more than three decades, including seven years off for retirement, if there’s one thing he’s learned, it’s that when big money’s on the line, it’s a whole new ball game. Such is the case Saturday...Read More

Called to Serve appears to be coming into the race well prepared and he seems to be peaking at the right time. Plus when you add Stevens in the saddle, well his odds of winning just climb. Of course, I havealso really been wanting to see an Afleet Alex colt do well by his sire.
It’s game on for Game On Dude in next Saturday’s Santa Anita Handicap after the favorite for the track’s marquee race worked six furlongs on a fast main track Sunday morning under Martin Garcia.Read More
Called to Serve registered his third straight bullet work in preparation for the Santa Anita Handicap when he went five furlongs on Santa Anita’s fast main track Friday in 59.20 with Gary Stevens up. The Hall of Fame rider, who turns 50 on March 6, has the mount in the Big ’Cap. Read More
  • Cab2536 · I think this horse is just starting to come into his own. He could be a serious horse in the handicap division in 2013. Of course, the litmus test is the Big Cap -- best of luck to him and the kid, G Stevens. · 91 days ago ·

Called to Serve arrived in California on Tuesday 2/5/13 to begin preparing for the Big Cap. He looks fantastic and is enjoying his time at Santa Anita. I am glad we got him here a month ahead of time so he can work over the track and get used to the decent weather here in California. We are well aware that Game on Dude and Ron the Greek will be the horses to beat. Our horse will love the distance and is improving. He was given the time off after the Broad Brush so he could go into his next few races fresh and with him being a gelding, extending his racing career and being kind to him now will hopefully pay off down the road.
If you were doing what I was doing on New Year’s Eve, (watching a little bit of thoroughbred action) you likely witnessed the best performance of the holiday weekend take place in the afternoon’s feature at Laurel Park. Looking every bit as impressive as he did in his big win in November’s Grade 3 D...Read More
