In a most unlikely turn, Santa Anita Park and The Grateful Dead have collided today on ZATT. Do yourself a favor and throw a little Dead on the stereo, sit back, and start handicapping The Great Race Place's long weekend of racing ... for the Showvivor begins tomorrow!Read More

The top females thoroughbreds are some of our favorite and most memorable. Zenyatta, Ruffian, Rachel Alexandra. Genuine Risk, Go For Wand and Personal Ensign. Twilight Tear, Gallorette and Regret. All time greats, every one of them. But who belongs in the top 10? Who belongs at the top? Jump on now ...Read More

  • New York Vinnie · cocoa2 - many will never forget Landaluce. Me included. She was a sweet, black coated two year old filly out of Seattle Slew that captivated the west, having won five races by almost 50 lengths. She won her first race in 1:08 then came back a week later and won a Grade 1 race by 21 lengths in 1:08:1. Her last three races as a two year included race run in 1:21, 1:35 and 1:41. Uncle Mo, on the other hand, ran a 1:34.6 and and 1:42 in a mile and a mile and a sixteenth, and was considered the second coming of Spectacular Bid and Seattle Slew. Landaluce will never be forgotten. · 112 days ago ·

  • Woodbine · mshutty: The bulky field makes it seem better, but how many of these horses belong in BC Turf? Admittedly, the big money and the G1 bring quite an eclectic bunch out of the woodwork. The International has done wonders for the Stockholm Invitational! · 224 days ago ·

She is the only horse ever to win three Breeders' Cup races of any kind. In three months she will no doubt be favored to win an almost unbelievable fourth consecutive BC Mile. She races against males more often than against her own gender. As if we needed any more proof of the greatness of Goldikova...Read More

  • KyOaksRunner · I really hope the turf comes up firm for the Prix Jacques le Marois in a couple of weeks, that would make Group 1 #15 if she wins! Rooting for her all the way. · 298 days ago ·

Very tough mare with little current attention paid to her.
  • protagonist · I agree with you Larry, Dahlia was awsome back in the 70's , she even beat the boys . Just as these newcomers talk about Zenyatta, back then there were fantastic fillies and Dahlia was one of them. I think I hear Striesand warming up with "The Way We Were". looking back brings back some fond memories! · 249 days ago ·

With her scheduled start against older males in the Woodward Stakes (gr. I) Saturday, Sept. 5, Rachel Alexandra is taking a path seldom traveled by 3-year-old fillies.According to research done by National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame historian Allan Carter, Summer Guest is the only 3-year-old ...Read More
