Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott sent out Proviso for a half-mile breeze in 47.12 this morning, her first work since winning the Grade 1 Just a Game on Belmont Stakes Day, Saturday, June 5.   “She looks good and has been doing fine,” reported Mott. “So far, so good.

In the wake of Florida Derby weekend at Gulfstream Park, trainer Todd Pletcher continues to coast on a clear lead in the standings as he bids for a seventh consecutive title here and jockey Javier Castellano holds a narrow lead in the rider standings, although a major shake-up on that leader board ...Read More
Makes 4yo debut in Wednesday's third at Gulfstream.
Trainer Bill Mott has Hold Me Back entered in Wednesday third race allowance feature at Gulfstream Park going one mile in his first start since a disappointing sixth-place finish as the 4-to-5 favorite in the Kentucky Cup Classic (G2) at Turfway Park on Sept. 26 last fall after the Travers.

THE INTRIGUE - The 140th running of the Travers didn’t feature Rachel Alexandra, who most believed at the time was the best 3YO of either sex, but the winners of the Belmont, Florida Derby, Lane’s End, Jim Dandy, Dwyer, Peter Pan, and Barbaro made up the field of seven.Read More

  • mshutty · And the BC organization has no one to blame but itself. Remember when we all had a collective moan when it was announced that the BC would be held at Santa Anita two consecutive years? Our disdain for this idea is justified. I agree wth mdracing...what do the connections of Rachel have to prove. The only risk to the HOY honors is running in the BC and getting beat. If you owned/trained Rachel, what would you do? · 298 days ago

  • mdracing69 · This seems like a great spot for the all-weather loving Hold Me Back. Would like to see him go on to the BC Classic if he uncorks a big effort at Turfway. · 309 days ago
