What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

It was a big afternoon Saturday for trainer Todd Pletcher’s powerful stable with the stunning, track record performance of Quality Road in the Donn Handicap (G1) minutes after Take the Points’ big effort finishing first in the Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap (G1) before he was disqualified by the ste...Read More
Even-money favorite Custom for Carlos overcame the sloppy going at Gulfstream Park in the Mr. Prospector Stakes (gr. III) Jan. 9, seizing the lead at the top of the lane en route to a three-quarters length victory.Read More
Mr. John Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith’s 4-year-old Munnings, ranked among the nation’s leading 3-year-old sprinters last year with victories in the Woody Stephens Stakes (G2) at Saratoga and Tom Fool Handicap (G2) at Belmont Park, is set to make his 2010 debut as the likely favorite in ...Read More
The 2009 King’s Bishop was headlined by Munnings, who was cutting back in distance off of a 3rd place finish behind Rachel Alexandra in the Haskell at Monmouth Park.  He was to be joined by Vineyard Haven, the 2008 Hopeful and Champagne winner, who was making his first start in North Ameri...Read More
Quality Road will not run in Saturday's Grade 1 Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile at Aqueduct, his connections said Wednesday afternoon. After Quality Road became unruly at the gate and cut himself, necessitating that he be scratched from the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita on Nov. 7, trainer Todd Pletc...Read More
  • Rossington · If Saturday's Cigar Mile Handicap does have the possibility of an off track, then I think it wise to hold off running Quality Road over it. This is a colt that really need's a race that will restore confidence. His last two start's have been over an off track, and though his talent was able to pull him through to a show and a place finish in both, he clearly did not perform, imo, to his best ability on an off track. I think waiting for a fast, dry track will suite him much better and give him a much a better chance of finding the winner's circle. jmo. · 75 days ago
Big Drama and Munnings should each relish a cut back to their ideal distance of seven furlongs, but in addition to dealing with each other must contend with the likes of Capt. Candyman Can, Vineyard Haven, and a host of other talented sprinters Aug. 29 in the $300,000 NetJets King's Bishop Stakes (g...Read More
  • Medlocke · Big Drama and Munnings are two of the best in the business at this distance, or 8 furlongs for that matter, but this race just shows how some horses, no matter how good, just don't run well in the slop. · 116 days ago
From August 26,2008 through October 3,2009 this horse has had 10 starts and was only out of the money 1 time with a record of 10-3-2-4. Leading me to think that he's one of the best sprinters in horse racing right now. I'm not sure what his future plans are, but if he goes Breeder's Cup Sprint, he may be the only other horse in the field with even a shot at the best sprinter in racing right now, Zensational. Finishing in the money on 9 out of 10 races in the last 10 months, you'll get a decent price and I'd say it's safe to assume if he runs in the Breeder's Cup Sprint that he'll at least hit the board.
The connections of Kodiak Kowboy didn't come into Saturday's Grade 1 Vosburgh thinking of using it as a prep for the Breeders' Cup Sprint. But their horse gave them a few reasons to reconsider by running down Fabulous Strike in the final 70 yards to win the $400,000 Vosburgh by a half-length at rain...Read More
The decision as to whether or not Fabulous Strike will be sent to California for the Breeders' Cup has not yet been made. For now, the focus is squarely on the $400,000 Vosburgh, where the 6-year-old son of Smart Strike will have to face a short but stellar field of sprinters Oct. 3 at Belmont Park.Read More
After standing in the gate, Belmont S. (G1) and Travers S. (G1) winner SUMMER BIRD (Birdstone) opened up through the stretch during his gallop at Belmont Park Wednesday morning, and schooled between races in the afternoon as trainer Tim Ice put the finishing touches on the colt's preparations for Sa...Read More
It’s been far too long since I updated this little spot but the racing season goes through a bit of a lull between the start of the Belmont meet and the beginning of the final Breeders’ Cup prep season.  Read More
A trio of contenders for the Oct. 3 $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup (gr. I) had their final tune-ups for the 1 1/4-mile race on a busy morning at Belmont Park Sept. 26.Read More
  • rossington · if it's not muddy i like quality road's chances to win this race on a dry track. but he'll get some stiff competition from summer bird and macho again. · 133 days ago
Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr., reported on several of his top horses Sept. 25 from Aqueduct, including Paul Pompa Jr.'s Futurity (gr. II) winner D' Funnybone, whose next start is still up in the air.Read More
Capt. Candyman Can gained victory in the $300,000 NetJets King's Bishop Stakes (gr. I) when the original winner Vineyard Haven was disqualified for drifting out into the path of his challenger in deep stretch on a "sloppy" Saratoga main track Aug. 29.Read More
Rachel Alexandra took down the boys again, and she did it easily in the Haskell (G1) over a sloppy track on August 2nd. Nothing that happened on Sunday was a surprise.  Read More
A story about Rachel Alexandra seems out of place in a column about the Breeders' Cup, but who cares. That's between Jess Jackson and the Breeders' Cup decision makers. Even though there will be no launching of the Rachel rocket on Nov. 7, it's still fun to "count down" to the imaginary blast off.Read More
Rachel Alexandra cemented her status as the best three-year-old and, perhaps, the best female horse in the country with a spine-tingling performance under regular rider Calvin Borel in the $1,250,000 Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1) on Sunday at Monmouth Park.Read More
In addition to the 2-year old results detailed below, the Kitten's joy filly Humor Me Rene (Kitten's Joy - Star of Humor by Distorted Humor) finished 2nd at Cork in Ireland. She has now run 4 times and finished 2nd once and 3rd once.Read More
Filly superstar Rachel Alexandra justified her 1-to-5 favoritism in the Haskell Invitational with an easy romp over Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird in front of a crowd estimated at 41,000 at Monmouth Park.Read More

  • arazi · We noticed the same thing and agree it was strange that he hit her a few times... a tremendous win. As a bit of trivia, I'm wondering when was the last time that a Triple Crown race winner beat the winners of the other two TC race legs... as far as I can tell, it hasn't happened in 20 years... · 190 days ago
  • cigar · I'll bet it's because doing cart wheels and backflips on the horse down the stretch is frowned upon... she's awesome though. · 190 days ago
Today the best filly since Ruffian takes on yet another challenge [albeit with a nice weight advantage] in the Haskell.Read More
