What the Nation is saying about Strike A Deal...

Heavily favored To Honor and Serve cruised to a front-running, four-length victory over Mucho Macho Man in the 35th running of the Grade 2, $150,000 Nashua, one of a trio of graded stakes Saturday afternoon at Aqueduct Racetrack.   Ridden by Jose Lezcano, the 2-year-old bay son of Bernardini q...Read More
Opening weekend at Aqueduct brings with it the final graded turf event for males in New York this year, the 51st running of the Grade 2, $150,000, 1 3/8-mile Red Smith Handicap, which has drawn a competitive field of nine.   Trainer Christophe Clement has entered a pair of runners both exiting...Read More
Winchester unleashed a powerful stretch run to collar favored Paddy O’Prado and win the 34th renewal of the Grade 1, $500,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational at Belmont Park on Saturday afternoon.   Winchester sat well-reserved at the back of the pack as Interpatation, last year’s Turf Cl...Read More
In Saturday’s Grade 1, $500,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational at Belmont Park, top turf 3-year-old Paddy O’Prado will face a host of new challenges.   Opposing older horses for the first time in his career, Paddy O’Prado will also get his first test at 1 ½ miles.

After providing his connections with a few anxious moments, Al Khali closed with a rush in the waning strides of the 52nd running of the Grade 2, $150,000 Bowling Green Handicap to prevail on opening day of the Fall Championship Meet at Belmont Park. Read More
 Al Khali may find himself at the perfect distance when he competes in the Grade 2, $150,000 Bowling Green Handicap over 1 3/8 miles on the Inner Turf Course on Saturday, September 11, opening day for the 2010 Fall Championship Meet at Belmont Park.   After taking the 2009 Grade 3 Saranac,...Read More
Although still looking for his first win of 2010, dual Eclipse Award winner Gio Ponti’s elite combination of class and ability makes him the overwhelming 1-2 morning line favorite in Saturday’s 52nd running of the Grade 1, $600,000 Man o’War at Belmont Park.Read More

  • cugel the clever · It's a no-brainer decision. It must be the BC Turf. Would be an idiotic decision to run him on a surface over which he has never raced in the BC Classic against possibly three super-horses; Zenny, Rachel, and QR. 12 furlongs may be a stretch for him but he's proven himself against the best on turf. That's where his best chance lies. Better to stand a strong chance of winning the Turf than a certain out of the money finish in the Classic. · 1048 days ago ·

Reigning Turf Champion and Older Male Gio Ponti ran down 53-1 pacesetter Mission Approved in the final strides of the $600,000 Man o’War Saturday afternoon at Belmont Park to win consecutive runnings of the race and capture his fifth career Grade 1 victory. Read More

  • arazi · This is a really good point. People forget, but Mandella is right. Very few horses come back from Dubai and are competitive in May and June. There have been plenty of flops over the years. I wouldn't toss Gio, but I would definitely spread in the Pick 4 around him. · 1085 days ago ·

Blame emerged as a force last fall with victories in the Fayette Stakes (G2) at Keeneland Race Course and Clark Handicap (G2) at Churchill Downs. The Arch colt will try to get his four-year-old season started with a victory on Saturday in the $100,000 William Donald Schaefer Stakes (G3) at Pimlico R...Read More
  • medlocke · I really like the looks of this colt!!! He's a real competitor, no doubt about it. I'm curios to see how well Blame performs after his winter lay-off. If he hits the track running in the same sort of form that he carried throughout 2009, he really could become one of America's top older colts to deal with in 2010. IMO. · 1107 days ago ·
