  • ILuvTurfRacing · Before I say what I'm about to say, I'd like it noted for the record that I'm a huge fan of Game on Dude, and admire this horse a ton!! That said, I'm not sure the word "Great" actually applies to Game on Dude? I think he probably has as much heart and pure desire to win as any gelding racing in America, or any horse period for that matter. But 6-wins, 4-places, and 1-show in 15 lifetime starts is a long way from being labeled "Great" in my view. TJMO. · 2 days ago ·

While this Saturday's stakes races at Gulfstream are quite appealing, the rest of the card is full of intrigue with prime pedigrees in the 3-year-old races. In race 6, a maiden special weight going a mile on the turf for fillies, one of the most anticipated debuts of the season is…Read More

A couple familiar faces showed up in the Golden Gate Fields jockey colony over the past couple of weeks. Kevin Krigger and Aaron Gryder are the latest to try their luck on the local racing scene.

Well Armed, best known for his record-breaking 14-length victory in the 2009 Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airline, has been retired from racing. Bred and raced in the name WinStar Farm, the 8-year-old gelded son of WinStar stallion Tiznow had been attempting a comeback with West Coast train...Read More

After winning a pair of Triple Crown races and sitting atop the owner standings with more than $5.1 million in earnings, besting this year will be quite a challenge for WinStar Farm. But if 2010 was the year of the 3-year-old for WinStar, 2011 may just be the year of the older horse.The powerful Ver...Read More

HA: Over the last couple of years, you have had the pleasure of training some very high quality horses. Did any of those horses just seem to pop out when they first came to you? What traits did they seem to possess that made them stand above the rest? EH: Colonel John, Well Armed, and Dubai Escapade...Read More
The role of leader for the $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 6 is up for grabs. Either the $200,000 Strub Stakes for 4-year-olds next Saturday or the $150,000 San Antonio Handicap next Sunday should help fill that role.Read More

Wynn Las Vegas released their Future Book odds for the 2009 Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita. Leading the way in the Classic is the undefeated filly Zenyatta (10-1) and Einstein (10-1) as co-favorites. Read More
  • arazi · I think the future books are interesting as they are wide open this year. There are no standouts in the older division, and with polytrack, the Europeans are a factor more than ever. Some interesting plays to consider are: - Colonel John at 18-1 off his tremendous turf return at Del Mar - Rail Trip at 25-1 off a dominating run in the Hollywood Gold Cup - Macho Again at 30-1 based on his ability to run big in major events I'm not sure about 12-1 on a European that may or may not come, but would love to see super horse Sea the Stars come for Breeders' Cup. The Wynn put together a deep future book that should be great to get bettors started. I actually wish the Breeders' Cup still did those future wagers... they were a lot of fun. · 907 days ago ·

Informed caught pacesetter Mast Track late down the stretch to win Sunday's running of the $250,000 San Diego Handicap at Del Mar. The victory means automatic entry into this year's Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita Park.Read More
  • mshutty · Look to hear more from Informed as the season progresses. Seems to be coming into his own at the right time. Gutsy peformance by Mast Track today in a race that set up perfectly for him. Well Armed was the perfect bet against coming off the layoff in his 6 year old season after a bias aided victory in Dubai last March. · 920 days ago ·

There is this racetrack theory called the “Dubai Bounce,” which says that horses who make the trip to the Middle East emirate for the world's richest race, the $6 million Dubai World Cup in March, aren't the same when they come back from the trip. Not even the race winner.Read More
Winning a $6 million race would make you fat and happy. Trainer Eoin Harty, one of the wittiest guys on the backstretch, is happy. Well Armed, whom Harty trained to win the Dubai World Cup four months ago, is fat. "I can't get the belly off him," Harty said while feeding Well Armed a carrot at his D...Read More
