What the Nation is saying about Richard's Kid...

Friday’s pick six from Del Mar includes a carryover of more than $100,000. The feature race is the Grade 3 Cougar II Handicap for 3-year-olds and up traveling a mile and a half on Polytrack. 8-5 favorite Richard’s Kid is cross-entered in Saturday’s Grade 2 San Diego. Second choice Temple City owns f...Read More

  • mshutty · Unprecedented, Jarrod! All six are within your grasp! · 19 hours ago
  • humphrey · Many people forget that old Cougar II's first North American start (and the longest price he would pay) were at Del Mar. Imported by Anita's long time caller Joe Hernandez, my late wife and I were lucky to have seen him in second start at much shorter odds. The Big Cat was something but had to play second fiddle to Ack Ack. · 15 hours ago
Spendthrift Farm's Temple City, the only speed horse in a field of five marathoners, took advantage of an ideal set-up to lead from wire-to-wire under careful rating by jockey Joe Talamo and win today's featured $125,000 Cougar II at a mile and one-half over Del Mar's main track. As expected, Temple...Read More
Saturday’s pick six from Del Mar includes a pair of Stakes races. First up is the Fleet Treat (6th race) for 3-year-old fillies and Camille C is the tepid 3-1 choice in a wide open event. The feature race is the Grade 2 San Diego (8th race), and this is also a good betting race since favorite Richar...Read More
A field of 10 runners, with potential to show up for Del Mar's signature $1-million Pacific Classic Saturday, August 28, is set to go the post in Saturday's 69th running of the Grade II, $200,000 San Diego Handicap at 1 1/16 miles on the main track.   A victory in the "Win and You're In" event...Read More
A thirteenth appearance in a Grade or Group 1 race turned out to be lucky for Awesome Gem as the 7-year-old upset heavily-favored Rail Trip to win the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup Saturday at Hollywood Park. The 8-1 surprise in the day’s biggest race was one of many in the latter half of the card, s...Read More
  • medlocke · I certainly give David Flores a ton of credit for the tactics he used in this race. Diving Awesome Gem down to the rail to save ground, then getting Awesome Gem to respond well, and run on very stoutly through the stretch. But you can't overlook the fact that Rail Trip was 7lbs. heavier than Awesome Gem in the race. Coupled with the fact that Rail Trip was hung out about 4 wide the entire race. Still, coming off the last turn, it looked like Rail Trip was going to be off to the races. But Awesome Gem ran a gallant stretch run himself. Finally banking the first Grade 1 success of his career. After more than a few near misses over the years. But top to bottom, I still believe the weight differential and how wide of a trip Rail Trip got throughout the race was more of a deciding factor in the outcome than was how well Awesome Gem ran in the Hollywood Gold Cup.

  • gardenesque1 · There is no doubt that Rail Trip was best in the Gold Cup. It turned into an odd event after Tres Borrachos blew the break. There was no separation and Rail Trip took the worst of it from a trip standpoint. Still, it was nice to see Awesome Gem get his grade one. · 20 days ago
Sunday’s pick six from Hollywood Park includes a 2-day carryover of more than $500,000. The feature race is the $100,000 Landaluce Stakes for juvenile fillies and includes impressive Arlington Park debut winner Dawnie Macho. Partly cloudy skies are expected with a high temperature of 69... Read More
Rail Trip will try to become the third multiple winner of the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup when he faces six rivals in the race at 1 ¼ miles over Cushion Track Saturday at Hollywood Park. The 71st running of the Gold Cup is one of two Grade 1’s on the 10 race card. Gayego, who is 2-for-2 on the Holl...Read More
Rail Trip, who is trying to become the third multiple winner of the Hollywood Gold Cup, will be the starting high weight at 123 pounds when the Grade 1 is run for the 71st time Saturday at Hollywood Park.Read More

