What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Touch Gold...

A minor upset took place on Saturday in the Hollywood Juvenile Championship. The gelding Amarish entered the Hollywood Juvenile off of a 4 ½ length score in the Willard Proctor Memorial Champ, but it was another gelding, Scherer’s Magic, who stole the spotlight.  Sent to the post as the 2-5 fa...Read More
I’ll Have Another will try to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978 when he runs in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 9. Since Spectacular Bid in 1979, eleven 3-year-olds have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness only to fail in their Triple Crown quest at Belmont Park. Spec...Read More

  • AnnaK · Would love a Triple Crown, mostly because it would pull people in to the races, (already started I like to think), plus IHA is such a strong red engine and Mario is excellent, that it just might be. Can't see Dullahan doing it, 27 in the last q good to know, that fancy inefficient leg work, so IHA and UR and anyone else can duke it out. · 364 days ago ·

  • cocoa2 · Icy, Dullahan is the best Allowance horse I have ever seen, especially since he has won graded stakes. Or was I not to take you literally? · 363 days ago ·

The inaugural running of the Gulfstream Park Derby at Gulfstream Park drew a tough, evenly matched field. Normally when handicapping races for two-year olds (three-year olds by race day), there are some factors that set a couple of entrants ahead of the rest of the field. This time, however, it woul...Read More

  • Floridaf · He put in a good race in SpecBid, that's for sure, but I'm not sure he'll be able to repeat the effort at a longer distance. If he does, I'll be the first to eat my words. · 507 days ago ·

  • CauseForConcern · I was there for that race, and saw the emotion in the Winner's Circle. Next day, we were on a flight to Chicago, and McCarron was on the flight, en route to the Arlington Million, where he would run second on Sandpit. Wanted to say something to him, but couldn't, out of respect for his grief. It was a great race. · 634 days ago ·
