What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

A quick wit gets trainer Derek Ryan through his work days. Schoolyard Dreams can provide him with a keen sense of direction today in the 30th annual Tampa Bay Derby, the $300,000 signature event on Tampa Bay Downs Festival Day.The 1 1/16-mile race attracted seven 3-year-old colts and serves as a key...Read More
If you can't get excited about racing this weekend, I don't know what to tell ya. Saturday is action-packed from coast to coast and I know I'll be glued to my computer with racing form in hand all all afternoon. Let's take a trip around the US and A, in the Space Shuttle to see what's in store....Read More
Musket Man made a successful return in his first start since back-to-back third-place finishes in the first two legs of last year's Triple Crown, winning the Super Stakes by a half-length at Tampa Bay Downs Feb. 6Read More
Musket Man won the Super stakes at 2-5 at Tampa today. Will be interesting to see where he goes next.
In a sequel that promises as much excitement as Neo, Morpheus and Trinity created several years ago, Musket Man is returning to the races in 2010. He kicks off his season in tomorrow’s The Super Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs. In the nine months since Musket Man last ran, he became somewhat forgotte...Read More
Really looking forward to seeing Musket Man back in action! He can be a serious player in the handicap ranks this year.
Musket Man, winner of the 2009 Tampa Bay Derby (gr. III) and Illinois Derby (gr. II), and third place finisher in both the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and Preakness Stakes (gr. I) will make his first start of the 2010 season in the $75,000 Super Stakes Feb. 6 at Tampa Bay Downs.Read More
As dawn breaks today, a new decade of thoroughbred racing launches at Tampa Bay Downs. The Oldsmar oval's 84th season, a 91-day meet that runs through May 2, 2010, begins with infectious enthusiasm after the previous era ended with a couple of high-fives.Read More

Trained by Gary...Read More

  • horses · The Haskell will be a great race with Papa Clem, Musket Man and Summer Bird all looking in that direction.... · 259 days ago
  • GBeret · I'm a Musketman fan. Have been all year. I like Summer Bird solely because I had him $10 ATB in the Belmont and won $199. I've seen Papa Clem run alot this year and other than the Arkansas Derby he always seems to be a bridesmaid and never a bride. The horse I think people should watch out for in the Haskell, given his most recent preformance is Big Drama. · 258 days ago
Musket Man, third in both the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) and Preakness (gr. I) this spring, returned to the track June 24 as he starts preparations for the $1 million Haskell Invitational (gr. I) on Aug. 2.Read More
  • GBeret · I really wish all the best for Musket Man". I love this colt, he's all heart. He has a nose for the finish line and always runs his tail off to get there. · 259 days ago
All the obvious thoughts on this year’s bizarre, but memorable Triple Crown have been discussed regarding the major players. But there were unsung heroes as well who did not wind up in the winner’s circle, yet contributed to the memories.Read More
With the three-year-old spring season in the books, let’s look ahead to the 2nd half of the year. Other than Rachel, the 3yo division lacked quality pace players in the Triple Crown series. I am looking for late developing sorts and quality early/pressing types to step up in the coming mon...Read More
Mine That Bird, the 2-1 morning line favorite for Saturday's Belmont Stakes, and superstar filly Rachel Alexandra, whose future plans are still uncertain, have been contacted several times by Monmouth Park officials about the possibility of racing in the Aug. 2 Haskell. The responses from both camp...Read More
After finishing third in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) and BlackBerry Preakness Stakes (G1), Musket Man will receive a short vacation before targeting the Haskell Invitational Handicap (G1) on August 2 at Monmouth Park.Read More
  • ruby · Too bad, I was hoping he could go for three 3rd's in the Triple Crown... Like Mane Minister did. · 300 days ago
  • invasor · Seems he would be better suited to the traditional route distances so probably a good move. · 299 days ago
It does not take a doctorate in the art of calculating speed figures to determine that Rachel Alexandra is a gifted and fast filly. Yet in Saturday’s Blackberry Preakness Stakes (G1), the question that begs an answer is whether she’s too fast or she ran too fast. There’s a huge difference in the two...Read More
The pace dynamic in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes is interesting. Big Drama has speed from the rail but is taking the blinkers off, presumably to relax him a bit more early. Rachel Alexandra has speed if needed, and with the outside post, she’ll have to use some of it. Read More
Haskin: Rachel Alexandra made a grand appearance... At first she seemed antsy, bullying her way out on several occasions, but settled down nicely after being moved to another stall.Read More
Today at 5:00pm ET, post positions (and jockeys) will be determined for the second leg of the Triple Crown. And once Rachel Alexandra is in the field, the exclusion controversies go away, and it's time to dive into the many story lines.Read More

  • Duvalier · Lucky #13 for Rachel Alexandra. Borel should be able to keep her in the clear from out there...question will be how much ground will she lose. · 308 days ago
  • invasor · Other than Big Drama, Rachel has no one else to clear. With the long run to the first turn, the 13 hole should pose no problem. · 308 days ago
