What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

With Winslow Homer off the Kentucky Derby trail, which new 3-year-old has entered the top twelve? 1. Buddy's Saint - Some are knocking his big Beyer Speed Figure drop from the Nashua to the Remsen, but he was coming back in only three weeks after popping a 101 Beyer and figured to regress. Runner-up...Read More
It was a big afternoon Saturday for trainer Todd Pletcher’s powerful stable with the stunning, track record performance of Quality Road in the Donn Handicap (G1) minutes after Take the Points’ big effort finishing first in the Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap (G1) before he was disqualified by the ste...Read More
It's that time of year again. Turf writers, handicappers and bloggers get an extra early start on predicting who will be in the final field of 20 on that first Saturday in May. Is it premature? No doubt. Is the field set in any way? Not on your life. But ...Read More
As the Kentucky Derby trail heads into February, the WinStar team has been as giddy as young Clara receiving the nutcracker from Uncle Drosselmeyer in the opening party scene of “The Nutcracker.”Read More
Edward P. Evans’ 4-year-old homebred colt Quality Road breezed an easy half-mile in 49 4/5 Sunday morning at Palm Meadows for trainer Todd Pletcher ahead of his role as the likely odds-on favorite in next Saturday’s $500,000 Donn Handicap (G1) at Gulfstream Park. A Virginia homebred son of Elusive ...Read More
A quiet week at Down and Derby Central with no changes among my Top 20. Things will change next week with considerable action, highlighted by the first major prep in California, the Robert B. Lewis Stakes. Expected entrants include American Lion, Tiz Chrome, Hawaiian Springs, Dave In Dixie, and Cara...Read More
In my last Derby post, I stated that a new player (Take Control) had arrived on the scene. Unfortunately, the Baffert trainee has shin problems and needs a few months to recover, so he’s off the Derby trail. Barn also has Conveyance, who had to work for his San Rafael (G3) tally on Jan 16th. He will...Read More
Two potent armies are gathering en masse on opposite ends of the country. Their objective: Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May. The generals: Bob Baffert, who is assembling a large force on the slopes of the San Gabriels, and Todd Pletcher, who is matching him horse for horse, with his main...Read More

Evans’ 2009 Florida Derby (G1) winner Quality Road worked five furlongs in 1:00 1/5 Sunday morning for trainer Todd Pletcher as he continues preparation for his next start in the $500,000 Donn Handicap (G1) to be run on Sat.,  Feb. 6 at Gulfstream Park. The 4-year-old Virginia homebr...Read More

  • mdracing69 · Eskendereya went two turns in his turf route bow at the Spa, and he earned a 96 late pace fig in rallying place finish. Promising sort needs graded earnings.Both wins on dirt at a flat mile around one turn. · 28 days ago
  • cigar · The thing is GP has not been kind to the inside, and he was "the most inside" for part of that race. We'll see. Very early. · 27 days ago
Bob Baffert has already begun checking off items on his “Things to do” list for the 2010 Kentucky Derby trail by working Lookin At Lucky in blinkers, with the intention of adding them for the colt’s first start. As consistent a winner as Lookin at Lucky has been, it seems he’s even better with the b...Read More
The end of the year has arrived, and this is my final derby Top 10 of 2009. All Derby hopefuls turn three on January 1st, and as we inch closer to the first Saturday in May, a new player (Take Control) has arrived on the scene. Read More

  • thedodge · Take Control is to green to make the Kentucky Derby his next start is going to be an allowance race. He needs the seasoning and will lack the graded stakes money also to make the derby a horse needs a good mind and talent. He is talented no doubt about it maybe second half of the year that's my guess. · 30 days ago
  • thedodge · As for Baffert be absolutely loaded, I don't thing so from the two i liked one Clutch Player died the other Tiz Chrome he's bred to route acts like an old pro has run fast 97 beyer yes only 6 1/2f. My worry with him he has short legs maybe he's the next Northern Dancer will have to wait. For the other's Tiny Woods Sprinter no doubt, Conveyance Dr. Steven Romans says Indian Charlie his sire and Holy Bull his dame sire are intermediate Speed (non chef-de race). And in conclusion Looking At Lucky has'nt run that fast so i'am not buying. · 30 days ago
The Run for the Roses, Christmas, for any self respecting race fan, is only 16 weeks away! By now you are all familiar with the plan, Zipse at the Track will fill out the Kentucky Derby starting gate with 20 horses, in three categories...Read More
Trainer Todd Pletcher's laundry list of Kentucky Derby prospects grew a little larger following Eskendereya's 1 1/4-length victory over Thank U Philippe in a good field of entry-level allowance horses here Thursday.Read More
Ran a nice race pulling away from this allowance field covering the mile in 1:36 3/5. He did get a pretty easy lead, going the first quarter in 24.78 and got the half in 47.78 for the straightaway. Came home in a solid 25 seconds, but had the benefit of a tailwind in the stretch.
  • mdracing69 · Solid start to Eskendereya's 3yo campaign. He can build on this winning effort. · 32 days ago
  • cigar · Pletcher wants him to go longer... one mile not the choice next time. · 31 days ago
Welcome back to Triple Crown Talk. I look forward to helping everyone get excited about the 2010 Kentucky Derby and providing information about the leading contenders. I already know there will be lively discussion, so I'm not worried about that.Read More
Eskendereya seized the lead out of the gate and never relinquished it en route to a clear victory under jockey John Velazquez in a one-mile allowance race for three-year-olds at Gulfstream Park.Read More
Big race on Thursday for a weekday... definitely some future stake prospects lining up in South Florida.
