What the Nation is saying about Turbulent Descent...

Is she bred to War Front or Giants Causeway? Because HRN says War Front but Bloodhorse says G.C
Before we look ahead to a new racing season, let's take pause to say good-bye and good luck to those that are leaving the track and moving on to their second careersRead More

  • ILuvTurfRacing · If John Gosden so chooses to bring them both to America for the BC F&M Turf? He's got Izzi Top with a "win and your in" for winning the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes in Ireland. She just finished 2nd in the G1 Prix De l'Opera at Longchamp on Arc day, Sunday. He also has star 3YO filly, The Fugue, with a "win and your in" slot for her win in the G1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood earlier in the season, too. Both of those fillies could be huge players in the F&M Turf if Gosden brings them? It sound like The Fugue is pretty certain to be sent but I haven't heard yet one way or another if Izzi Top is going to be sent to Santa Anita or not? · 252 days ago ·

LAst year at this time she was the ONE TO BEAT... She was banged around pretty dood and never fired... Does anyone have any insight into her 4th place finish last out? She was way back and flattened in the stretch..Can she Fire on her old strip and take Groupy doll out?? I think she may.

  • CarolynBarg · Her workouts are just stellar, but when she gets on the track she doesn't seem to have her mojo working right. I think she's ready to me a mom, and she'll be sold at FT in November. She's a lovely horse and deserves retirement. · 233 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · I just can't agree that this year's field is bad, even in comparison with previous years. So far, possible contenders include 4 G1 winners, 4 G2 winners, and a G3 winner. Plus, you have 3 Dirt Mile veterans returning for another shot at the winner's circle. · 269 days ago ·
