Monday Morning Quarterbacking

The dust from the Derby has settled and it’s time for a little wrap up. I know I said I would never do this, I usually detest when this happens but really, it is time for some Monday morning quarterbacking. I usually try to stay loyal to the jockey, I assume that he gives the horse the best ride pos...Read More

AmbitiousD · Like the horse, love the trainer, not sold on the jockey. I'm still on the bandwagon, and its nice that there is elbow room now. He's still a good racehorse, he just needs some clean air to get that giant stride rollin · 21 days ago ·

Horse racing back in front of Congress at PA hearing: Watch live, follow Ray

As much as some members of Congress – at today’s hearing of the Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health – are certain to criticize the racing industry for drugging racehorses and not punishing those who break the rules, it is highly unlikely that any federal legislation to establis...Read More

Horsemen at Santa Anita Thursday morning were virtually unanimous in their opinions that cancellation of HBO’s horse racing series, “LUCK” following euthanization of a horse on Tuesday after a freak accident, will have a dramatically negative impact on California’s already bankrupt state.

Previously titled, My review of “Luck”

This morning, I was going to write a review of Luck, the horse-racing drama on HBO. I had finally seen the first two episodes, and I was very excited about it. Here, at last, was an amazing racing show. This was no Family Channel hash-up of The Black Stallion; this… Read More

Gary L. Stevens

Great jockey! George Woolf award winner! Also not a bad actor; actor in one of my favorite movies of all time Seabiscuit and one of the stars in the great new HBO series Luck.

travel_vic · Nice guy. Watched him a few seasons after he arrived in Seattle from Idaho where he rode for his dad. Came up to Vancouver where he won his first one hundred grander on a Washington invader to Vancouver, on a colt named Prarie Breaker. He flew up for the last race at old Longacres where he again rode a winner for his dad in that final race. · 85 days ago ·

At the Luck premiere: 'This is horse racing's epic'

Good Luck

Watching the pilot for David Milch’s upcoming HBO series “Luck,” I sort of felt the way the assortment of characters in the show are supposed to feel in their designated roles depicting life on the racetrack. I’m not sure where everything is heading and some of it isn’t pleasant to…Read More

Luck: The Weirdest, Oldest and Most Downright Interesting Hour of TV We Watched This Weekend

Movies are no country for old men. Or old anything, really: women, dogs, even Spider-Men. And so one of the instant pleasures of Luck, HBO’s new prestige drama that premieres in January but sneak-previewed last night, was watching hungry lions like Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte shake off the indigni...Read More

"Luck" is a winner for horse racing

It takes the new HBO series "Luck," which opens with Dustin Hoffman's character being released from jail, no more than about three minutes to get to the racetrack, and when it does it's immediately apparent that this will be nothing like the typical horse racing movie or television show. The show co...Read More

Monday, August 29th - NYRA Hits Rock Bottom

Whether it was arrogance, ignorance or pathetic prioritizing doesn’t really matter. The New York Racing Association’s handling of its announcement that Sunday’s racing card at Saratoga would be cancelled due to onrushing hurricane Irene marked the lowest point in NYRA’s stewardship of racing in New ...Read More

walt.gekko · While I think NYRA had privately wanted to cancel earlier, I also think they may have been under pressure from owners of some horses who were entered on Sunday to wait as long as possible before canceling, especially if such owners (and even more so those with horses in the Personal Ensign) might not have been able to make a return trip to see their horses run later this week in rescheduled runnings of such races. That may to me have been why NYRA waited so long even, hoping against hope that Irene would make a sharp right out to sea. · 273 days ago ·
