Trainer Bob Baffert struck for the sixth time in the CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park on Saturday, December 17 with Liaison.  The bay colt sat patiently on the rail behind vying leaders, swung three wide in the stretch and held off the late charge of Rousing Sermon by a neck, getting 1 1/16...Read More

  • rorschach1992 · Ahh, sorry about that! Here's my picks: 3yoM: Hansen, I've liked him from the get-go, and think his juvenile was no fluke, he is better than Union Rags and the lot. My dark horse for this award is Creative Cause. 3yoF: Weemissfrankie or Grace Hall. I think as they mature they'll overtake My Miss Aurelia. Older Female: Awesome Feather, if she keeps winning she'll be unstoppable. Royal Delta or Zazu; tremendous potential in both, and both willl be more mature next year. Grace will have to deal with more mature runners in this year's 3yo crop. They'll probably overtake her. Older Male: I like Pegasus, but I want to see how he looks upon returning before throwing him in. So my current pick is Game On Dude, if he stays consistent, he'll be the one to beat. Turf Horse Male: Agreed Mr. Commons, he ran great in the BC Mile, 5th not beaten too much, and could be a force. Another with great potential. Also want to see if Acclamation keeps his form. He'll be in the running if he does. Turf Female: Star Billing, Shirreffs could take both divisions with the two very talented 3yos. She's got as much talent as Mr. Commons. HOY: I'm going with Hansen, I've loved him all fall, and his BC was super impressive. If he keeps his form, he'll be the on to beat. I'm hoping he shows us great things next year. He's my Derby pick, and the one I'll be watching next year. But I think Awesome Feather could be dark horse for HOY, should she keep up her winning ways. No opinion on the 2yos yet. · 67 days ago ·

That could be overly sentimental, but there are some good 2-year olds whose names start with 'E' (Eblouissante and Exfactor being two of the other ones). · 86 days ago ·

The two biggest juvenile races of the year in Chicago racing were run today at beautiful Arlington Park, and it seems a select few in attendance were lucky enough to know the result before the races were even run.

Every single year there is an owner or a trainer that just can’t help but trash talk the competition and this year it is Robert LaPenta. In an interview this morning LaPenta made it quite clear how bitter he is over the lack of respect Dialed In has received compared to the heaps that, apparently, U...Read More

  • annmatt · I agree with Robert! The tom-toms through the Derby Prep season were constantly beating for the "star", Uncle Mo. While Dialed In was quietly going about winning two very important races, and he sat perched near the top, yet nary a word was made about him, not at all. I don't blame LaPenta for being a little ticked....I was ticked and I don't have any ownership concerns. Also, Repole (who I like a lot, BTW), came out and said that Mo will be the "Favorite" in the Derby because he will bring enough money to the track to make it happen! If that isn't throwing down the gauntlet, I don't know what is!!! · 282 days ago ·

  • tiznow · I agree he shouldn't be trashing a horse. No need for that. I big part of me will be pulling for Dialed In as, like many, I loved his maiden and kept watch ever since. I also spent time with him yesterday and he looks phenomenal. Seemed very relaxed with all the backside commotion. I am concerned that with The Factor out, the pace won't be as hot as it would have been to help him out. it will be hot because it's the Derby, but not as blazing now. · 282 days ago ·

  • annmatt · With the question marks noted in this assessment, even if he won the Derby or the Preakness, how does anybody get to the Belmont with this horse? How did he come to be at the top of everyone's list? I'm such a greenie, so am curious and am learning! Just don't get how his race in the Juvenile gets him all this hype, or that there is such high expectations for this horse. He's won some money, mostly I guess from the Juvenile, so he definitely gets to run in the KY Derby. His next race will be at 1 1/8, so again, no indication if he has the stamina, but at least we get to see him around two turns. I guess April separates the men from the boys! · 331 days ago ·

victory Gallop is far better sire than Indian Charlie, he has stamina and strong challenge capability from space, i just looke back the run in the past Kentucky Derrby where he came of space nearly got the winner Real Quit, where Indian Charlie 2l behind third. so i think Jaysito will run exactly the same way as his dad, whether he will win , that got to be seen in the Derby day.

  • footlick · Victory Gallop had decent horses when he shuttled to Australia, I believe. But I would say Indian charlie is the superior sire. As far as Uncle Mo's distance ability, I will wait and see. Certainly Uncle Mo could be good enough to overcome the limitation, but I don't recognize Arch as a distance guarantee yet. And the further back you go in a pedigree, the less influence the blood has. To be honest I haven't really delved into his pedigree. · 307 days ago ·
