  • atamulonis · Loved Ever So Lucky and Empire Way. I think next year will be the year of the letter 'E,' as I mentioned in a blog I wrote. That could be overly sentimental, but there are some good 2-year olds whose names start with 'E' (Eblouissante and Exfactor being two of the other ones). · 85 days ago ·

What's the old saying? “Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.” Trying not to fall into that trap, I've decided to pour over my memory bank of Belmont's Past to better prepare myself for tomorrow's outcome. In so doing, I have found winners of previous runnings that have an awfu...Read More

  • djp4567 · I like your comments but going to have to go with the chalk in this one. Animal Kingdom just looks too good for this field. If he stays close to the pace he should run away with it. Late closers rarely win the Belmont so don't get caught up too much on the distance thing... · 241 days ago ·

The year 2009 will best be remembered as it pertains to the Kentucky Oaks by Rachel Alexandra’s jaw-dropping 20 ¼ length victory, but one other very significant ritual was inaugurated for the 135th running of the Kentucky Oaks.

  • 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. · 357 days ago ·

Hip No. 182, a filly by Empire Maker, is the all the buzz at the Fasig-Tipton 2YO sale in Florida. 
JUDDMONTE has sold its US-based stallion Empire Maker to the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders’ Association. Though the sale terms remain undisclosed, it is likely to have taken a large offer for Juddmonte to relinquish Empire Maker. With his first crop only five years old, the stallion has been represented...Read More
Her mother might have been a three-time graded stakes winner on the grass, but don’t tell that to Royal Delta, who has joined the New York Watch by virtue of her dominant first-out score on the dirt October 30 at Belmont Park.

  • ruby · Agree that Icon Project is a monster... and if she doesn't bounce in the Spinster and comes into the Ladies Classic on a roll... then the race goes through her, not Zenyatta. · 859 days ago ·

  • medlocke · Icon Project is definitely one of the "now" fillies. Still, though, I think she'll have to bring her very best "A" game to beat Zenyatta. If Zenyatta runs against the girls and not the guys. Say what you will, the big "Zen" just has a nose for the wire and knows how to find it. Another filly I'm interested in seeing again, despite a long layoff, is Stardom Bound. I don't see her beating Icon Project or Zenyatta but I wouldn't be surprised if she were to hit the board in the Ladies Classic. · 858 days ago ·
