What the Nation is saying about Made For Magic...

Ike and Dawn Thrash's Florida-bred Emmy Darling, a major stakes winner two summers ago when she won the Landaluce Stakes at Hollywood Park, took command after the break and never looked back in accounting for Del Mar's feature Thursday, a one-mile event for older fillies and mares.   Well-rated...Read More
Undefeated champion mare Zenyatta --  a perfect 17-for-17 in a stellar career thus far -- Wednesday was entered to race at Del Mar in the Grade I, $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes on Saturday.   Mr.-Mrs. Jerome Moss' strapping 6-year-old daughter of Street Cry not only will be going after...Read More

  • cugel the clever · "an outcome that has been called the best Breeders' Cup race ever, as well as one of the greatest performances in the history of the sport." Z is a great horse, but this kind of over the top hyperbole is absurd. Z's win over a mediocre field of males was NOT one of the best Breeder's Cup races ever and certainly NOT one of the greatest sports performances. I could cherry-pick many better Breeder's Cup races, but Awesome Again's victory in 1998 against probably the best Classic field ever assembled (Skip Away, Silver Charm, Swain, Victory Gallop, Coronado's Quest, etc) was a far, far better race against far superior competition. http://www.breederscup.com/greatestmoments.aspx?year=1998&divisionname=classic · 1022 days ago ·

Though run down by Zenyatta in Santa Anita's Grade I Santa Margarita Handicap in March, the appropriately named Dance to My Tune provided quite a challenge for the two-time champion older female's surging late-run style.   Dan Ward, assistant to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, thinks the front-run...Read More
Early returns show that Zenyatta, expected for next Saturday's Grade I, $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes, will have at least three foes in the 1 1/16-mile race on the main track.   The 6-year-old daughter of Street Cry will be in search of her third straight victory in the Hirsch. With a win ...Read More
Multiple graded stakes winner Sidney’s Candy will make his first start since the Kentucky Derby on May 1 when he takes on four other 3-year-olds in the $200,000 Swaps Stakes Saturday at Hollywood Park. The Swaps, which is run at 1 1/8 miles over Cushion Track, is one of a pair of Grade II races on ...Read More
Trainer John Sadler aims for his third straight victory in the $150,000 A Gleam Handicap for fillies and mares Saturday when he plans to send out Emmy Darling in the Grade II test at seven furlongs.   Emmy Darling, a 4-year-old chestnut filly, scored her only other added-money victory here in ...Read More
Rachel Alexandra, under a confident ride by Calvin Borel, toyed with her four rivals in Saturday's Grade 2 Fleur de Lis at Churchill Downs. Jessica Is Back broke on top from the outside post under Garrett Gomez. At that point, Borel eased Rachel to the outside to contest the pace. The reigning Horse...Read More

  • grey32 · There's dirty little secret that no one will speak of, Zen doesn travel because she doesn't travel well and her connections are afraid to upset her tooo much. She thrives in her own enviroment but; gets upset with strange places. None of the will say it out loud, don't plan on seeing her out of Cal before the BC. · 1073 days ago ·

  • humphrey · History will repeat itself. Read Hillenbrands book on Seabiscuit and the trouble in setting up the match is exposed for all to see. Same thing here: what distance? what surface? when? EVERY major match race of tthe twentieth century from Zev/Papyrus to Foolish to Tyepcast/|Convenience has gone to the front runner so any race would have to have a field of at least 7 to satisfy any resemblance of a fair contest. It won't happen unless it is the Breeder's Cup and the RA crowd won't want 10 furlongs. · 1073 days ago ·

Rachel Alexandra will be a huge favorite when she faces just four other fillies and mares Saturday at Churchill Downs in the Grade 2, $200,000 Fleur de Lis Handicap, a race in which the 2009 Horse of the Year will be seeking her first victory as a 4-year-old. Calvin Borel will be aboard Rachel Alexa...Read More

  • mdracing69 · I agree medlocke. There is pressure on Rachel to win and look good doing it. If she goes down in flames her racing career may be over. Hope she bounces back with an impressive score so the Rachel-Zenyatta dream race can get back on track. · 1076 days ago ·

  • grey32 · medlock - this is one of those time that I agree 100%. Today is either a new beginning or the end. There is no question about it, no excuses, no tears, no bull. I do believe that her grueling campaign last year and the absurd incompetence by her connections this year may have or have hurt this fine mare. People really don't understand how grueling her campaign last year were and how reckless her lack of training were this year. Clown who bash a horse as though she actually had some input or was consulted in any of this, who insinuate that somehow she plotted to cheat some other horse, just makes me crazy. She's a horse try to please her handlers, doing the best she can with whats going on around her. She is a great horse and nothing anyone says or does changes that. It amazes me that so many are willing to shame themselves by bashing a horse, if you mad or angry bash her connections. Celebrate the horse. · 1076 days ago ·

Saturday’s pick six from Churchill Downs includes a carryover of more than $57,000 (races 6-11). Five Graded races are part of the sequence including the Grade 1 Stephen Foster Handicap for 3-year-olds and up traveling nine furlongs on the main track.

Among other things, a horse race is a test of speed and class. The Grade 2, $200,000 Fleur de Lis Handicap, the first of five graded stakes to be contested Saturday at Churchill Downs, is about those things, for sure. It also is about something more. The race, not a strong betting contest due to its...Read More

Trainer A.C. Avila had a realistic outlook on Made for Magic's win in Sunday's Grade 2 Milady Handicap. "This is not the toughest division," Avila said. He meant it's not the toughest division when Zenyatta stays in the barn. Made for Magic, a $16,000 claim last summer, earned her first graded stake...Read More
Unbeaten champion Zenyatta will spot eight rivals from 12 to 19 pounds as she begins her quest for Horse of the Year honors in 2010 in the $250,000 Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap (gr. I) at Santa Anita March 13.Read More

  • amfuller · Ok I feel a little better about the weight, I looked back at the Vanity and with the exception of Life is Sweet, which was carring 122, the other entries were btw 13-18 lbs lighter. Things can be different on any given day but this makes me feel somewhat better about the wieghts for today. · 1167 days ago ·

  • grey32 · First I'm glad Zen's lousy connections finally realize what a terrific horse she is and now are going to let her prove it. Instead of trying to cheat their way in. Second there's way to much made of the weight, remember Zen is a very big girl and she most likely out weighs her rivals by 100-200 pounds or more. She's up to the task. Maybe this year she will run as she should have last year(no fault of hers) and HOY will be hers. RA was hands down HOY 2009, doesn't mean she was the better horse but; she sure had a better campaign. · 1167 days ago ·
