What the Nation is saying about Cloudy's Knight...

Cloudy’s Knight, the S J Stables’ color bearer whose biggest victory came in 2007’s Grade I Canadian International at Woodbine Race Course but who is remembered locally for his numerous courageous performances in Arlington’s Grade III Stars and Stripes, celebrated his 12th birthday Wednesday during ...Read More

  • lane.r.mende · Glad to know he's doing great. Just read an article about his sire Lord Avie, who is still going strong at the age of 34 · 390 days ago ·

It’s Stars and Stripes Day at Arlington Park this Saturday, and since the turn of the 21st century, no horse has demonstrated the courage needed to perform at the top level necessary for Arlington’s traditional mile and a half marathon than S J Stables’ Cloudy’s Knight.   The chestnut gelding, ...Read More
Too bad he retierd... he deserved to keep running his heart out (:
Accomplished veteran stayer and crowd favorite Cloudy’s Knight has been retired after a right front suspensory injury flared up while he was preparing for the Sycamore Stakes (G3) on Thursday at Keeneland Race Course. The ten-year-old Lord Avie gelding had a chance to become the oldest career graded...Read More
  • medlocke · The old man has ran magnificently, and won his share of races. Nostiled out by Man of Iron as a 9yr.old in the 2009 Breeders Cup Marathon. Then coming back and racing very well in 2010 as a 10 yr.old. Cloudy's Knight has nothing to apologize for in his career. I'm just sorry to see that his long, distinguished career ended as a result of injury. Instead of on his own terms. A real competitor. I wish him nothing but the best!! · 973 days ago ·

The average age of the marquee names does not quite equal the number of furlongs the field will travel over Keeneland's turf course, which is 12, but experience does figure to rule in Thursday's $100,000 Sycamore S. (G3). PRESIOUS PASSION (Royal Anthem), the seven-year-old, two-time United Nations S...Read More
Cloudy's Knight, who used last year's Kentucky Cup Turf (gr. IIIT) as a springboard to a remarkable second-half campaign, is back to defend his title.Read More
There is nothing like a couple of days of all-turf racing, to pick your head up and get you back into a handicapping state of mind. Kentucky Downs has full fields of grass racing, over what is the most “European style" course in the country. The one mile and 3/8’s course used to be called Dueling Gr...Read More
Shirley and Jerrold Schwartz’ 10-year-old multi-millionaire gelding Cloudy's Knight, who sustained a tendon injury in a April 19 workout, may be retired from racing, according to Daily Racing Form. The son of Lord Avie would have likely been a solid favorite in the closing day feature at Keeneland, ...Read More
Cloudy's Knight is just awesome. It's hard to believe he's almost 10-years-old. He nearly won the Marathon, I wonder how he would have fared against Conduit and Presious Passion had he run in the Turf.
“With the close of each racing year comes the interesting problem of the best horse…In past years this was much easier than it is in the present. Today commercialism cuts an important figure, crowding old-fashioned ‘sportsmanship’ to the wall. Horses are no longer raced purely as ‘sport’ much as we ...Read More
Cloudy's Knight, a 9-year-old gelding out of S J Stables, won the $150,000 W.L. McKnight Handicap on Saturday at Calder Race Course in Miami Gardens.Read More
After a season that included two Grade 1 wins, Presious Passion will try to close out 2009 like he did in ’08 and ’07—by winning the W. L. McKnight Handicap (G2) at Calder Race Course.Read More
When Jonathan Sheppard was asked whether he wanted to take a 9-year-old who had tendon problems, hadn't run in several months and hadn't won since 2007, he was understandably reluctant. It's not that he didn't mind reclamation projects or working with older horses, but this one seemed particularly h...Read More
The gritty 9-year-old Cloudy's Knight surrendered the lead to Eagle Poise but fought back along the inside to win the 1 3/4-mile Valedictory Stakes by one length on closing day of the 167-day Woodbine meet Dec. 6.Read More

Trainer Jonathan Sheppard reported that his trio of Breeders' Cup starters were all feeling well Sunday morning. The Hall of Fame trainer expressed pleasure with all of their performances, as well.Read More
  • Rossington · I really enjoyed this year's Breeders Cup race's, highlighted by Zenyatta's remarkable win in the Classic. But this really was a weekend that showcased a great deal of female talent. Other than Zenyatta, the next biggest performances for me over the weekend were Informed Decision winning the F&M Sprint, Goldikova defending her Mile title, and Life is Sweet winning the Ladies Classic. Of the male's, I think Conduit repeating as champion in the B.C. Turf sticks out the most to me. A very classy and competitive horse that will have this championship as a great caper to a great career. But I'd also like to throw a shout out to a couple of 2nd place finishers. In the B.C. Turf, I thought Presious Passion would run himself out of the race but he showed a ton of heart digging in a taking Conduit to the edge and hanging on for 2nd against two very good horses in Dar Re Mi and Spanish Moon. Also, imo, enough can't be said about the game performance that Gio Ponti put up in the Classic. Even though losing to a superstar in Zenyatta, Gio Ponti looked as tough over the pro-ride surface Saturday as he has in some of his turf races. So prop's to Presious Passion and Gio Ponti for their terrific efforts on Saturday. · 1318 days ago ·

They went 1¾ miles, and yet it was only an inch or two that separated victory from defeat Friday in the $454,500 Breeders' Cup Marathon. On the wire, it was the aptly named Man of Iron beating Cloudy's Knight in an exciting opening to the 2009 Breeders' Cup series at Santa Anita.Read More
With royal breeding, Man of Iron just outgamed Cloudy's Knight to the wire in the Marathon to kick-off the card at Santa Anita. Heavily favored Mastery was third.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
Time to take a look at the Breeders’ Cup Marathon. This race has been moved to BC Friday (Nov 6th), and at this stage it is one of the most wide open contests of all the Cup races. It will be run fourteen furlongs over the Pro-Ride surface. Read More
