What the Nation is saying about Furthest Land...

Get Stormy dictated the pace and was never seriously threatened in a 2-3/4 length tally in the Grade 1 Maker's Mark Mile at Keeneland on Friday. Rainy weather produced a good turf course and Get Stormy set tepid splits of :24.61, :49.31, and 1:14.01. Workin for Hops tracked the pacesetter throughout...Read More
Court Vision, runner-up in last year's Maker's Mark Mile, is back for more in the 2011 renewal of the flat mile grade one turf event at Keeneland on Friday. The six-year-old horse, trained by Rick Dutrow, packs a strong late kick when on his game. He has captured two of his last ten starts and both ...Read More
With the experience of the Kentucky Derby (G1) now two weeks in the rear-view mirror, the pair of "Run for the Roses" participants trained by Mike Maker -- STATELY VICTOR (Ghostzapper) and DEAN'S KITTEN (Kitten's Joy) -- returned to serious training on Saturday at Churchill Downs' Trackside Louisvil...Read More
There is always plenty to talk about after the Dubai World Cup. This year, with the multi-billion-dollar Meydan Racecourse making its prime-time debut, there’s even more to talk about than usual.Unlike the misnamed Breeders’ Cup World Championships, the Dubai World Cup program truly is a "world" eve...Read More
THE first Dubai World Cup at billion-dollar Meydan ended in a dramatic finish as last year's runner-up Gloria De Campeao (Pascal Bary/TJ Pereira) just held on in the tightest of three-way photos. Representing French trainer Pascal Bary, the six-year-old - a 16-1 chance with British bookmakers - took...Read More
  • medlocke · The photo between Gloria De Campeao and Lizard's Desire is so close, even after seeing it several times, I really don't know how they didn't come to the conclusion that the 2010 Dubai World Cup was a dead heat. Allybar was also right there in between GDP and LD, just missing by a whisker himself. Gio Ponti got up for fourth, but had to go very wide to do so. Just nosing out Mastery at the line in a very close finish for 4th and 5th. Gitano Hernando got boxed in on the rail and had a terrible trip. He looked full of run, but never really got to unwind it. By the time GH did get into the clear, it was far too late. The two biggest disappointments of the race, to me, were Twice Over and Vision D'Etat. Vision D'Etat, one of the best international stakes horses in the world, clearly did not adapt to the Tapeta synthetic surface and finished far back. It was VD first lifetime start off of the turf. · 684 days ago ·

  • Medlocke · Gio Ponti did get a real good Post Position draw for the 2010 Dubai World Cup. Drawing P.P. #4 out of 14. The last time I checked on attheraces.com a few hours ago, Vision D'Etat from P.P. #6 was the 4-1 favorite. Twice Over drew P.P.#11, and had initially been the favorite until he drew wide. Twice Over was second choice at 11-2. Gio Ponti and Gitano Hernando from P.P. #2 are both 6-1, all on the parimutuel. Mastery had been 6-1, but drew wide also getting P.P #12. He's now at 8-1 with Gloria De Campeao from P.P.#5. · 686 days ago ·

  • Rossington · I've never seen Vision D'Etat race over any surface except turf in his racing career, so I really don't know what to expect out of him over the Tapeta surface at Meydan. I will say this, that other than a poor finish in the 09' Prix d' le Arc', he's been one of the most "clutch" racing for big money Group or Grade 1 horses in the world in 2009. With victories in the Prix Ganay, The Prince of Wales Stakes, and the Pacific Hong Kong Cup, beating a star-studded field that yielded Presvis, Collection, Ashalanda, and Eagle Mountain but to name a few. He also has one 2nd place finish to Spanish Moon in the 09' Prix Foy, and one 3rd place finish to Trincot and The Bogberry in the 09' Prix harcourt. If Vision D'Etat adapts and run's well over the Tapeta surface, Gio Ponti and Twice over, already proven stayers on synthetics, may be his only real challenges. But if he struggles on the surface, as did Prix Neil and Arc 3rd place finisher Cavalryman, than the race may become a wide open one. JMO. · 695 days ago ·

The decision by Fair Grounds to rearrange its stakes schedule and push the Louisiana Derby back to March 27 did much more than simply motivate Gulfstream management to move the Grade 1 Florida Derby up a week to March 20 to avoid a potential head-to-head conflict between the two races.

Furthest Land, last-place finisher as the 3-5 favorite a month ago in his first race since capturing the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (gr. I), can make amends Feb. 7 in the $150,000 San Antonio Handicap (gr. II) at Santa Anita. Read More
The role of leader for the $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 6 is up for grabs. Either the $200,000 Strub Stakes for 4-year-olds next Saturday or the $150,000 San Antonio Handicap next Sunday should help fill that role.Read More

  • Medlocke · Who in the world would have thought that a horse like Furthest Land, that was able to beat the 2008 B.C. Dirt Mile winner in Midshipman, and the Irish 2000 Guineas and St. James Palace Stakes winner Mastercraftsman, would finish dead last to Neko Bay, Spurrier, Nownownow, Bold Chieftan, Goldsville, and Cherokee Artist on the very same track just two month's after beating those Grade 1 winner's in the 2009 B.C. Dirt Mile? Racing is a funny game sometimes. · 759 days ago ·

Saturday’s pick six from Santa Anita Park includes the Grade 2 San Pasqual. Breeder’s Cup Dirt Mile winner Furthest Land is the one to beat. He is 3 for 3 over synthetic ground and should sit a decent stalking trip. Partly cloudy skies are expected with a high temperature of 77.  Read More
