What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

Juddmonte Farms' homebred trio of VENTURA (Chester House), VISIT (GB) (Oasis Dream [GB]) and PROVISO (GB) (Dansili [GB]) were doing well Sunday for trainer Bobby Frankel, who missed the Breeders' Cup due to ongoing illness. It was reported during the telecast that the Hall of Famer has checked himse...Read More
Mastercraftsman is one of the European bankers of the meeting and should have too much class for Pyro. Furthest Land could represent some value in the place market.Read More
If there is one thing you can always count on in the Breeders' Cup it's that it will have it's share of longshot winners and mid-price overlays who get lost in the handicapping frenzy that is so much a part of the event.Read More
Chocolate Candy, who will try to give trainer Jerry Hollendorfer an upset victory in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, worked five furlongs in 1:00 2/5 handily Wednesday morning at Santa Anita. The Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships will be held Friday and Saturday at Santa Anita. ...Read More
For most of the year, Chocolate Candy was the marquee horse in trainer Jerry Hollendorfer's stable. But going into the Breeders' Cup on Friday and Saturday at Santa Anita, the 3-year-old colt has been supplanted by 2-year-old filly Blind Luck.Read More
Part four of my Breeders’ Cup Classic blog, and below is a look at the final four pre-entrants. Colonel John rates a longshot look in the Classic. 2-time local graded winner just missed in the Goodwood, and he won the Grade 1 Travers at this distance last year. He was my Ky Derby top in ‘08, and I h...Read More
The presence of classy Europeans Mastercraftsman and Sweet Hearth to the pre-entry field for the $1-million Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (gr. I) on Nov. 7 gives the runners from the powerful Godolphin stable the prospect of some tough competition.Read More
Chocolate Candy and Misremembered, 3-year-olds with graded stakes wins in California this year, are on course for the $1 million Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita on Nov. 7, their trainers said Thursday. Read More
Team Valor International and Gary Barber's GITANO HERNANDO (GB) (Hernando [Fr]) was a relative unknown entering Saturday's $305,000 Goodwood S. (G1) at Oak Tree, winning a conditions race over the synthetic track at Wolverhampton, England, in his previous start, but the three-year-old colt establish...Read More
Kentucky Derby (G1) winner MINE THAT BIRD (Birdstone) arrived Friday at Santa Anita by van from New Mexico at 2 a.m. (PDT) and jogged one mile over Santa Anita's Pro-Ride at 8 a.m. in preparation for Oak Tree's $350,000 Goodwood S. (G1) on October 10. Mine That Bird trained Friday morning under the ...Read More
We have a 10-race card on tap at Louisiana Downs on June 6th, and a big crowd is expected to come out and root for hometown hero Calvin Borel in the Belmont Stakes. Before I look at the Belmont and Saturday card at LAD, let’s recap the last two racedays… Read More
Warning: what you are about to read should be taken with extreme skepticism. Not to sound self deprecating, but yours truly is on one nasty losing streak in the Triple Crown, and the selection for the Belmont Stakes will be made as a means of self defense...Read More

  • mshutty · Tremedous breakdown of the Belmont Stakes. Couldn't agree more with your selection of Dunkirk and your bet against with Mine That Bird. · 248 days ago
So, we’re expected to believe that the strong Belmont Stakes day program will be run in the seam of the weather zone. At this point, I’d probably be willing to lay 7-5 on a fast track at 6:27 p.m. Saturday, but not one point higher.Today and Saturday, we’ll sketch out the 10 Belmont Stakes entrants ...Read More
Ok, I am officially smitten with Mine That Bird. I admit to being one of those misguided souls who paid no attention to him before the Kentucky Derby other than to comment what a beautiful mover he was. After the Preakness and seeing him on the Belmont track Thursday morning, I have to say in simple...Read More
"Yeah, I’ve been racking up the frequent flier miles," Hollendorfer said the morning of June 4 while Chocolate Candy was being bathed by grooms Galen May and Junior Rodriguez."This is a great facility at which to train, and he has done great here," Hollendorfer said. "I guess if he had run better in...Read More

  • Ana B · He's good but he's not nearly as good as Laffit Pincay! That man can race. He's going to be at this poker tournament this September! I hope I can go, cause they are giving fans a chance to meet him. Go here if you wanna sign up.. www.sportslegendschallenge.com -Ana B · 249 days ago
The two key figures in the pace scenario for Saturday’s Belmont Stakes are Miner's Escape and Charitable Man. The former will be a longshot in the field of 10, while Charitable Man was made the 3-1 second choice behind Mine That Bird. So, let’s see how this may play out...Read More
  • mshutty · Excellent analysis of the Belmont Stakes likely pace scenario by Steve Haskin. I think he has the two early leaders nailed down. There is no doubt in my mind that the Zito barn is sending Miner's Escape. I believe Steve's estimate of where Dunkirk will be sitting early is interesting. He has decent trackable cruising speed, so if the pace is slow he'll find himself closer to the leaders than is being projected but without compromising his late punch. Agree, however that I would prefer he sits about 5 lengths off early closing that gap to two lengths behind about mid final turn. · 249 days ago
If you happen to be walking the sidewalks of New York in the days leading up to the June 6 Belmont Stakes (gr. I), you just might run into diet guru Jenny Craig, who will be in town for the race...Read More
Chocolate Candy put the finishing touches on his preparations for the June 6 running of the $1 million Belmont Stakes (gr. I), with a final breeze at Belmont Park June 1.With exercise rider Lindsey Molina in the saddle, Chocolate Candy covered a half-mile in :50.25 on the main track at approximately...Read More
  • mshutty · Chocolate Candy needs to get back to CA. Projecting a back half of the field finish in the Belmont much like the Pioneerof "Denial" run in the Preakness. The CalPoly horses just aren't that good this year. · 251 days ago
  • mdracing69 · Chocolate Candy seems a tad interesting in the final leg. He was 5th in the Derby and has the pedigree to handle Test of Champions. · 251 days ago
