  • bband · Can't believe Borel can't get a little credit - what he did in May was simply sensational! · 68 days ago
  • medlocke · No matter what's said or done, they're both great filly/mare's. They've both had incredible year's. But IMO, and only IMO, the only reason they're both being considered for HOY is both of their abilities to beat the colt's. When you look at that, the quality of competition factor has to come into play. Granted, Rachel had a couple of more win's on the year than Zenyatta. But take a look at the World Thoroughbred Rankings and see how many colt's in the top 20 or 25 that Zenyatta beat, then take a look at how many in that group that Rachel beat. It's not even close. Zenyatta beat the much tougher male opposition. As far as female opposition, they both beat good fillies, but fillies out of both of their leagues. But, even in that category, as it turn's out, Zenyatta beat the Ladies Classic Champion multiple times in 09' as well. No offense at all intended to Rachel Alexandra supporters, because I too think she's a remarkable filly. But for 09', if I had a vote, based on what I just laid out my vote for HOY would go for Zenyatta hand's down. JMO. · 65 days ago
So far this week, I have given you a look back at some great races of 2009 and a look ahead at some horses we are hoping from great things from in 2010. Today, I will present my list of the the top fourRead More
“With the close of each racing year comes the interesting problem of the best horse…In past years this was much easier than it is in the present. Today commercialism cuts an important figure, crowding old-fashioned ‘sportsmanship’ to the wall. Horses are no longer raced purely as ‘sport’ much as we ...Read More

This, Humberto Ascanio said, was the one he wanted. Ascanio, the long-time assistant to trainer Bobby Frankel, got his first Grade 1 win on Friday in the Citation Handicap with Fluke, then came right back on Saturday at Hollywood Park to win another Grade 1 race, this time with the brilliant mare Ve...Read More
Humberto Ascanio will be listed as trainer of Ventura for Saturday's $300,000 Matriarch Stakes at Hollywood Park, but if the brilliant 5-year-old wins the Grade 1 race over a mile on turf, he will not take credit. Ascanio's thoughts will be with the late Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel, who died ...Read More

  • Medlocke · Ventura, no question about it, is a top notch filly and will be a tough beat in this year's B.C. F&M Sprint. But I do think it can be done, by Informed Decision. Informed Decision really run's well on the pro-ride surface and has really been on a role in 2009 having won 5 of 6 starts with 1 third. She posted a similar record in 2008 going 5-0-1 in 7 starts, but skipping the F&M Sprint last year. She just look's like a filly that's in peak form right now and I think she'll carry that right on into Friday's F&M Sprint. · 133 days ago
If I have learned one thing since arriving at Santa Anita earlier this week, or from previous experiences prior to the 2008 Breeders' Cup and this past spring in Louisville before the Kentucky Derby, it's this: If you want to see the Godolphin horses train you had better plan on getting up early.
