What the Nation is saying about Toby's Corner...

In perusing the national stakes landscape for 2013, I found a brand new race hosted by a rather unlikely suspect to be one of the most intriguing additions of the year. Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course offers up a whopping $500,000 in hopes of attracting some of the top young turf horse...Read More

  • Mary Z. · Toby's Corner, Nehro, Mission Impazible, Fast Alex. Toby's corner because I think that last race got him ready, Nehro because he likes to come in a close second, Mission Impazible because I think he could win this, so not the time to pick him to win--you know how he is, Fast Alex--I like him and he's good enough for fourth. My luck at Fair Grounds has been horrible though. Beware. · 419 days ago ·

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. · 461 days ago ·

Toby’s Corner, stablemate of 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom, is most famous for defeating 2010 Juvenile Champion Uncle Mo in last year’s Wood Memorial.
