Lookin At Lucky Haskell Favorite

humphrey · It will be interesting in seeing which of these colts bounced back from the over-exertion the Triple trail causes. Early on, Trappe Shot fits the bill but may not fit the profile too well. ,,,along with the "old" Ice box and Super Saver. · 1 days ago

Eight Expected for Haskell

Paddy O'Prado Sharp in Colonial Turf Cup

Paddy O'Prado, under confident handling by Kent Desormeaux, took over in the stretch and powered away to post an easy three-length tally in Saturday's Grade 2 Colonial Turf Cup at Colonial Downs. Read More

medlocke · Indeed a nice win for Paddy O'Prado today. He looked sharp on the turf at Colonial Downs today. But that said, I still believe that 2010 has produced one of the overall weakest groups of 3yr.old male contenders that we've seen in racing for sometime. Just how weak, I believe, will be exposed at Churchill Downs in November in the 2010 Breeders Cup Classic. I don't think anyone would, or could, argue that Lookin At Lucky as at or on top of the 3yr.old colt division. I think it's likely that Baffert will race him in this years Classic. I also believe he'll be swept aside by Zenyatta, Quality Road, likely Blame, maybe Rachel Alexandra, and who know's yet who the Euro contingent will be? JMO. · 42 days ago

cigar · This win further reaffirms how the wet track moved up a lot of horses in the Derby. Paddy O Prado is not nearly the same horse on dry dirt as he is wet dirt, and he's not nearly the same horse on wet dirt as he is on turf. · 41 days ago

North Rodeo Upsets Favorite at Churchill

Donald Dizney’s North Rodeo surged past 1-5 favorite Spun Silver and Pina Colada in the shadow of the wire to win Saturday’s $47,824 allowance feature for fillies and mares three-years-old and up by a head at Churchill Downs.

Belmont favorite: Do you like Ice Box or First Dude?

Despite the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winners sitting out the Belmont Stakes on June 5, it will still be a pretty decent horse race. So with that in mind, which runner-up do you like: Ice Box (second in the Derby to Super Saver) or First Dude (second in the Preakness to Lookin At Lucky)? Read More

2010 Triple Crown Ten - May 18th

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
