What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

Four U.S. horses, including dual champion Gio Ponti, are among the 14 horses likely to contest the $10 million Dubai World Cup (UAE-I) at Meydan Racecourse on March 27.Read More
Ken and Sarah Ramsey will aim to make international history on March 27 when their Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (gr. I) winner Furthest Land competes in the $10-million Dubai World Cup (UAE-I)."We’ve got a shot to be the first American owners to win two World Cups," Ramsey said March 11, in addition to t...Read More
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
Richard's Kid is Dubai-bound after winning the $150,000 San Antonio Handicap (gr. II) at Santa Anita Feb. 7 in his first start for new owner Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed al Maktoum's Zabeel Racing International. Santa Anita returned to racing Feb. 7 with an early Super Bowl-day program, one day after ...Read More
  • ruby · Garrett Gomez was pretty amazing flying up the rail to grab the win at the very last second. Nice race for Richard's Kid to head to Dubai with. · 36 days ago
  • cigar · Ugh. They totally and absolutely just laid-down for him down the stretch. Auto bet against next time. · 35 days ago
While it was certainly an excellent Super Bowl, it was also a great weekend for horse racing. On Saturday, Quality Road loaded into the gate without issue and then burned up the track to better his own track record. Zoom!Read More
Sunday’s pick six from Santa Anita Park includes a carryover of more than $85k. The feature race is the Grade 2 San Antonio for 4yo’s and up traveling nine furlongs on the Pro-Ride surface. Richard’s Kid is the 5-2 morning line choice, and he is using this as a prep for the Dubai World Cup. Par...Read More
Furthest Land, last-place finisher as the 3-5 favorite a month ago in his first race since capturing the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (gr. I), can make amends Feb. 7 in the $150,000 San Antonio Handicap (gr. II) at Santa Anita. Read More
The role of leader for the $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 6 is up for grabs. Either the $200,000 Strub Stakes for 4-year-olds next Saturday or the $150,000 San Antonio Handicap next Sunday should help fill that role.Read More
ZENYATTA (Street Cry [Ire]) climaxed one of the most brilliant careers in racing history with a thrilling victory in Saturday's Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), becoming the first female to win the coveted race and extending her unbeaten streak to 14. The effort to overcome her m...Read More
  • Rossington · John Shirreffs must really be on cloud nine after the weekend he just had in the Breeders Cup. Zenyatta's run really needs no explanation, it speak's for itself. Life is Sweet, however, ran like a filly with a world of talent and look's like a filly that may even have better races ahead of her should she decide to stay in training for next year. Garrett Gomez really rode a masterful race on Life is Sweet. I kind of felt going into the Ladies Classic when she was sent off with morning line odds of 8-1 that she may be the one in the race that was being overlooked. Much like I felt Gio Ponti was in the Classic. Great job by Shirreffs and congrats to the connection's of Life is Sweet and Zenyatta. Great performances from both fillies. · 126 days ago
Although she was back in her barn at Hollywood Park after her historic Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) win, Zenyatta was the hot topic the morning of Nov. 8 among those gathered at Clocker's Corner at Santa Anita, one day after they witnessed history.Read More
If there is one thing you can always count on in the Breeders' Cup it's that it will have it's share of longshot winners and mid-price overlays who get lost in the handicapping frenzy that is so much a part of the event.Read More
For the fans of Zenyatta, the possibility of a hot pace bodes well for the closing mare in Saturday’s $5 million Classic. With one confirmed speed horse and three possible pressers, the long run to the first turn and the excitement of the crowd, the pace could easily heat-up to a level where anywher...Read More

  • cigar · Colonel John would need a career best race and it might not be good enough, but an on-the-board finish at a big price? Maybe. As for Zenyatta, a friend of mine posted this on Facebook: Bob Baffert on Zenyatta taking on the boys in the Classic: "It's a big question mark but it’s going to be answered. It’s a championsip race and that’s what it’s all about. If she’s a true champion she’ll do. It if she’s a filly and mare champion she won’t." · 132 days ago
  • Rossington · My guess is with Regal Ransom and Quality Road on the front end it will be very quick fractions. This could set up the race perfectly for a late closer like Zenyatta or Gio Ponti. · 132 days ago
I'm not sure the robot from Lost In Space needs to be rolling around the Santa Anita barn area warning Breeders' Cup Classic trainers of danger, but the work by Mine That Bird on Monday morning should...Read More
In looking at the Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I), several thoughts and angles emerged that could have a bearing on the race. While they may turn out to be mere folly, they are at least worth mentioning just to make sure all bases are covered and there is less of a chance of Monday morning quarterback...Read More
  • Rossington · It's almost game time. After studying it, analyzing it, and playing over and over again in my mind's eye, this is how I see the Classic turning out: Rip Van Winkle turn's out to be as good as Aiden O'Brien advertised and win's the Classic. Provided she goes, Zenyatta closes late but fall's just short of catching RVW and get's second. An also late closing Gio Ponti comes right on Zenyatta's heels and narrowly get's by a tiring Quality Road, who's ran a big race himself, to claim third. That's it, that's how I see the Classic unfolding. So do I need to go see a shrink or what? · 132 days ago
A year ago trainer Bob Baffert won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and Sprint. On Sunday his horses swept Santa Anita's first four races after going 2 for 2 Saturday. Sure looks as if Baffert has figured out this synthetic-track business. More evidence: Of his four-horse contingent for the Breeders' Cup ...Read More
A few weeks in California, and look how well Mine That Bird and Chip Woolley are moving. Mine That Bird, the Kentucky Derby winner, has progressed since running sixth in the Goodwood Stakes last month, and completed his preparation for Saturday's $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic with a five-furlong ...Read More
Richard's Kid, upset winner of the Pacific Classic (gr. I), turned in another sharp work at Santa Anita Nov. 2, getting four furlongs in :47.20 in his final tune-up for the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I).Read More
Part two of my Breeders’ Cup Classic blog, and below is a look at the next four pre-entrants.... Read More
Careless Jewel (pictured) and Zensational both uncorked bullets over the Pro-Ride surface on Oct. 27th, as they continue preparations for the upcoming Breeders' Cup World Championships at Santa Anita Park on Nov. 6-7. Read More
  • Rossington · With the exception of Rachael Alexandra, there's not a doubt in my mind that Carless Jewel is the next best 3yr.old filly in America. Given how impressive she's looked in her last 3 or 4 outings, I'm not so sure she wouldn't take it right to Rachael Alexandra as well. She's shown more talent, maybe with the exception of Summer Bird of late than any of the other males and all of the females that R.A. has raced. Hopefully, since R.A. is dodging, oops, I meant skipping the Breeders Cup races we'll get to see these two lock horns sometime next year as 4yr.olds. I anxiously await. · 139 days ago
There is so much to discuss after the weekend's stakes extravaganza, but one race that likely had the most profound effect on the Breeders' Cup was the Goodwood Stakes (gr. I).Read More
  • Rossington · I say now or never for Zenyatta. If she had been entered in the Goodwood Stakes, Gitano Hernando or not, she could have won that race. There really wasn't much there to beat, imo. MTB who hasn't won a race since the Ky. Derby, Colonel John who runs well on the surface but is a bit overmatched in the Classic, Informed and Parading, whom neither have ran to par for some time now. So with Sea the Stars now retired, I say let Zenyatta run against the boys. Quality Road or Summer Bird are neither proven on the surface. Of the American entries, only Einstein may give her trouble. So let her run, so what if she finished 3rd to Rip Van Winkle and Midshipman. No shame in that. · 153 days ago
