What the Nation is saying about Pike Place Dancer...

Lady of Fifty could be Hollendorfer's next Kentucky Oaks filly

Having a top notch three-year old filly is nothing new to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. Three times, Hollendorfer has gotten one of his ladies to the winners circle in the Kentucky Oaks. Such champions as Lite Light (1991), Pike Place Dancer (1996) and Blind Luck (2010) give the hall of famer credibil...Read More

BrianZipse · Lady of Fifty looked really good in the California Oaks, looking forward to her ascent up the class scale. Good news on Berkeley Lab, thanks for keeping us up to date, Don! · 122 days ago ·

Golden Gate Fields and Russell Baze

Ok racing fans, here’s a quiz. No asking your neighbor and no looking in a book. Where is Golden Gate Fields located?? I’m waiting…….. What was that? San Francisco? Ohh you are sooooo close. Let me give you a hint. It borders a large body of water. I know you have heard “where the surf meets the tur...Read More

humphrey · This palce was built on the grounds of an old reservation burial ground. The first season was a debacle as rains and a poorly draining track combined to create almost a quick sand that snapped many a leg before they LUCKILY closed due to the war starting. It is closest really to Richmond but is within the city limits of Berkley. Sitting out on a prominance along the east side of San Francisco Bay, it is a nice atmosphere for racing. Too bad California racing is in shambles as the Northern part of the state used to have a strong rivalry with the south and many a very good one would come up to try to steal the big stakes as well as Longacres horses coming down in the Winter/Spring meeting. Baze is a phenom. I asked him about Lost in the Fog this last October, asking did he or the trainer have any idea about his problems (cancer which later casued his death after a long undefeated string) and he informed me that he was off on the rear a bit before the diagnosis. Nice fellow · 489 days ago ·

12 Clip · Golden Gate Fields is located in Albany, Ca. It's could really be a gem if someone where to dump millions of dollars into. It sits right on the San Francisco Bay. It houses one of the nicest turf courses in America, appropriately named the Longden Turf after the great jockey Johnny Longden. Perhaps someday they rename it after Russell Baze. Before Bay Meadows Racecourse was demolished several years ago, many of the handicappers and fans including myself would call it Baze Meadows. Not only is Russell a hall of fame jockey but he is also a class act and one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. GGF Fields is the only running track in Nothern California besides the fair circuit which runs in the summertime. Lost In The Fog is by far the best horse I've ever seen run at GG Fields. And that includes a list of champions such as Soviet Problem, Work the Crowd, Event of the Year, and one of my all-time favorites a claimer who climbed the ranks and one five graded races in a row, and also won the G1 Hollywood Gold Cup with Gary Stevens aboard, his name, Slew of Damascus. · 489 days ago ·

humphrey · Strrange thing happened in their clubhouse. I was collecting totes to trade with others around the country and upon finding a group of $100 tickets I scooped them up. SOme yokel claimed that they BELONGED to the racing commission and I explained that common trash on the floor just like a wrapper from a hot dog is trash. He must have just lost a big bet or something as he said he would get me ruled off if I picked up any more the racing commissions property. I wrote the California Horse Racing Board and they agreed with me. Carried that letter with me the next few visits but never saw the idiot again . · 489 days ago ·

humphrey · When you evaluate a new race track to follow you have to find out two things; 1) does my way of handicapping work here often enough to follow it regularly and 2) probably more important, does this track offer me the prices that will allow me to make a long term profit? GGF pases the first and fails the second test miserably. · 489 days ago ·
