  • Floridaf · 60 days in or not, it's ALWAYS fun to talk about the Eclipse Awards, especially if you pick a winner this early. It's just like talking about the Superbowl before the NFL season gets off the ground good. Brian, I'll root for Mr. C until he faces my guy, Ultimate Eagle. ;-) · 86 days ago ·

In the first of the Sunshine Millions Day races exclusively for California-breds, Compari, handled by Hall of Famer Smith, split horses in midstretch to score as the even-money favorite in the $100,000 Sensational Star Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs over Santa Anita’s hillside turf course. Read More

Overcoming a less-than-alert start, Mr Gruff was impressive in his comeback, defeating Compari and six others in the $67,650 Night Mover Stakes Friday night at Hollywood Park.   Making his first appearance since trailing in the Al Quoz Sprint March 26 at Meydan Race Course in the United Arab Em...Read More
Friday night’s Pick 6 from Hollywood Park features the $60,000 Night Mover Stakes for 3-year-olds and up dashing six furlongs on the turf course.

Regally Ready shoots for his third straight win and is the strong even money choice in Saturday's Grade 3 San Simeon Handicap at Santa Anita Park. Steve Asmussen's fleet sprinter got the feel of the downhill course in a solid show finish on Jan 1 and he has not looked back since. He exits back-to-ba...Read More
The romantics were lined up to add Rail Trip to a short list that includes only Native Diver and Lava Man, the lone multiple winners of the Hollywood Gold Cup. Instead, Awesome Gem was added to another short list, the 7-year-olds who have won the race. Native Diver joined both lists in 1966, when he...Read More
A thirteenth appearance in a Grade or Group 1 race turned out to be lucky for Awesome Gem as the 7-year-old upset heavily-favored Rail Trip to win the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup Saturday at Hollywood Park. The 8-1 surprise in the day’s biggest race was one of many in the latter half of the card, s...Read More
  • medlocke · I certainly give David Flores a ton of credit for the tactics he used in this race. Diving Awesome Gem down to the rail to save ground, then getting Awesome Gem to respond well, and run on very stoutly through the stretch. But you can't overlook the fact that Rail Trip was 7lbs. heavier than Awesome Gem in the race. Coupled with the fact that Rail Trip was hung out about 4 wide the entire race. Still, coming off the last turn, it looked like Rail Trip was going to be off to the races. But Awesome Gem ran a gallant stretch run himself. Finally banking the first Grade 1 success of his career. After more than a few near misses over the years. But top to bottom, I still believe the weight differential and how wide of a trip Rail Trip got throughout the race was more of a deciding factor in the outcome than was how well Awesome Gem ran in the Hollywood Gold Cup.

  • gardenesque1 · There is no doubt that Rail Trip was best in the Gold Cup. It turned into an odd event after Tres Borrachos blew the break. There was no separation and Rail Trip took the worst of it from a trip standpoint. Still, it was nice to see Awesome Gem get his grade one. · 685 days ago ·

Global Hunter edged pacesetter Temple City to win the $150,000 American Handicap on Sunday at Hollywood Park. Unfortunately, the 7-year-old Jade Hunter horse out of the Telescopico mare Griffe de Paris took a bad step while pulling up after the finish line. The stewards reported the Argentine bred ...Read More
  • medlocke · It's a real shame that Global Hunter took a misstep galloping out after winning the American Handicap and broke his ankle. He gave a very solid effort to get up and win this race. IMO. It appears on the replay that he just took a bad step right when he was starting his gallop out after the wire. Similar to what happened to the filly Eight Belles. Just not on such a drastic level, thank goodness. I think it's probably pretty likely that Global Hunter's racing days are now behind him. JMO. · 689 days ago ·
