What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about J W Blue...

Has is first Turf race today under Chad Brown and I think he'll thrive on the surfacey and get the win.
After 2 years he finally won and looked great.
He's back on Friday in the 7th race under new trainer Chad Brown.
Not seen since his 5th place finish in the G2 Pennsylvania Derby, J W Blue makes his next start in an AlwOC race on Jan. 1 at Gulfstream Park. The race will the 7th on the card that day.

  • MichaelPavelick · Looks like his 4th place finish might be a sign that a mile effort was a little long based upon a long string of 1/2 mile workouts. Be interesting to see what surface he will race on next. · 508 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · I forgot to factor in his running style. GP has been favoring speed, and Blue is a closer. But I am interested if his trainer will wheel back the distance some more for him. · 508 days ago ·

Belmont Stakes winner Ruler On Ice, most recently 4th in the Travers, has been installed as the 5-2 morning line favorite for Saturday's Pennsylvania Derby from Parx Racing. Read More

  • CauseForConcern · As for the rain forecast, Ruler On Ice does have the experience, but, THAS has never been over a sloppy oval. His sire has produced 30% mud winners, which is a very high percentage. So, therefore, despite the fact that he's never seen a sloppy track, I believe he might be there, based on his sire's mudder% winners. Let the race begin!!!! · 609 days ago ·

  • Protagonist · Hey Coggins whoo's laughing now, THAS, proved to be the key foe in Stakes Record Time! Ruler On Ice did have something to say ,he finished second, and Rattlesnake Bridge was Third! Where is Rush Now? His Rushing Skills are about as good as the Chicago Bears,as they couldn't contain GREEN BAY! · 605 days ago ·

  • CauseForConcern · Brian Zipse: I don't know if you recall, but four weeks ago, you named Stay Thirsty the Horse Of The Week, and I had made a suggestion that To Honor And Serve was deserving IMO. He proved me right today. Hope you give me consideration. · 606 days ago ·

  • jinlie01 · My pick is THAS..ROI (especially off track) and RR are the main competition. The only question is why JVelasquez is opting to ride RR instead of THAS. At least Lezcano has ridded him before at 2. · 609 days ago ·

Denied a sweep of Arlington Park's Mid-America Triple by a strong European contingent in the August 13 Secretariat S.

Stay Thirsty was my original top ranked colt when I first started tracking the current three-year-old class almost a year ago. He was a bit slow to develop this year but started coming into his own with a place finish in the G1 Belmont Stakes, followed by back-to-back Saratoga tallies in the G2 Jim ...Read More

  • MichaelPavelick · It also seems like the trainer of J W Blue has SAVED his immature colt for a LATER 3 year old CLASSIC race. This trainer came up with a BIG surprise in the Alabama with Pinch Pie. I'm interested in feedback about the Jockey Trainer combination on J W Blue? · 640 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · J W Blue is a deep closer this track is killing these kind of horses. I would say not on the board I like Rattlesnake Bridge in the exotics. Coil is the key to the race as you said , can he get the distance if he does then it'd him and ST if not it's ST.Shackleford, and I'm going to put in a tri and super that way with 4 under. I make a lot of plays Mike because a race usuallydoesn't go the way you handicap it on paper but Baffert is not going to run his horse against the bias. For me Stay Thirsty keeps getting better so I'll stay with him, thow insome exotics.GL · 635 days ago ·
