What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

  • Sullivan · Waquoit hands down. Spectacular Bid was born in the '70s, making him a 70's horse. Waquoit beat Broad Brush, Creme Fraiche, and schooled Skip Trial. He could run on or off the pace, sprint or route, he was a mudder, but wasn't slowed down by fast dirt or turf. Romped in the JCGC by 15 lengths and then coming off a stuttered seson due to injury, he ran a credible third in the BC to Alysheba. Won the MassCap and in doing so he beat Skip Trial who won the previous edition. Wasn't a slump in the breeding shed either. Probably the greatest mudder of all time. · 7 minutes ago ·

Omaha is certainly a coveted horse. We regard him as a legend, a triple crown winner on par with the greats of the 1930s. Would it surprise you to learn that on July 10, 1935 DRF published an article titled "Omaha Best Of Bad Lot"? Maybe things haven't changed so much after all.

just wondering? where did all the loyal D.Wayne Lukas fans who trashed him prior to the triple crown series go to and hide.they made it seem as though he actually forgot how to train.as a friend of mine and a very classy trainer. J J Toner always tells me. "you would be amazed how top of the shelf horses make you such a better trainer "

  • Buckpasser · One should be grateful to Henri de Kwaikowski for buying Calumet lock stock and barrel and setting up a trust fund for it as those trophies were going to dispersed to God knows where or even melted down as a number if them I believe the 75th Derby trophy was solid gold. Happy this great farm is on the upswing. · 4 hours ago ·

  • Sullivan · I visited Calumet last month and it is still something to behold. Walk three feet in the cemetery and you have passed three kentucky derby winners. Walking down a row brings you from Bewitch to Citation · 17 minutes ago ·

In your opinion, who is/was the most underrated (yet proven) racehorse of all time?

  • bronzeprincess33 · Sir Barton and Colin are both vastly underrated despite the former being a Triple Crown Winner and the other never lost. · 1 hour ago ·

  • Sullivan · Sir Barton was a good handicap horse and a almost complete failure at stud. If anything, he is overrated. As for Colin, he was great and I think the 15 sloton BH's list suits him well. · 29 minutes ago ·

If Pletcher has 5 or 6 horses in the race, that'll be a joke because in my opinion only 3 of his horses should be in the race and those are Unlimited Budget, Micromange, and Revolutionary.

I need to get my money back....this year's Belmont can be just like Drosselmeyer with Mr Palmer...
Can they please enter Mr Palmer. Please please?
Has a shot at nice odds if he runs in Belmont Stakes...his breeding suggests distance right up his alley.

  • illhaveanothertriplecrown · I agree, this horse is going to be a tough out from here on out. If the field stays as is it looks to be entertaining with Dan, Ticket and RTG along with Fort Larned. Love the Stephen Foster, what a great way to start off summer · 3 hours ago ·
