  • travel_vic · Of course the ealier ones are going to be in more pedigrees...This is an unsawerable question on par with which is the best horse...I 'll bet that if we could bring Eclipse here in a time machine, allowance horses could run rings around him...best of a decadle is about all you can isolate. · 1 day ago ·

It is surprising that Bold Ruler was such a good race horse on the track because he was so crippled with arthritis in his spine that Arcaro would tell sunny Jim that he could barely walk after the race. Sunny Jim used electro magnet blanket on him before the Preakness and Arcaro was shocked at how well BoldbRuler ran that race.

  • buckpasser · Part of it, I am sure is that he was part of such an incredible crop of horses. But he does get enormous respect for his stud career. · 2 days ago ·

Eddie Arcaro set the record for most number of Preakness Stakes wins by a jockey, six, when he rode Bold Ruler to victory for Wheatley Stable.Read More
Should be ranked much higher.
Nice horse.
One of the top 5 sires (in no order, my opinion), Fair Play, Native Dancer, Northern Dancer and Sadler's Wells.

The date was May 4, 1957. The Soviet Union was only a few months away from sending a dog into space, and in the world of thoroughbred horse racing, one of the most talked about races in history was about to be run under the famed twin spires. The main players were part of what many still call the fi...Read More

  • rowan.maizer · So many horses connected to Bold Ruler, Secretariat, Seattle Slew that do not perform like they should, that do NOT win big are thrown away like garbage, roaming the streets of South Florida, in illegal slaughter farms IN Florida and other USA cities, shipped over seas for breeding and racing and if they do not do well there, they are made into someones dinner. I have recently found a few other horses in a Florida rescue connected to the older famous horses. Perhaps KARMA will take care of the breeders, owners and trainers and everyone else who are cruel to the majestic horse · 601 days ago ·

Early in the summer I remember several of the Monmouth Park writers having a discussion about the quality of racing after The Haskell. Which hearkens the question: Is there life after The Haskell?Read More

  • mshutty · Hey Matt, that was a juicy Pick 5 for the prices of the winners. How has the dirt track and turf course played in the early going at Monnmouth? · 726 days ago ·

  • AndyScoggin · mshutty--The pick 5 are usually great value. I have another blog with my pick selections at MTH andyscoggin.blogspot.com. The main track has been playing fairly, depending on how the race sets up. The turf is getting harder without rain lately, so could get more speed favoring. Joe Bravo is a great turf rider! p · 725 days ago ·
