What the Nation is saying about Lucky Chappy...

AIDEN O'BRIEN landed a first blow on Dubai World Cup night when Daddy Long Legs surged home in the UAE Derby to provide the trainer witha first winner at Meydan.

That's a good looking horse.
The Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic winner, Royal Delta, looked phenomenal in Dubai on Wednesday. She has the same look she did before her big win at Churchill Downs in November, and was just striking today when on the Tapeta. As always, our thanks to Cedric Lane for the photos. These and others are a...Read More
Lucky Chappy is on the move … again. A quick peek at the stickers on his suitcase already reveal stays in Ireland, Italy, France, Maryland, Kentucky, and Florida, but it looks like the fun has only just begun for the globetrotting son of High Chaparral.

  • Wildcatter · Watch his next race "live" or the replay might be hard to find. Seems tracks/organizations are cracking down on replays of their races. Why? Makes no sense! The following is a message that has been sent out to several(that I know of) "Youtube" accounts. Seems the sport could use all the "free" promotion/exposure it could get. Here's the threatening message from Gulfstreamracing's Youtube account: "Remove all Stronach Group Copyrighted videos from your site immediately or you will be reported to YouTube Copyright Infringement, this includes any videos from Santa Anita, Gulfstream Park, Golden Gate Fields, Portland Meadows, Laurel Park, Pimlico and Preakness" · 69 days ago ·

  • Randall D Farms · Wow, that was really some duel between Daddy Nose Best and Lucky Chappy! Looks like DNB won the race by one inch.

Last year at this time, Team Valor International was as close to winning the Kentucky Derby as the Indianapolis Colts were to winning the 2012 Super Bowl. Their three top 3-year-olds were all grass and/or synthetic horses, two of whom hadn't even started at 3. The other, Crimson China, had won an al...Read More
