What the Nation is saying about Northern Giant...

Looking for Northern Giant to get real brave on the lead in the 3rd at Saratoga.
  • arazi · Ummm... I was, too. Guess we were wrong about that one. Ice Box in the lead! Durkin was more than a bit surprised! · 195 days ago ·

It starts like this: A father and son make their way to the racetrack. Memories are made and first impressions gathered. A lifetime of dedication to the sport begins. Forty-some years later, a horseman hits the top of his game and decides to seek another challenge and tougher competition. Within 12 ...Read More

  • railbird33 · I look for Nick to put Jackson on the lead, bullet works show- he's ready. If you pitch his wet track effort-this horse hasn't finished worse than 2nd. Good value play!! · 637 days ago ·

I can’t imagine anyone will have any alibis after Saturday’s 135th Preakness Stakes is run at Old Hilltop, otherwise known as Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md. The forecast is for sunny skies and comfortable temperatures in the 70s, the top horses received favorable post positions, and all ...Read More
D. Wayne Lukas loves to bring horses to the Preakness. Once at Pimlico, the Hall of Fame trainer has a knack for making news both on and off the track. It was back in 1980 when he first made news on the track at Pimlico, rolling into Baltimore with a horse named Codex who turned out to be the first ...Read More
  • humphrey · Now that the juicer has been exposed see how many big time owners run to have their horses crippled before they are 3 1/2. · 638 days ago ·

  • humphrey · Check out how many horses that D. Wayne trained actually made it to the track at 4 other than the few he that he took over from other trainers: Steinlin or Criminal Type. Of course his worst, other than all of those euthanized on the track, was the pitiful picture of the horse of the year, Lady's Secret bolting on the far turn. Way to destroy them D. Wayne! · 638 days ago ·

So no pace... Lukas has a closer (Dublin). What is Northern Giant's job? Ensure some pace...?
Besides the shorter distance, smaller field, and venue there are other differences between the Preakness and the Kentucky Derby. The rush to get to Churchill Downs and have horses get accustomed to the surface is replaced by a fashionably late-arriving crowd in Pimlico. As of Tuesday morning, the Pi...Read More

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Pimlico we go for the second leg of the Triple Crown, the 135th Preakness Stakes, in which Super Saver, the Kentucky Derby winner, will face another large field, though the complexion of the race has changed dramatically from the lineup at Churchill Downs, both in terms of ...Read More

  • curlin · I don't care who wins as long as it is either super saver, lookin at lucky, conveyance, jackson bend, or dublin. i know this sounds wierd but i hate when crappy horses win prestigious races. i don't want a horse who has raced 8 or so times and has won twice. actually it doesn't have to be a great horse but if it isn't i want it to have a good pedigree or to be trained buy a top trainer. i hate when crappy horses like mine that bird trained by a no body of a trainer chip woolly comes and win a race that should be won by a trainer who races at a real track. and by a real track i mean: if it isn't in Kentucky, Florida, new york, Illinois, California, and i guess Arkansas (oaklawn) or Louisiana (fairgrounds ) your not racing at a real track. · 640 days ago ·

Under consideration for the Preakness. Yikes!
Eight days from race day, and the Preakness field still has questions, but it is much closer to taking shape than it was a couple of days ago. At this time, here are the 14 sophomores I see as most...Read More
