What the Nation is saying about Maximus Ruler...

Conditioner Steve Margolis saddled a training triple on Santa Super Saturday at Fair Grounds, including a win with Clark Brewster’s Cherokee Queen in the $75,000 Blushing K. D. Handicap, and remained upbeat Sunday morning despite the compromised start of Richard, Bertram and Elaine Klein’s Country D...Read More
Don Benge’s Maximus Ruler, runner-up in the Grade III Lecomte Stakes last January 23 on Fair Grounds’ 2011 Road to the Derby Kickoff Day, may be the longest shot in the morning line for Saturday’s $75,000 Tenacious Handicap, but he may also have the biggest upside.   After what was initially di...Read More
Don Benge’s Maximus Ruler, the 3-year-old Roman Ruler colt that broke his maiden in a two-turn allowance race at Churchill Downs Nov. 28, is probable for the upcoming Grade III Lecomte Stakes Jan. 23, trainer Clark Hanna confirmed Saturday.   The Lecomte, which carries a $100,000 purse, is the...Read More

Richard, Bertram and Elaine Klein’s Stay Put, fifth in Fair Grounds’ Grade II Risen Star Stakes Feb. 20 despite a troubled trip, breezed a half-mile in 49.80 Thursday morning at Fair Grounds and remains on track for the upcoming $750,000 Louisiana Derby on March 27.   “So far, so good,” said tr...Read More
What a tremendous field for today’s G2 Davona Dale at Gulfstream, with all eight fillies being viable contenders. While breaking down the race for Derby Prep Alert over at Hello Race Fans and exploring past results, I was intrigued by the impressive later careers a number of winners and place-getter...Read More
Don Benge’s Maximus Ruler, runner-up behind Ron the Greek in Fair Grounds’ Grade III Lecomte Stakes Jan. 23, will not run in Saturday’s Grade II Risen Star Stakes after coming up with a slight injury following a breeze Sunday morning at the New Orleans oval.“He didn’t want to place his right hind fo...Read More
Maximus Ruler was not entered in the Risen Star Stakes, apparently due to a bruised foot. More info soon on that, but too bad this came out the day after the Derby futures closed, since he was one of the 19 single betting interests. The Risen Star drew a field of 12. Lecomte Stakes winner Ron the Gr...Read More
Don Benge’s Maximus Ruler, runner-up in Fair Grounds’ Grade III Lecomte Jan. 23 after inheriting an unwanted pacesetting scenario, breezed five furlongs in 1:02.60 Sunday morning in preparation for next Saturday’s Grade II Risen Star Stakes as the showcase race on Louisiana Derby Preview Day.  ...Read More
Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra is due to run at Fair Grounds in the New Orleans Ladies March 13, but well before that – on Feb. 20 – the Crescent City oval hosts Louisiana Derby Preview Day, featuring six stakes races on the same day, four of which are graded.   Serving as the centerpiece ...Read More
Winslow Homer joined my top ten list on January 25th,  but his Derby trail run is over after a stress fracture in his cannon bone was discovered late last month. His defection leaves an open space on my list, and I have decided to fill it with Drosselmeyer...Read More
It's that time of year again. Turf writers, handicappers and bloggers get an extra early start on predicting who will be in the final field of 20 on that first Saturday in May. Is it premature? No doubt. Is the field set in any way? Not on your life. But ...Read More
A few years back when interviewing Tony Dutrow, he told me he was in the racing business to make money and that every horse was for sale. Now that he has WINSLOW HOMER on the Derby trail for julep-yearning owner Rick Porter, it will be interesting to see how his philosophy changes now with a sip of ...Read More
With its long home stretch, the Fair Grounds has sometimes been called a closer’s track. Ron The Greek certainly did nothing to disprove that reputation. Last of 10 after a half-mile in the Lecomte Stakes (gr. III), the Jack T. Hammer homebred had just one horse beaten at mid-stretch. But at the wir...Read More
Winslow Homer made his stakes debut in the Holy Bull with only three starts to his credit, but he was well-regarded despite the limited credentials, leaving the starting gate as the 7-2 co-second choice in the wagering. The Tony Dutrow-trained colt received a 106 BRIS Speed in his previous start, a ...Read More
In my last Derby post, I stated that a new player (Take Control) had arrived on the scene. Unfortunately, the Baffert trainee has shin problems and needs a few months to recover, so he’s off the Derby trail. Barn also has Conveyance, who had to work for his San Rafael (G3) tally on Jan 16th. He will...Read More
Jockey James Graham (Ron the Greek, winner): “He has a big kick. He does what you tell him to do. If you want to go he’ll wait until you pull the trigger. He ran big.” Trainer Tom Amoss (Ron the Greek, winner): “We really thought he had a good chance today. For the horseplayers that like to examine ...Read More
Two potent armies are gathering en masse on opposite ends of the country. Their objective: Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May. The generals: Bob Baffert, who is assembling a large force on the slopes of the San Gabriels, and Todd Pletcher, who is matching him horse for horse, with his main...Read More
Jack T. Hammer's homebred RON THE GREEK (Full Mandate) bided his time in the rear of Saturday's $100,000 Lecomte S. (G3) at Fair Grounds, came widest of all in the 10-horse field into the stretch and powered home to be 1 1/2 lengths clear of pacesetter Maximus Ruler (Roman Ruler) on the line. Sent o...Read More

  • arazi · Cigar, I agree. Nice to win a Derby prep, but you don't teach your horse much that way. And I think this horse has a few things to figure out. And Torres is a better rider than that. Didn't turn out so well for Desormeaux and Piscitelli. Dare we say, a rider change has been announced on Piscitelli? · 843 days ago ·

A 9-race program will be run on Sunday at the Fair Grounds. Cloudy morning skies figure to give way to afternoon sun with a high temperature of 67. Pick six carryover of $3,892. Three grass races are on the schedule, including an interesting finale for maiden claiming 3yo fillies. Settling Seas is t...Read More
Saturday finale, race 13, ended at 6:25 - five ours and 15 minutes after the opener this afternoon. I think I might've seen some good horses today, but there were so many races stretched over such a long time, it's a little hard to remember. Main track quick enough, but not lightning-fast. The Gaudi...Read More
