  • Zenyatta-Perfection Personified · Just a thought: did SYT have any excuse for getting beaten by Cirrus Des Aigles? If not, it seems that CDA proved he was the better horse and was thus voted champ older horse. And Danedream is awesome. · 76 days ago ·

An already excellent year just got a whole lot better for the 15-year-old stallion Montjeu. The Coolmore stud had a great career on the racetrack with 11 wins in only 16 starts. The European champion won such big races as the 1999 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Irish Derby, Prix du Jockey Club as well a...Read More

After he let his class show at Ascot back in June, winning the G1 Ascot Gold Cup. Fame and Glory's had a couple of very disappointing races since. An unexpected loss to Fictional Account in the Irish St. Leger Trial, and a very lackluster effort in the G1 Irish St. Leger, where he faded to a distant 4th place. But Fame and Glory was back to his best again at Ascot in winning the Champions Long Distance Cup over 2 miles. Beating his old Gold Cup rival, Opinion Poll. Who had won the Goodwood and Lonsdale Cup's, and a Doncaster Cup 2nd since his Gold Cup run. I really felt like Fame and Glory was the class horse in the race today. He's had by far more G1 success than any of the other horses in the Long Distance Cup field. I was happy to see an effort like this again from Fame and Glory. I was starting to wonder after seeing him suffer back to back losses if that grueling 2-1/2 mile Gold Cup run hadn't taken more out of him than anyone really knew?

  • icyhotboo · I actually started in harness racing where the distance was a standard mile. Making the transition to thoroughbreds was very difficult for me because of the distance factor so at first I stayed only with graded stakes at 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 mile then eased my way in but only as a bettor. I never owned a thoroughbred other than one cheap claimer at Finger Lakes. · 111 days ago ·

Going back to the 2010 season, Fame and Glory had won 7 of his last 8 races. His last defeat came when he finished 5th in last year's Arc De Triomphe under a troubled trip. Fame and Glory has already banked the Vintage Crop Stakes and the Saval Beg Stakes in Ireland, plus the G1 Ascot Gold Cup so far in 2011. But his run of undefeated came to an abrupt end at the Curragh today. As the mare, Fictional Account, defeated Fame and Glory by a neck in the Irish St. Leger Trial raced over 1-3/4 in Ireland today.
Is Aidan O’Brien loaded this year? Are baked potatoes with cheddar cheese, bacon, garlic, butter, and sour cream loaded? Let’s just say that dish is not nearly as rich as the Master of Ballydoyle, whose success in less than four months of racing might be considered bordering on obscene by rival trai...Read More

  • medlocke · What a sublime performance by Fame and Glory in today's G1 Gold Cup at Ascot!! Many people, myself included, had doubt's about whether or not Fame and Glory would stay the 2m 4f trip? But this horse stayed every bit of that trip on testing ground that probably made the horses feel like that went more like 3 miles. Ultra impressive performance. Just no other way to say it. Every horse in the field were stellar stayers in their own right. So for Fame and Glory to win so convincingly on such soft ground may make this Gold Cup win just as impressive as any that Yeats won, IMO. · 232 days ago ·

Each year, it seems the Breeders’ Cup Turf (gr. IT) paints the same bleak picture for the American grass horses. Whether it’s Conduit, who captured the last two BC Turfs, or the 10-1 Red Rocks in 2006, or the 1,2,3,4 Euro blitz in 2005, the Americans have had a tough time defending their home turf. Read More

  • medlocke · Difficult, but not impossible. Goldikova is still on top of her game. But she has lost a step from her 2008 and 2009 Breeders Cup Mile-Turf victories. I think the 2010 B.C. Mile-Turf will prove to be Goldikova at her most vulnerable in any of her three attempts. If Sidney's Candy run's the 8 furlongs of the B.C. Mile anything at all like he ran the 8-1/2 furlongs of the La Jolla Handicap, setting a new Del Mar turf course record for 8-1/2 furlongs in his only lifetime start on turf, I think he has a big chance. He ran those 8-1/2 furlongs like he was in a 6 furlong sprint race. Also, if the Court Vision that showed up and won the 2010 Woodbine Mile run's that well in the B.C.Mile-Turf? He's got a very realistic chance at beating the Euro's as well. I'd say the Euro's have an advantage. But America does have a couple of turf mile contenders in Sidney's Candy and Court Vision that are more than capable of springing the upset. JMO. · 502 days ago ·

Strong Suit was replaced as favourite for next year's 2,000 Guineas when 'mugged' by the strong-finishing Zoffany, who gave trainer Aidan O'Brien his 11th win from the last 13 runnings of The Curragh's Keeneland Phoenix Stakes on Sunday. Read More
  • medlocke · For the people who don't care about the politics of Europe vs. America in the Breeders Cup races. And go to the event for the joy of watching the best horses in the world race. And also bet to make money off of those horses, whether they're from Europe or America? These comments are directed toward you. The Coolmore-Ballydoyle colt Zoffany, trained by Aidan O'Brien, is without question among the very best of the best of the European 2yr.old's. 5 wins in 6 lifetime starts. Zoffany's only loss was in the G2 Coventry Stakes at Ascot. To another top level 2yr.old, Strong Suit. But Zoffany was very badly hampered in the Coventry. Squeezed out between Strong Suit and Galtymore Lad. Ending up finishing 6th in the Coventry. But since the Coventry Stakes. Zoffany has won the Golden Fleece Stakes. A listed race. The G3 Tyros Stakes. Won by Rip Van Winkle in 2009. And most recently, made up for the Coventry flop by defeating Strong Suit with a powerful run in the G1 Phoenix Stakes. Zoffany is a very big and physical 2yr.old. He looks like he's been chiseled from stone. O'Brien will likely send this colt to America for the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf. If he does send Zoffany? As a handicapper who keeps up with European racing as closely as American racing. I strongly recommend a bet on this Ballydoyle 2yr.old. I just haven't seen any American turf 2yr.old's that are in Zoffany's league. He's already a G1 winner as a 2yr.old. · 512 days ago ·

  • mdracing69 · bob46, have you ever considered that Zenyatta is not ducking the competition. Rather, the quality female horses across the country have no interest in running against the win machine. It is not like Zenyatta is running in restricted races. She showed up in the G1 Apple Blossom on dirt. Where was the real competition? Possibly running scared? · 516 days ago ·

  • zenyatta02 · bob46, maybe you should get some reality into your life. This year has been the worst crop of 3yo for as long as I've been watching horse racing. mdracing69 is right. The real competition that hasn't been showing up to Zenyatta's races are running scared because she's just that good. · 514 days ago ·

Cigar, I saw the Ivestec Derby that Fame and Glory ran 2nd to See The Stars. He's a real good looking colt. I'll be watching for him next year as well. I know Rip Van Winkle and Mastercraftsman are getting most of the media spotlight, but 3 of the Euro's I'm anxious to see, if they do come, are Septimus, Delegator, and Gladiatoras. Depending on which website you look up the potential starters on all 3 of these are scheduled to be here.
Looks like the second to Sea The Stars took its toll... looking forward to this one next year. Still young, and no Sea The Stars next year.
