What the Nation is saying about Persistently...

Since the first year of the Breeders’ Cup in 1984, the winner of the Juvenile Fillies race has won the Eclipse Award for two year-old fillies in all but three of the 28 years. Read More

  • humphrey · Novermber 5, 1985 I had an audience with the then, lead stallion at a little farm in Paris Kentucky and fed peppermints to the best son of BOLD RULER. Even sent Mrs. Tweedy a shot of him cribbing on the fences there at Claiborne........Better than visiting the Pope, the Queen and the President all rolled into one afternoon. · 945 days ago ·

We all know who the favorites are and who the contenders are. But we also know that no Breeders' Cup is complete without its share of longshots.So here goes. Try these Friday longshots on for size.

Espoir City, Japan’s hope for the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic (gr. I) to be run at Churchill Downs Nov. 6, drilled six furlongs over the Louisville track to lead a host of workouts on the morning of Oct. 23 from hopefuls for the two-day racing festival. This was the first of two planned works b...Read More
  • medlocke · Espoir City is a very talented colt to say the least. He lends a very good international flavor to this year's Breeders Cup Classic. 6 wins and 2 place efforts in 9 lifetime starts. 4 of his 6 win's are G1 victories. He likes to do his running on the front end, and his plenty of front running speed. I would expect to see Espoir City somewhere very near the front of the race along with Haynesfield and Quality Road. If there's a knock on this colt that could be called into question, it would be his stamina? How well, if at all, will Espoir City handle 10 furlongs? Of his 9 races on conventional dirt in Japan, Espoir City has raced 6 times at a mile, and 3 times at 9 furlongs. He's yet to ever attempt 1-1/4 in his career. The talent is certainly there for all to see with this colt. But the Breeders Cup Classic field, IMO, will be a very difficult first time testing ground to try and answer the 10 furlong question with? TJMO. · 967 days ago ·

It’s hard to believe we’re almost there. Monday, Oct. 25, is pre-entries day, and then we can dissect the plethora of Breeders’ Cup races in earnest.

Life At Ten, whose six-race win streak was snapped when she finished third in the Personal Ensign at Saratoga, roared back into the winner’s circle Saturday afternoon at Belmont Park with a rousing two-length victory over favored Unrivaled Belle in the 72nd running of the Grade 1, $350,000 Beldame I...Read More

  • zenyatta02 · Ha! And now RA is probable to run in the BC Ladies Classic, one because she isn't good enough for the Classic and two because her connections are afraid of Zen. Your proof right there! · 1016 days ago ·

  • gardenesque1 · '09 Horse of the Year had nothing to do with Rachel being better than Zenyatta. Rachel deserved the award because she had the best overall campaign. In reality, Zenyatta is superior to Rachel...especially in 2010. Jess Jackson realized that he had no shot against Zenyatta in the Apple Blossom after Rachel lost her 2010 opener to inferior competition, and the reigning HOY is still struggling to rediscover her '09 brilliance. Zen just keeps on winning. · 1016 days ago ·

From a trip-handicapper’s standpoint, Sunday’s Grade 1 Personal Ensign Stakes was a textbook play for an upset. You had all the right ingredients: Rachel Alexandra, a heavy favorite being asked to do something she’d never done before, carry her speed a mile and a quarter; a “now” horse ...Read More
For the second year in a row, it has become pretty clear that the winner of the Kentucky Oaks has been far more legitimate than the winner of the Kentucky Derby.
