What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

A Steven Miles Jr.’s 4-year-old Warrior’s Reward launched his career at Gulfstream Park in late January last year with a 30-to-1 upset debut victory for trainer Ian Wilkes, and is back to begin another campaign as the horse to beat in Thursday’s optional/allowance feature at seven furlongs. Jockey ...Read More
THE INTRIGUE - The 140th running of the Travers didn’t feature Rachel Alexandra, who most believed at the time was the best 3YO of either sex, but the winners of the Belmont, Florida Derby, Lane’s End, Jim Dandy, Dwyer, Peter Pan, and Barbaro made up the field of seven.Read More
  • cigar · Summer Bird won the Travers but was lengths behind Rachel Alexandra in the Haskell. · 55 days ago
A win or second-place effort in your final Breeders' Cup prep is reason enough to move on to the big event. But when you run fifth, well . . . Read More
  • medlocke · Even finishing 5th, Beautician is a decent 2yr.old filly with some promise. She'll probably improve with age. But in the juvenile filly division this year at the Breeders Cup, if she brings her "A" game to the table, I don't look for any of them to catch "Hot Dixie Chick." She has excellent tactical speed and can really open up when called on. She run's very smart, more like a 3yr.old than a 2yr.old. · 117 days ago
  • gardenesque1 · Note that Beautician will not have to face Hot Dixie Chick in the Cup because the latter is not going to Santa Anita. According to assistant trainer Scott Blasi, Spinaway (gr. I) winner Hot Dixie Chick will be given some time off and probably will start back at the end of November at Fair Grounds. · 116 days ago
Trainer Todd Pletcher’s track record in the Bourbon Stakes (G3) has been stellar over the past five years with two victories and two runner-up finishes. On Sunday, he may improve on that record when he sends Wertheimer and Frere’s Interactif and two others in the 19th running of the $125,000 event f...Read More
Summer Bird was not near the back like expected, but it didn't matter. When the field turned for home, the dual classic winner pulled away to an impressive win in the Travers Stakes.Read More
Six others will try and knock the rising Quality Road down as he goes favored in Saturday's Travers Stakes at Saratoga. The field lost Mine That Bird earlier in the week but still boasts the Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird and another rising star in Kensei. Forecasts are saying a wet track is a st...Read More
A pair of quarter cracks may have kept Quality Road out of the Kentucky Derby (gr. I), but nearly four months later the record-setting 3-year-old will get his shot at the next best thing -- the Mid-Summer Derby.Read More
The Grade 1 Travers Stakes will not have filly sensation Rachel Alexandra, but it is looking like a solid field of eight for the $1 million showcase at Saratoga on August 29th. Read More
This year's Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) is such an odd concoction of grass and synthetic horses and undistinguished older dirt horses it's difficult to make a worthwhile list of potential starters.Read More
Trainer Ian Wilkes was not bothered by the slop Sunday morning and sent Warrior's Reward out for a five-furlong work over the sloppy main track at Saratoga Racecourse with jockey Calvin Borel in the irons as he worked toward the $1-million Shadwell Travers Stakes (gr. I).Read More
Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin confirmed Aug. 20 that Mr. and Mrs. William K. Warren Jr.'s Charitable Man, third in the Jim Dandy (gr. II), would make his next start in the Shadwell Travers (gr. I) on Aug. 29. “The race is coming up extremely tough,” said McLaughlin. “We talked about the Pennsylvania Der...Read More
  • cigar · I suppopse I don't blame yeah. If Rachel doesn't go, and MTB opts-out, an on-the-board finish is more than reasonable. · 170 days ago
 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird had a slow five furlong drill at the Spa on August 17th, and a subsequent exam revealed an entrapped epiglottis. Minor surgery on Tuesday corrected the breathing issue, and he remains possible for the Travers (Aug 29th). He will head back to ...Read More
Rachel Alexandra took down the boys again, and she did it easily in the Haskell (G1) over a sloppy track on August 2nd. Nothing that happened on Sunday was a surprise.  Read More
Stonestreet Stables and Gulf Coast Farms' Kensei, who powered home to a 2 1/4-length victory over Warrior's Reward in the Aug. 1 Jim Dandy (gr. II) came out of the race in good shape, according to trainer Steven Asmussen's assistant Larry Ulrich.Read More
Kensei notched his second straight grade II score Aug. 1 in the $500,000 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga, as he pulled away from Warrior's Reward in the stretch for a convincing victory under Edgar Prado.A 3-year-old son of Mr. Greeley, Kensei scored another huge win for trainer Steve Asmussen, who onl...Read More
Momma always said: Dark Day, Don’t Play. Thing is, what do horses to watch mean on a day like today, unless some horse freaks and the world sees it, anyway. Even the Grade 2 Lake George is off the grass.Read More
Horse racing's second season hits a high point Aug. 29 with the running of the $1-million Shadwell Travers Stakes (gr. I) at Saratoga, and this Saturday at Saratoga seven 3-year-olds will assemble for the 46th running of the $500,000 Jim Dandy Stakes (gr. II).Read More
  • cigar · Rachel or Kensei to the Travers? We find out this weekend... · 194 days ago
  • arazi · Kensei and Munnings ran such huge races around one turn... will be interesting to see how the do going two turns... · 194 days ago
Of the three major summer holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day) the Independence Day racing might come in a respectable third but we were all privy to a few solid performances from Friday to today.  Here’s a look at some of what we learned:Read More
Kensei, ridden by Edgar Prado and trained by Steve Asmussen, made a powerful move on the far turn en route to an impressive 3 1/4-length victory in the 92nd running of the $200,000 Dwyer (gr. II) at Belmont Park on the July 4 holiday card.Read More
Said trainer Chip Woolley, "Calvin is in a unique position right now to have a lot of options, but his failure to commit to my horse meant I had to go a different direction." Borel was said to have prior commitments with Warrior's Reward in the Dwyer and potentially the Jim Dandy on the same day as ...Read More

  • arazi · Seems like a knucklehead move by Borel's agent to lose Mine That Bird. Yes, the Nafzger/Wilkes barn is Borel's meal ticket... and they gave him Street Sense and several others. But Warrior's Reward is no Derby winner, and you sort of have carte blanche understanding to drop other horses for the Derby winner... so you would think he could have gotten out of this committment. · 222 days ago
  • gberet · Not very smart on Calvin's part. MTB probably wins the W.V. Derby. No way Warrior's Reward beats Quality Road in the J.D. Also heard on HRTV that Charitable Man likely for the J.D. also. I don't care if the N/W barn is his meal ticket or not, where I went to school 1st place share of 750k is beter than no place share of 500k. Apparently he's lost more sense than teeth. I couldn't agree more. Not a very smart move on Calvin's part. Why do you give up the mount that probably wins the W.V. Derby and $750,000 to jump on a mount that even if Warrior's Reward wins makes $500,000 in the Jim Dandy. Because there's no way that Warrior's Reward beats Quality Road in the J.D. Also hearing that Charitable Man going to be in the J.D. Pretty bad when you've lost more sense than teeth. · 221 days ago
