What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Karelian...

Although the phrase "what a difference a year makes" is a tad trite, in the case of Grade 1 winner Karelian, it is also very much true. The records show that the handsome bay horse retired from racing with 10 wins from 22 starts and earnings of $788,675, but that is only part of his story. In 2010, ...Read More
Grade I winner Karelian, who sustained a life threatening injury in July, has been released from Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington.Read More
  • luvzenyatta · I hate the ugly dark side where owners and trainers abuse and mistreat them. Sure is heartwarming to read a story where they loved their animal enough to get him this kind of extraordinary care. I didnt' think he could survive the injury. Now let's just pray that the awful laminitis stays away!Good luck and many prayers to Karelian and Green Lantern Stables:) · 995 days ago ·

Making his first appearance in a Grade 1, Victor’s Cry used a strong finish to earn a surprise win in the $249,500 Shoemaker Mile on Monday at Hollywood Park.   The 67th running of the Shoemaker was the last of three stakes on the Memorial Day program, following the $66,000 Willard L.

Compari, who made a successful transition to the graded stakes ranks when taking the Arcadia Handicap on April 3 at Santa Anita, will step into an even tougher spot in the $250,000 Shoemaker Mile on Monday at Hollywood Park.   A Grade 1 on the turf, the Shoemaker is one of three stakes on the ...Read More
Trainer Julio Canani hopes the pace is fast for his stretch-running Blue Chagall as the veteran conditioner seeks a record-equaling fourth victory in the $250,000 Grade I Shoemaker Mile on the turf Monday at Hollywood Park. “Blue Chagall worked Monday and is doing great,” said Canani Thursday. “The...Read More

With a victory in February over Gio Ponti in the Tampa Bay Stakes, and a new Stakes record in the Maker's Mark Mile, Karelian has certainly announced himself as a player in the drive for champion turf horse in America for 2010. Granted, there's still a long way to go in the racing season, but Karelian has certainly gotten himself off to a running start on any other contenders. IMO.
Several prospects for the Coolmore Lexington Stakes had their final pre-race workouts Saturday, including Distorted Dave, a John Sadler-trained colt who figures as one of the top contenders for the Grade 2 race. The $300,000 Lexington will be run Saturday at Keeneland as the unofficial last stop bef...Read More

Karelian may have been named for a comic book character, but he will be all business in the TVG Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT).Read More
Karelian has had just four starts in the last two years, a spotty record that has made aiming for races such as Saturday's $2 million Breeders Cup Mile at Santa Anita seem like a far-fetched plan.That changed on Oct. 10 when Karelian finished second at 10-1 in the Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile at Keene...Read More
