  • AnnaK · Jerry Bailey's comment about his BCC win that Drosselmeyer was like a bike, if you stop pedalling he stops running was pretty interesting. All that durable clay that just needed a lot of kneading. He was a lovely 2yr old at Keeneland, can imagine maybe a good broodmare sire? Something that shows up further on down the line. · 29 days ago ·

If looking silly is going to be the objective -- well, they probably could look even sillier, couldn't they? They could say they're not going to Oaklawn Park because they don't like the corned beef sandwiches, or they could complain the hot springs there are just too, too, too hot.

He won two grade 1 races in some of the slowest times ever recorded for those races on a fast track.

Maybe our link to stamina. I hope he throws nice ones for a long time, WinStar takes care of their horses.
Plans for recent Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) champion Drosselmeyer were finalized on Nov. 18, and the 4-year-old son of Distorted Humor has been officially retired to stud and will stand his first season in 2012 at WinStar Farm in Versailles, Ky. His fee will be $17,500 stands and nurses.“Drosselm...Read More

  • MarcelloMarocco · Frankel won 4 Group 1's(vs the BEST at this distance) and a Group 3 at the start of the year. Dross won one GR1 and a Listed stakes......but also finished behind ( A sprinter) Jackson's bend in the GR3 Skip away....this horse is not of the same Caliber. Frankel beat how many multiple GR1 winners?.......beating a sorry Dirt field in the last Classic doesn't propel you to the top... · 99 days ago ·

I have just finished reading the book Bred to Run, by Mike Helm. It is about Mike’s account of a one-week visit to Claiborne Farm in 1992. In a 1:1 interview with Seth Hancock, Helm indirectly asked, why is there no stamina in US bloodstock anymore? Seth had some very interesting theories, one of wh...Read More

  • cugel the clever · Simple law of supply and demand. Most of the big-money and big-prestige races are at 10 furlongs or less. The biggest races on the calendar for older horses and late-year 3yo races should be at 12 furlongs or more. That would certainly bring stamina back into the breeding and training philosophy of the sport. · 102 days ago ·
    like
  • cugel the clever · A good start would be to move the Pacific Classic, Santa Anita Handicap, Breeders Cup Classic, and Travers to 12 furlongs; and to make the BC Marathon one of the premier races with a purse of at least 2 million dollars instead of its current status as a freak show novelty race which attracts grade 3 stakes winners and optional claimers. · 102 days ago ·

Here are my picks in my favorite Eclipse Award Divisions. I am trying to enjoy what 2011 gave us before heading into the 2012 Road to the Roses, but that has been hard to do with the Sham Stakes already in the book. But I managed to find a little time to think Eclipse Awards. Read More

  • DeadHeat · I would say Grace gets it again for horse of the year. However, I do think 2012 will end the female streak. The male division looks loaded with some nice horses coming back in PrePeg, MMM, Nehro, AK, Trickmiester, etc. You also have many nice three year olds looking to step up. · 140 days ago ·

Also, the farmcam is an awesome idea to show fans a behind the scenes point of view.

Where have those 120 Beyer horses gone? I miss them. You should, too. When I broached the subject of this column to Andrew Beyer, he said it was going to be depressing reading. True enough, but also, hopefully, educational. I have questions. Perhaps, somebody has answers. Read More
