What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

Buyers at the 2008 Keeneland September yearling sale who stopped by the Taylor Made Sales Agency barn to inspect Hip 1738 would have been looking at a bay colt by leading sire Smart Strike out of a young mare bred and raced by William S. Farish in partnership ...Read More
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
  • cigar · Summer Bird won the Travers but was lengths behind Rachel Alexandra in the Haskell. · 54 days ago
Godolphin Racing’s highly-touted 3-year-old Girolamo overwhelmed Kensei after a brief stretch duel and scored the $150,000 Jerome Handicap (gr. II) by 1 1/4 lengths Oct. 11 at Belmont Park in his first stakes appearance of the season. Read More
  • Medlocke · This was a race I really thought there was no way that Kensei could lose. But when he went to the gas tank in the stretch, all empty. Girolamo easily ran by him and Kensei didn't even have enough left to hold off Burley's Gold for second. I had seen Kensei run a few times this year and he's a big colt that usually runs big. But not this day. · 119 days ago
Rachel Alexandra is enjoying her well-deserved vacation at Saratoga following an arduous and ambitious campaign that culminated with a memorable victory over older males in the Woodward Stakes (gr. I). The daughter of Medaglia d'Oro will ship back to Churchill Downs on Tuesday, Oct. 6.Read More

Thirty-two nominations are pretty good for a race that, up until six weeks ago, wasn't even on the schedule. Thistledown officials Sept. 23 said that's the number of nominees for the grade II Ohio Derby Oct. 3. The purse is $150,000, down from $300,000 last year.Read More
Summer Bird secured his place atop the 3-year-old division with his resounding victory in the slop in the $1-million Shadwell Travers Stakes.Read More
Summer Bird was not near the back like expected, but it didn't matter. When the field turned for home, the dual classic winner pulled away to an impressive win in the Travers Stakes.Read More
The Grade 1 $1,000,000 Shadwell Travers Stakes or "The Summertime Derby" is Saturday at Saratoga. There are seven horses entered and try as I could, I just could not bring myself to go against #4 Quality Road.Read More
With more than an inch of rain in the forecast overnight and into tomorrow, an off-track appears likely for the $1-million Shadwell Travers (gr. I) Aug. 29 at Saratoga.Read More
Six others will try and knock the rising Quality Road down as he goes favored in Saturday's Travers Stakes at Saratoga. The field lost Mine That Bird earlier in the week but still boasts the Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird and another rising star in Kensei. Forecasts are saying a wet track is a st...Read More
It's a sign. No, I'm not describing the picture to the left. I'm talking about the bird poop that landed on my left shoulder today during my afternoon walk with the Space Kid and my trusty dog, TannerRead More
A pair of quarter cracks may have kept Quality Road out of the Kentucky Derby (gr. I), but nearly four months later the record-setting 3-year-old will get his shot at the next best thing -- the Mid-Summer Derby.Read More
The Grade 1 Travers Stakes will not have filly sensation Rachel Alexandra, but it is looking like a solid field of eight for the $1 million showcase at Saratoga on August 29th. Read More

I) on Aug. 29. “The race is coming up extremely tough,” said McLaughlin. “We talked about the Pennsylvania Der...Read More
  • cigar · I suppopse I don't blame yeah. If Rachel doesn't go, and MTB opts-out, an on-the-board finish is more than reasonable. · 170 days ago
 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird had a slow five furlong drill at the Spa on August 17th, and a subsequent exam revealed an entrapped epiglottis. Minor surgery on Tuesday corrected the breathing issue, and he remains possible for the Travers (Aug 29th). He will head back to ...Read More
Horse racing's second season hits a high point Aug. 29 with the running of the $1-million Shadwell Travers Stakes (gr. I) at Saratoga, and this Saturday at Saratoga seven 3-year-olds will assemble for the 46th running of the $500,000 Jim Dandy Stakes (gr. II).Read More
