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

Trainer Todd Pletcher reported that Discreetly Mine, front-running winner of the Grade 1 King’s Bishop, came out of his 1 ¼ -length victory in good order and would most likely train up to the Breeders’ Cup Sprint.   “He came out of it very well,” said Pletcher. “We felt kind of handcuffed the ...Read More
Dynaslew collared front-running Silver Reunion with a furlong to go and went on to post a half-length victory Saturday afternoon in the 22nd running of the Grade 2, $200,000 Ballston Spa Handicap at Saratoga Race Course.   Patiently ridden by Eibar Coa, the 4-year-old Dynaformer filly sat just ...Read More
As far as the stakes races on the card, here’s how I see them: Race 8, The Ballston Spa (G2) - #8 CHEROKEE QUEEN is in position to rebound from a foul-up at the start of the Matchmaker last time out at Monmouth as she lost jockey Elvis Trujillo leaving the starting gate.  She entered that race....Read More

  • medlocke · What a super race-mare Prince Khalid Abdullah has in Proviso. Having now reeled off three consecutive Grade 1 wins in a relatively short time in America. It could have actually been four Grade 1 wins if her victory at Keenland in the Spinster Stakes had stood. But the Stewards D.Q.'d Proviso in that race and placed her second. Moving Mushka up to 1st. Proviso has definitely gotten better and more seasoned with age. This mare from Great Britain has raced, and raced well, the likes of Zarkava and Goldikova back when all were younger in 2008. But it's been in America that Proviso has really flourished and come into her own. · 552 days ago ·

  • tweeter · and in regards to not beating Quality Road in the Met Mile he was gaining on him and if other trainers would have taken there shots at him other than ian wilkes with warriors reward and derek ryan with musket man instead of letting him go 45 and change to the half ,, mm might have had a shot to beat him..... john Velasquez was all out to hold him off...5 other trainers were so in awe of Quality Road that they told there jockeys to ride to get a piece.... Musket Mans crew should enter a rabbit if he goes to the Whitney and ensure a solid pace,,,,, · 577 days ago ·

  • humphrey · Only problem for Musket Man in the Met, was that Quality Road, even after a sub 1:09 three quarters simply re-broke and said goodbye. He wasn't going by then or later. · 577 days ago ·
