  • amfuller · Word is from the necropsy Pulpit died from a blood clot but his body was ravaged with cancer and would have died anyway. So sad. Do these farms not do routine checks for cancer and other stuff? · 135 days ago ·

Let’s face it, the Illinois Derby is not the strongest of preps for the Run for the Roses, but on the other hand, last time I checked it was still a Kentucky Derby prep. Not so according to the decision makers at Churchill Downs. Kind of odd for a race that I always enjoy attending and in the past d...Read More

  • travel_vic · how many time has Baffert finished second in the big dance. Didn't he run second to Grdinstone? Another colt destroyed by old D. Wayne · 331 days ago ·

  • ruffian75 · More like a "flaring nostril"!!!! I always felt that McCarron(who was on Cavonnier) was on cruise control late in the race, running alongside the rail to victory, when Bailey came flying on the extreme outside with Grindstone. I don't think McCarron ever saw that horse, until after the finish line. · 331 days ago ·

R.I.P. Yawanna Twist.
Rest in Peace...he was another one that I enjoyed watching. Not a good past few days....
Yawanna Twist was euthanized after fracturing a rear femur following routine ankle surgery. 
Friday's Black-Eyed Susan undercard at Pimlico features a stellar edition of the Grade 3, $300,000 Pimlico Special Stakes as well as three sprint stakes in the lead-up to Saturday's 137th running of the Preakness Stakes. Read More

Think back if you will to the morning of April the 9th, 2011. Everybody was talking about one horse. His name was Uncle Mo. Unbeaten and already a champion, so called pundits that will remain nameless (me) were still talking about him in glowing terms. “The best juvenile I’ve seen in a long time,” s...Read More

  • Mike in SB · Why don't modern trainers use prep races? In the 70's and 80's most trainers would have run this horse in a 6 furlong allowance race 2 or 3 weeks before putting him in a tough stakes race like this. · 462 days ago ·

Tizway, returning to the scene of his most recent triumph, turned in a dazzling performance in the 118th edition Grade 1, $500,000 Metropolitan Handicap, the Memorial Day feature at Belmont Park.   Seeking his first win since a five-length score in the Grade 2 Kelso Handicap in October, Tizway ...Read More

Morning Line got the best of talented sprinter Apriority in the 111th running of the Grade 1 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct on Saturday. Sunrise Smarty dashed to the front and held the lead for a half at 19-1. The longshot began to fade and Yawanna Twist, Apriority, and Morning Line took up the running...Read More
Inherit the Gold stretched his winning streak to four Saturday afternoon at Aqueduct Racetrack, taking command at the top of the stretch and drawing off to a two-length victory over favored Yawanna Twist in the $65,000 Kings Point.   Carrying Eddie Castro and high weight of 124 pounds, Inherit ...Read More
Yawanna Twist, a sharp winner of his 2011 debut following a nine-month layoff, heads a field of six entered in Saturday’s $65,000 Kings Point for New York-breds going 1 1/8 miles at Aqueduct Racetrack.   A winner of his first two starts by a combined margin of nearly 10 lengths over the Big A’...Read More
I don’t know about you, but some horses immediately stand out for me. They grab my attention the first time I see them, and I know right then that I will be a fan for as long as they race. Yawanna Twist is just such a horse. I happened to see his first race on television the day after Christmas on 2...Read More

  • Waya · I also bet Yawanna in the Preakness and thought he might get there at one point. Do you think a mile is a better distance for him than a 1 1/4 miles? · 839 days ago ·

  • zatt · I would not discount him yet going longer, but my feeling is that shorter or middle distances will be his forte. I could seeing him winning plenty of races up to 9 furlongs, but as much as I like him, I honestly do not have him on my BC Classic radar right now. · 838 days ago ·

Yawanna Twist has been working solidly at Gulfstream park this winter, and his most recent work was a bullet 5 furlongs in 59 4/5. He should be ready to race very soon. I don't know what Dutrow plans to do with him. Allowance race or stakes, but I think he should race well this year.
I really liked this guy going intop the Gotham and I thought that he would be a competitor in the summer in the three year old stakes, but I havn't heard anything about him in a while. Anybody got a clue what the plan is for this promising colt?
Trainer Rick Dutrow, Jr. could be a tough opponent in several upcoming graded stakes races for 3-year-olds here in New York.   “We’re going to the one-mile race on Belmont Day [the Grade 1 Acorn on Saturday, June 5] with Amen Hallelujah,” Dutrow said of the Grade 2 Santa Ynez and Grade 2 Davon...Read More
The performance of the week was turned in by Preakness hero Lookin At Lucky. Kudos to Bob Baffert for going against the grain and giving Martin Garcia the nod over Garrett Gomez. The latter was not to blame for a troubled Derby journey but needed to be replaced from a karma perspective. The move pai...Read More
Im sorry if this silk doesn't look correct. I just don't like the ugly eye catcher prints that this horse had.
