III); Odysseus’ return from the dead to snatch victory in the Tampa Bay Derby (gr. III)...Read More

  • rayphil83 · I dont think he is getting enough respect right now..He ran a hell of a race for the trouble he had. · 21 hours ago
  • gardenesque1 · Agree. Lookin At Lucky had every reason to go down in flames making dirt debut in needed outing. He overcame a less than ideal trip and showed wht he was voted 2yo champ. · 21 hours ago
Following a "March Madness" style weekend on the track there was plenty of movement in this week's NTRA Thoroughbred Polls released the afternoon of March 15.Read More
The champ showed why he is the champ Saturday at Oaklawn. Not only did Lookin At Lucky handle the variables of first conventional dirt, first blinkers and first race on the road in the Grade 2, $300,000 Rebel, he also overcame a tangle approaching the final turn to get up for a head win..Read More
  • railbird33 · My favorite 3YO starting this year, BUT the memories of Point Given and Curlin remind me that 3YO can't make up lost training time or two starts before amile & a quarter. Baffert has done a terrific job with this colt. · 23 hours ago
In his play  Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare wrote of the title character’s impending misfortune, “Beware the Ides of March.”  Perhaps such a warning could have been given by trainer John Shirreffs to trainer Steve Asmussen before Zardana was to take on Rachel Alexandra in the inaugural...Read More
LOOKIN AT LUCKY (Smart Strike), last year's juvenile colt champion, couldn't have gotten much more out of his neck victory in Saturday's $300,000 Rebel S. (G2) at Oaklawn Park. In one fell swoop the Bob Baffert trainee proved he could handle dirt, overcame adversity both at the start and on the back...Read More
In the past seven graded Triple Crown preps contested at Oaklawn, five have contained at least one starter based on the California synthetic tracks. Of those five Oaklawn invasions, the West Coasters own four wins and a second-place finish. Keep that in mind as you analyze Saturday's Rebel and recal...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
Uh Oh Bango, the runner-up to Rule in the Grade 3, $750,000 Delta Jackpot in his last start Dec. 4, breezed at Oaklawn on Friday in preparation for next Saturday's Grade 2, $300,000 Rebel. Others considered probable for the 1 1/16-mile Rebel include Grade 1 winners Noble's Promise and Dublin. Cardif...Read More
  • nbanks · Uh Oh Bango means alot to the facing fans here at Turf Paradise in Phoenix Arizona.. We will be watching and pulling for "George " in the Rebel · 4 days ago
  • arazi · Uh Oh Bango has a big shot on Saturday. He gave Rule everything he could handle at Delta. Bango will sit right off the speed and inherit the lead when it wilts. If he's ready, he may not stop. · 4 days ago
Oaklawn has drawn a seven-horse field for its Grade 2, $300,000 Rebel Stakes on Saturday. It will be the 50th running of the race, and it has a scheduled post of 5:47 p.m Central. The Rebel will go as the 10th on an 11-race card Saturday. Lookin at Lucky will add blinkers for the Rebel....Read More
Ol Memorial Stable and C.E. Glasscock’s Soaring Empire  was impressive winning a seven-furlong allowance race at Gulfstream Park in his 3-year-old debut on Feb. 25 for trainer Cam Gambolati and will make the fourth start of his career and first around two turns in the $750,000 Florida Derby (G1...Read More
Noble's Promise has raced exclusively on synthetic and turf surfaces to this point in his career, but there are reasons to believe that the Grade 1 winner might be an even better horse on dirt. More will be learned Saturday, when Noble's Promise runs in the Grade 2, $300,000 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn ...Read More
Lookin At Lucky's future is so bright, he's got to wear shades. The champion 2-year-old of 2009, Lookin At Lucky will be adding blinkers Saturday when he makes his first start of the year in the Grade 2, $300,000 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Lookin At Lucky, who is based in Southern California, was...Read More
Kentucky Derby watchers everywhere have passed the point of no return.  Inside of eight weeks, it is put up or shut up time.  Connections and horses are now in full scramble mode to prove that they have what it takes to make a serious run for the roses. Yesterday we saw impressive runs...Read More
Lewis Schaffel’s 4-year-old Kentucky homebred colt Sal the Barber won the Calder Derby (G3) in mid-October before a disappointing 10th-place finish in the Hollywood Derby (G1) in late November in his last start of 2009, and is set to return for another campaign in Sunday’s ‘three other than’ optiona...Read More
Saturday might be a good time to kick off a two-prep campaign for the Derby. Last year Mine That Bird made his first start of the year Feb. 28, while the year previous Big Brown kicked things off March 5. Street Sense opened his two-prep slate in 2007 on March 17. Average them together and what do y...Read More
One of the things I really like about Steve Munday's Derby Dozen (editors note: I'm a participant so this is totally biased) is the use of the Roman Numeral for his bi-weekly Volumes. Now typically only Olympiads and Super Bowls are allowed to use this status, but I think it's cool that we have some...Read More
There are so many top 3-year-olds who still have questions to answer it makes it tough to come up with a list of 12 horses each week that you’re perfectly happy with.   There are always going to be horses you’d love to include who just haven’t done quite enough to warrant supplanting the more a...Read More
While many of the leading Kentucky Derby candidates stabled in south Florida ran here Saturday afternoon in the Hutcheson and Fountain of Youth, another member of that elite group, Noble's Promise, did his major work earlier that morning when he worked four furlongs in 48.40 seconds for trainer Ken ...Read More
  • DebbieM · I became a big fan of Noble's Promise after watching him race in the Breeders Cup Juvenile. I hope he will continue to do well. Best of luck to Noble and his connections. · 17 days ago
A handful of graded events were contested on Feb 20th, and the performance of the day belonged to my new number one Derby contender…Eskendereya. The Todd Pletcher trainee came into the ‘Youth off a sharp allowance score, and the early-pressing sort went off as 3rd betting choice behind Buddy’s Saint...Read More

  • mdracing69 · Jackson Bend - Part of exacta all 8 starts. Hard knocker reminds me of '96 Preakness winner Louis Quatorze (also Zito). Dublin had a solid start to 3yo campaign. · 20 days ago
  • mdracing69 · As for Rule, I have a rule. Pletcher cannot take up more than 30% of my list...lol. · 20 days ago
