What the Nation is saying about Go For Wand...

don't think that she would've been beaten that day she broke down.
Would've won that Breeders Cup and beaten Bayakoa.

  • larooski · Go For Wand was one of my dad's favorite horses and Bayakoa was one of mine. Dad cried after that race and I felt like crap too. I remember them both winning on BC day the year before at Gulfstream. Very sad. · 35 days ago ·

Many racing fans are prepared to state emphatically that Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra are two of the best, if not THE best, fillies of the past half-century. The list from which to chose, however, is longer than most think. Below is a reminder just how extensive that list is. With almost half the y...Read More

The top females thoroughbreds are some of our favorite and most memorable. Zenyatta, Ruffian, Rachel Alexandra. Genuine Risk, Go For Wand and Personal Ensign. Twilight Tear, Gallorette and Regret. All time greats, every one of them. But who belongs in the top 10? Who belongs at the top? Jump on now ...Read More

  • New York Vinnie · cocoa2 - many will never forget Landaluce. Me included. She was a sweet, black coated two year old filly out of Seattle Slew that captivated the west, having won five races by almost 50 lengths. She won her first race in 1:08 then came back a week later and won a Grade 1 race by 21 lengths in 1:08:1. Her last three races as a two year included race run in 1:21, 1:35 and 1:41. Uncle Mo, on the other hand, ran a 1:34.6 and and 1:42 in a mile and a mile and a sixteenth, and was considered the second coming of Spectacular Bid and Seattle Slew. Landaluce will never be forgotten. · 113 days ago ·

One of my all time favorite horse. !:45 and 4 at Belmot as a 3 yr. old fille, 2 fiths off Secretariats track record.
While doing my daily surf thing the other day, I noticed that a poster on Thoroughbred racing brought up the subject of his Top 10 Fillies of All Time. This got me to wondering, which were mine? So with pen and notepad (remember those?) I began jotting down names. My brain went on tilt when I reache...Read More

  • Thead'or · My favorite filly has always been Landaluce. I'm dissapointed that she has so few votes. In only 5 races she proved herself to be one of the greatest fillies of all time. You can geuss why I'm an avid Rachel fan. She reminds me so much of how Landaluce was. · 506 days ago ·

Today, the Paulick Report received a puzzling email from PETA claiming that the upcoming Apple Blossom featuring Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta would be a 'grueling match race'. They went on to compare the April 9th race to the infamous breakdowns of Ruffian and Go For Wand. It appears that someone n...Read More

  • Medlocke · I think it's great that people care about animals, and what happens to them. But these Peta people are lunatick fringe. Almost borderline terroist in the way they go about accomplishing what they're doing. Hey Peta, wanna see a thoroughbred really break down? Throw he or she in pen, or lock them away in a stall, and tell them they can't do what they were born and bread to do, which is RUN!!! Breaking a horses will to live is far more cruel than one breaking their leg, doing what every fiber of their being is telling them to do. IMO. · 750 days ago ·
