  • AndyScoggin · It was quite a meeting at Gulfstream. Seven likely Derby starters ran well at Gulfstream: Hansen, Union Rags, Dullahan, Gemologist, Take Charge Indy, Trinniberg, and Went the Day Well. · 385 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · Horse of the Meet is now officially included! Matt, it was a great meet, and I was fortunate enough to see both the Swale and the Gulfstream Park Handicap. Later this week I will likely have a piece up on the Derby chances of the seven colts you named. · 385 days ago ·

A cursory glance at the past-performance lines of Exclusive Love might lead handicappers to assume that she is a filly with a history of physical problems. The many gaps between her races, though, have nothing to do with soundness and everything to do with weather. “She’s The Rainmaker,” said traine...Read More
The 136th Kentucky Oaks is just one week away.

  • KyOaksRunner · It certainly looks like she'll have the best shot of the long-shots to take down the favorites but she's not my win pick as of now. I loved how she was flying in the Fair Grounds Oaks, a swift and sustained drive....kind of the like the female version of Nehro maybe? :) · 750 days ago ·

R Heat Lightning completed her Kentucky Oaks preparations on Saturday with a good looking four furlong breeze under the Twin Spires.   The likely Oaks favorite completed her morning move in :48.20, which was 7th best of 60 works at the distance.

  • DeadHeat · Royal Delta could be one to watch, coming into her third off a layoff -that is almost always a good play.- R Heat is my top, she has just matured sooo much physically and mentally. · 755 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · Certainly can't argue against choosing R Heat Lighting, she's done nothing wrong so far and is looking very strong in her works! I'm kind of intrigued with Royal Delta as well, if she makes the field she could be an interesting pick for the exotics. · 754 days ago ·

  • LDP19 · Kath does not impress me on dirt/syns as much as she does turf. Though most versitile turf runners, ie. Einstein tend to transfer well to CD dirt couse well. I have no idea what happened to Dreams. Maybe she is a CD lover??? I know she won at Keenleland, but that was a maiden and not a grade one. If she goes to the Oaks she'll be, IMO a bit of a wild card. Will she return to her dominating form that she showed over that track or will she not be able to step up again. R Heat has a big performance over the track, only Awesome Feather -unbeaten in 6- wore her down. She can lead or close -Spinaway.- and she has been the most dominant up to this point. Joyful Victory has Larry Jones which scares me because that man can tain like no other. Hard Spun and Proud Spell are proof of that. · 771 days ago ·

The 137th Kentucky Oaks on May 6th is stacking up to be one of the deepest and most diverse fields in history. Of the nine fillies on today’s list six are graded stakes winners, three have posted consecutive wins, 7 have never finished off the board in their last three starts and one is undefeated. ...Read More

  • KyOaksRunner · It's always hard determing if a horse will get 10 furlongs but as far as preps go this year the fillies have been far more impressive than the males aside from The Factor and Premier Pegasus. It would be interesting to see some match ups later in the year. · 775 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · It's going to be a fantastic race, and what a great field entered in a race that honors one of the greatest 3-year-old fillies of all time. I think Kathmanblu is the class of the field though Inglorious is pretty intriguing. · 826 days ago ·

Kathmanblu has left no doubt as to whom America’s leading sophomore filly is in 2011, regardless of the surface. To start out the year she came from well off the pace to win the Sweetest Chant Stakes on the turf and on Saturday she took control of the Rachel Alexandra Stakes (gr.3) at the head of th...Read More

In 2007 a beautiful chestnut filly by A. P. Indy broke from the gates in the third leg of the Triple Crown, stumbled badly and almost fell to her knees. Barely missing a beat she picked herself right up and went on to become the first filly in more than 100 years to win the Belmont Stakes. She defea...Read More

  • mshutty · Great blog, Brian! Welcome to HorseRacingNation! Really like this list you have put together. Keep an eye on Zazu, She's gangly, clumsy sort right now but she's all power and when she matures a bit and puts it all together, this will be a good one. She's fun to watch race. · 830 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · Thank you very much! I love Zazu and think she is maturing at exactly the right time, I love how she seemed to improve with each of her last races in such easy progression. If she ever gets into the starting gate with Dancinginherdreams it could be a really nice race to watch, both closers and both appear white. · 830 days ago ·
