What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Najjaar...

Dark Cove, 4 ¼-length winner of the Elkhorn (Grade II) in his most recent start, tops a field of nine 3-year-olds and up entered for Saturday’s 76th running of the $100,000-added Louisville Handicap (GIII) at 1 ½ miles on the Matt Winn Turf Course at Churchill Downs.Read More
Saturday’s $150,000 Razorback Handicap (G3) drew a competitive 10-horse field featuring some familiar horses to Oaklawn fans, including last year’s winner Alternation, Donoharm, winner of the Fifth Season and Essex this season, and two of last year’s top 3-year-olds, Najjaar and Atigun. Read More
I thought he looked good yesterday at OP, finished well.
Najjaar, last seen finishing third in the Arlington Classic, is back in training at Oaklawn with a long-term goal of running in the Oaklawn Handicap.

  • Floridaf · He's run more times on dirt than he has on turf/synthetics combined, and his two wins were on the dirt. · 165 days ago ·

  • Mary Z. · That's why he (and this is meant in good humor) owes me $15, because why shouldn't Najjaar have been making up ground with those 26+ fractions. Deceiving unless one looks at the slow fractions. Now I do. · 165 days ago ·

Welcome to the last Derby dance Saturday! While the Arkansas Derby itself seems to be coming up lighter than in recent years, there are some BIG names running at the "Spa of the South" tomorrow.Read More
  • 12thCrown · Already changed my long-shot picks after a few more hours of study - I like Cozzetti as the sleeper pick but think Isn't He Clever will be tough with his stalking style. Good luck all! · 406 days ago ·

The Oaklawn Park 3-year-olds take their final steps toward Kentucky Derby 2012 in Saturday’s G1 Arkansas Derby and Bodemeister and Secret Circle share top billing for trainer Bob Baffert. #11 Bodemeister is the 9-5 morning line favorite.

Shadwell Stables' Najjaar races, works and pretty much lives his life taking his time early before getting going in earnest. Trainer Danny Peitz and jockey Calvin Borel have come to expect that and so were happy with the Arkansas Derby (G1) contender's five-furlong breeze Friday morning at Oaklawn.Read More
With a third straight Rebel Stakes (G2) victory sealed thanks to Secret Circle, Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert was eagerly looking forward to the $1 million Arkansas Derby (G1) next month at Oaklawn.Read More

The Arkansas sophomores take another step on the road to Kentucky Derby 2012 and morning line favorite Secret Circle will be tough to overhaul in Saturday’s Grade 2 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park.Read More
Trained by John Servis and ridden by Stewart Elliot, both of Smarty Jones fame, Adirondack King has been nothing but solid since adding Lasix last September. Following three sharp wins at Parx Racing to close out 2011, the son of Lawyer Ron has run a couple of sneaky good races this year. A strong f...Read More

  • Cardly Knot · If Secret Circle runs back to the form of his SouthWest win, he'll be hard to catch. Like many, I have doubts getting more than 9f. Sabercat going into a tough race from a lengthy layoff. Union Rags the only one w/ a first from layoff. · 434 days ago ·

Union Rags is still the favorite, and Sabercat is at 25-1 in this week's Kentucky Derby Futures from Lucky's.Read More
Najjaar's past couple races suggest not only is he flying under the radar, that he may be one of very few 'come from behinders who may pull an upset or 2. And look who has the mount! Perhaps not in the KY Derby, TC spoiler in the Belmont !
