What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about The Factor...

The Factor has worked twice at Hollywood Park since returning from Dubai. He fired a 3f bullet in :35 (1/32) on May 20 and went 4f in :47.80 (11/57) on May 26.
ROCKET MAN was denied back-to-back wins in the Golden Shaheen by the Kieren Fallon-partnered Krypton Factor. Last year's winner disputed the lead withearly pacesetter Giant Ryan and was clear of rivals turning for home. But the pace had been strong and as Rocket Man's boosters began to fade Krypton ...Read More

  • Armada · @Cocoa: ...try telling that to Ortensia in the Al Quoz Sprint. And as far as The Factor goes, yeah he ran a bad race. Just gotta get home and regroup and he'll be fine. · 57 days ago ·

After he puts the beat down on everyone at the Golden Shaheen. Take him to england to put the beat down on black caviar at royal ascot. The coward connections knew he was going to be there and bowed out. Great horse BC but scared connections..

  • timgsmith10 · Maybe just get used to the fact that whenever a horse is babied by the handlers and doesnt travel/race vs best they will be compared to zenyatta.. maybe forever · 59 days ago ·

  • zxswordxz · Whatever you do in the pass will be your legacy. Unfortunately, a lot of people will remember what Zenyatta connection did instead of remembering how great she could have been. Zenyatta was a great horse, bring me out of my seat to see her power. However, her connection decided to do thing differently with her. You will never see someone take the same shot at horse like, Citation, Native Dancer, Northern Dancer, Damascus, Dr Fager, Kelso, John Henny, Secretariat, Skew, Affirmed, Alydar, Lady Secret, Personal Ensign, RA, Curlin and etc. History is history, you can't change it. People will always refer to them and make comparison against it. You either like it or hate it. · 59 days ago ·

Defending Dubai Golden Shaheen champion Rocket Man drew the rail in his attempt to become the first repeat winner of the race since Call...Read More

The $10 million Dubai World Cup (UAE-I) commands attention not only due to its rich purse but from the status it has developed since 1996 as one of the world’s premier Thoroughbred events.

  • Cardly Knot · I believe Baffert is shipping the Factor to Dubai. Game on Dude, The Factor, and who knows possibly a 3 year old? Perhaps Casataway, Secret Circle, or even Liaison who has run well on syn. Pack Sutherland/Garcia in the suitcase, as well. · 87 days ago ·

Eclipse Sportswire was at all the big races last week and captured some great moments at the Fountain of Youth, Risen Star & more - it's the best week yet!Read More
bill o'reilly cracked me up tonite. he showed the factor winning in the stretch in the san carlos, and said he is rooting for the factor to win the kentucky derby. bill better just stick to his 'fair and balanced' politics.
