darkelfwizard · Kent has always been at the top of my Favorite Jockey list. How many jocks come within a NOSE of winning the Triple Crown? I wish him luck in battling whatever problems he has in life that drive him to the bottle. Get well, Kent!! · 37 days ago ·

rafirox · The HORSE came a nose from the Triple Crown. In fact, if not for the premature move that Kent made, we would have had 12 Triple Crown winners. The HORSE came within a nose, not the jockey... Real Quiet sparkled from the beginning, and being my first REAl Derby winning pick, he'll always have a special place in my heart. · 37 days ago ·

MIke in SB · I think last years winner, Caleb's Posse, is the best horse so far to win the Dirt Mile and last years race had the best field yet.

Mike in SB · I just got back from Saratoga and got to see Ghostzappers plaque hanging the the Hall of Fame. It reminded me of a blog written by someone, maybe from the Racing Form or ESPN, about how he was not going to vote for Ghostzapper because he raced so few times. While I personally think Ghostzapper belongs in the Hall, he made a pretty good point. Many of the top horses today will only have half or less of the starts of the great Hall of Fame horses from the past. · 267 days ago ·

airedale2008 · travel_vic is right about the incredible plaques of superstar horses lining the walls of the theater. It’s easy to spend hours reading the bios. The life size statues of Secretariat and Seabiscuit. The dozens of huge sterling silver cups from races of old. George Woolf’s silks, Red Pollard’s crop and even the leather leg brace he used to win the Santa Anita Handicap on Seabiscuit. As the commercial used to say, ”Try it, you’ll like it!” · 259 days ago ·

joeysly · Awesome article! Any great contender in any sport is going to face scrutiny for their ability to outperform everyone else whether it be a horse or a human. Fact of the matter is back in the day steroids were used on a daily basis in the horse industry without testing. Do you think Affirmed & Seattle Slew weren't on some type of saucy mixture? I highly doubt they were not! In todays race world the rules are strict and testing is stringent. There is no way IHA would have made it this far if he was sauced. Give the horse, his trainer, and Gutierrez some credit. Great article Ashley! Go IHA! · 351 days ago ·

yukichan · Just watched my local morning TV news--and was delighted to see that their angle is the 34 year draught between TC winners, and Mario--"rags to riches" angle. Not one mention of who the trainer is! This was also the case on the radio last night. Who knows, maybe the "underdog" angle, will prevail. I do believe that, as joeysly wrote, IHA's connections will face even more scrutiny if he becomes our 12th TC winner. Just as Lance Armstrong and Cycling, Marion Jones and T&F came under speculation, and jail time/medal stripping in Marion's case. O'Neill/Reddam will be one 60 Minutes interview away from defending their actions and our sport in general. O'Neill, to his credit, made some very good points on Bob Costas, show--primarily the need for national standards and commissioner--whether it was to diffuse the spotlight on him, he did make sense and came off as authentic. · 351 days ago ·

LongLiveBigRed · Thank you, Ashley. I'm firmly in the "IHA and Mario are the heroes in this story" camp. As for O'Neill; I believe he got what he deserved for all the infractions except this most recent one. The headlines could just have accurately been "CHRB Finds No Wrongdoing in O'Neill Case" instead of "O'Neill Suspended". For that reason, I draw a line through this most recent shacky (pun intended) case. Since his earlier violations are even further back than the 2010 case CHRB just decided, an argument can be made that O'Neill is cleaning up his act. I hope so; don't dissapoint us, Doug. As for Reddam and CashCall; paraphrasing Claude Rains in Casablanca, "I'm Shocked! Shocked to find a sports owner who is a cut-throat businessman!" If I were commenting on his business practices on Huffingtonpost, I'd probably be raking over the coals. But here, I'm writing about horse racing. I have always rooted for horses and jockeys over trainers and owners, and I want to see IHA and MG win the Triple Crown! · 351 days ago ·
