Congratulations to Kentucky Derby 2013 hero Orb, and it was nice to see Shug McGaughey saddle his first Derby winner as well. He looks like a runaway locomotive at this point and might be too hot to handle in Preakness 2013.Read More

Orb pleased trainer Shug McGaughey during his morning visit to the sloppy track at Belmont Park Thursday. The Kentucky Derby (G1) winner also gave exercise rider Jenn Patterson all the right signs in his preparation for the 138th Preakness Stakes (G1) at Pimlico on May 18. Read More

The 2013 Kentucky Derby is now history. It will be remembered mostly for two things. The winner was Orb and the track was a muddy mess.Read More

  • Lisa111 · Rafi, I will send you the analysis from last years Derby. It was a nice sunny day and a fast track. The top four finishers comprised the highest in all three catagories and the lowest in all three catagories. El Padrino and Alpha were part of that but they faltered. I'll Have Another, Bodi, Creative Cause, Dullahan and Went the Day Well were all present in those top spots within that criteria.. · 5 days ago ·

Trainer Chad Brown reports that Normandy Invasion will skip Preakness 2013.   
Moments after learning that trainer Tom Amoss had confirmed that Mylute would be headed to Pimlico Race Course to run in next Saturday’s Preakness Stakes (G1), jockey Rosie Napravnik expressed her excitement on Twitter Saturday morning:“Get your PREAK ON baby I’m coming home ;-) I promise you there ...Read More
  • toni arias von hohenzollern · orb un caballo que lleva 5 carreras 5 victorias..incluido florida.kentucky.. un hijo de malibu moon.. un pedigree que ha pesar de fappiano,umbriled.. mas fondo.. sigue con la linea de mr. prospector.. un caballo con fuerza.. pero que quizás le queden las distancias.. preakness un poco larga.del rosario entra saltando con el caballo. oxbow,un caballo que debido a la pista su jockey y su entrenador con buen criterio quisieron llevarlo desde el principio adelante. un caballo que en el tramo 3/4 de la carrera le impusieron demasiado ritmo.el ir delante con la pista embarrada es una gran ventaja,pero hay que valorar las fuerzas del caballo.quizás decepcionara,quizás se confiara mas en el,en sus fuerzas.. lo cierto es que quedan preakness..breeder's.. "las dosificaciones,planteamientos y desgaste van a pasar factura".es un caballo que geneticamente deberia hacer mejopr las distancias de preakness, kentucky.. etc.. con buen tiempo y dosificando el caballo pienso que puede batir a orb. "orb un caballo que bajo mi punto de vista,las distancias le quedan un poco justas".. pienso que es un caballo mas de 1 milla 1/8..."del rosario saltando". · 5 days ago ·

With trainer Al Stall Jr. and jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. watching from the grandstand, Illinois Derby (G3) winner Departing worked a half-mile in 50 2/5 seconds over a fast track at Churchill Downs on Sunday morning in preparation for Saturday’s Preakness Stakes (G1). Read More

  • silverruffian · I was very impressed with the way Orb ran in the slop. Last year I was certain I'll Have Another wouldn't win the Triple, and unfortunately I was right. I would love to see a Triple Crown this year, but a lot can still happen, not all of it good. Stuart Janney Jr. (Orb's co-owner) knows all about that. He still remembers the heartbreak his family experienced when Ruffian broke down. · 7 days ago ·

  • bettorthanlucky · I like Orb, picked him to win the Derby and would love to see him win the Triple Crown... But let's face it... It takes a lot of talent and a little good luck to accomplish an obviously awesome feat... And jmac you are right ... teh excuses will be flying everywhere just like after the Derby for everyone who lost... It's horse racing and human nature... · 6 days ago ·

Via Fox Hill Farms' twitter: Normandy Invasion is 50-50 to run in the Preakness.
On a rainy Wednesday morning at Belmont Park, Stuart Janney III and Phipps Stable’s Orb went to the racetrack for the first time since his Kentucky Derby victory last Saturday, jogging a mile under exercise rider Jenn Patterson in preparation for the Preakness Stakes on May 18.Read More
Kudos to Horse Racing Nation for selecting the Kentucky Derby winner, Orb. My choice, Normandy Invasion, appeared to have the race at his mercy when holding a clear lead turning for home... finished a creditable fourth, but (jockey) Castellano seemed to have pushed the button too soon.

  • gelded1 · I also thought Normandy Invasion was moved prematurely in the Derby .I'm not using that as an excuse for him just my obsevation on it. I could be wrong and he just didn't have enough to win.I had him in all my tri boxes and was confident he would be part of the trifecta but more confident if the track had been fast. · 11 days ago ·