Michael Dickinson’s interest in racing surfaces first took root in the mid-1970s when he spent two summers at Ballydoyle in Ireland, working with his mentor, the late Vincent O’Brien, the legendary Irish trainer. “He started the all-weather gallops,” Dickinson said of O’Brien. “Before that, everyone...Read More
There is always plenty to talk about after the Dubai World Cup. This year, with the multi-billion-dollar Meydan Racecourse making its prime-time debut, there’s even more to talk about than usual.Unlike the misnamed Breeders’ Cup World Championships, the Dubai World Cup program truly is a "world" eve...Read More
THE first Dubai World Cup at billion-dollar Meydan ended in a dramatic finish as last year's runner-up Gloria De Campeao (Pascal Bary/TJ Pereira) just held on in the tightest of three-way photos. Representing French trainer Pascal Bary, the six-year-old - a 16-1 chance with British bookmakers - took...Read More
  • medlocke · The photo between Gloria De Campeao and Lizard's Desire is so close, even after seeing it several times, I really don't know how they didn't come to the conclusion that the 2010 Dubai World Cup was a dead heat. Allybar was also right there in between GDP and LD, just missing by a whisker himself. Gio Ponti got up for fourth, but had to go very wide to do so. Just nosing out Mastery at the line in a very close finish for 4th and 5th. Gitano Hernando got boxed in on the rail and had a terrible trip. He looked full of run, but never really got to unwind it. By the time GH did get into the clear, it was far too late. The two biggest disappointments of the race, to me, were Twice Over and Vision D'Etat. Vision D'Etat, one of the best international stakes horses in the world, clearly did not adapt to the Tapeta synthetic surface and finished far back. It was VD first lifetime start off of the turf. · 126 days ago
The Dubai World Cup will go the way of Japan when RED DESIRE scores a knockout punch.  Maybe. At least, the consensus among the international media and meet-long observers is that the Japanese filly could be the next superstar in racing, and there are few to go against that opinion.  She w...Read More
Gio Ponti is the 7-2 favorite in an international field of 14. Read More

  • Medlocke · Gio Ponti did get a real good Post Position draw for the 2010 Dubai World Cup. Drawing P.P. #4 out of 14. The last time I checked on attheraces.com a few hours ago, Vision D'Etat from P.P. #6 was the 4-1 favorite. Twice Over drew P.P.#11, and had initially been the favorite until he drew wide. Twice Over was second choice at 11-2. Gio Ponti and Gitano Hernando from P.P. #2 are both 6-1, all on the parimutuel. Mastery had been 6-1, but drew wide also getting P.P #12. He's now at 8-1 with Gloria De Campeao from P.P.#5. · 128 days ago

It's breakfast at Wimbledon for racing fans....I'd call it the Duel in the Desert, but there's really no big duel being touted on the Sheikh's biggest race day of the year. Not that we have one in the works here in the States (now that the Apple Bottom Jeans Handicap has been hijacked by Jess Jackso...Read More
It was a fast and furious morning on Wednesday at Meydan as the international media contingent is fully engaged in the trackwork.  Below are a selection of workers and thoughts on appearance.

It looks as though a full field of 14 runners will contest the $10 million Dubai World Cup (UAE-I)--the world's richest horse race--March 27 at Meydan Racecourse.Though entries will not be drawn until next week, the maximum number of starters is expected for the 10-furlong race over the Tapeta surfa...Read More
  • Rossington · I've never seen Vision D'Etat race over any surface except turf in his racing career, so I really don't know what to expect out of him over the Tapeta surface at Meydan. I will say this, that other than a poor finish in the 09' Prix d' le Arc', he's been one of the most "clutch" racing for big money Group or Grade 1 horses in the world in 2009. With victories in the Prix Ganay, The Prince of Wales Stakes, and the Pacific Hong Kong Cup, beating a star-studded field that yielded Presvis, Collection, Ashalanda, and Eagle Mountain but to name a few. He also has one 2nd place finish to Spanish Moon in the 09' Prix Foy, and one 3rd place finish to Trincot and The Bogberry in the 09' Prix harcourt. If Vision D'Etat adapts and run's well over the Tapeta surface, Gio Ponti and Twice over, already proven stayers on synthetics, may be his only real challenges. But if he struggles on the surface, as did Prix Neil and Arc 3rd place finisher Cavalryman, than the race may become a wide open one. JMO. · 137 days ago

The “buzz” concerning Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra’s rivals in Saturday’s $200,000 New Orleans Ladies mostly surrounds the Brazilian-bred mare Zardana.   That’s because she is conditioned by John Shirreffs, who also trains Zenyatta, Rachel Alexandra’s projected rival in Oaklawn Park’s Ap...Read More
