  • nancyalis · It's a good thing, too, because I can't get horse racing TV here in NC & there's no web stream that I can locate. Saw the Blue Grass stream from Keeneland, however. · 769 days ago ·

When John Sadler saddled the filly Melair to beat Snow Chief with a 1:32 4/5 mile a quarter of a century ago, they said that he could only train sprinters. When Sadler won important races with Olympic Prospect, a $50,000 horse, they pidgeonholed him as a claiming trainer. When Sadler began piling up...Read More
Let's just say I made the right (or some would say wrong) move by sitting out yesterday's big Derby prep races and just watching for enjoyment. The inset was basically the feeling of most bettors yesterday when 40-1 shot Stately Victor (most felt like Stately Victim) upset the Blue Grass and 17-1 sh...Read More
Southern California invader Line of David, fresh off a pair of wire-to-wire turf route wins, went straight to the front and never gave up the lead in a surprising neck victory in the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park.

Todd Pletcher at last has figured out how to win the Kentucky Derby.First you start a short-priced favorite in Wood Memorial winner Eskendereya. Then back him up with six or seven talented stablemates. Pletcher could start a third of the 20-horse Derby field, making his natural odds of winning the ...Read More

Make no mistake, the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes is a good race to win.It's a Grade I, after all. It's also the best race at the best track in the best place to breed and sell horses in these United States, if not the world."It's like having a tryout on Broadway," said Joe Drape, racing writer for the ...Read More
It's a no brainer, and I'm not even thinking twice, if I'm running the LOOKIN AT LUCKY camp. Go get Calvin Borel right now and forget about it. As Countdown intimated earlier this spring from first-hand knowledge, Bob Baffert and his family have a long appreciation and almost disbelief about the mag...Read More
Patience. Simple, virtuous patience. It's the operative word for the trainers of the three top choices in the Grade 1, $1 million Arkansas Derby on Saturday here at Oaklawn Park. Whether it's Ken McPeek, who trains Noble's Promise, or Todd Pletcher, who sends out Super Saver, or D. Wayne Lukas, who ...Read More
Trying to decipher which 3-year-olds will be going to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), especially those on the graded earnings bubble, can be a dizzying task. Though we will have a much better idea of who is in and who is out after this weekend’s Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) ...Read More
NOBLE'S PROMISE (Cuvee) held the lead in the stretch of Oaklawn Park's Rebel S. (G2) on March 13 while making his seasonal bow, but was just caught on the wire and nipped by a head for the victory that day. Three lengths farther back in that 1 1/16-mile test came DUBLIN (Afleet Alex), and the pair w...Read More
Trainer Tim Ice started his first ever in the Kentucky Derby last year. Summer Bird.

Summer Bird was swept out of his...Read More

Noble's Promise could have his final work for the Grade 1, $1 million Arkansas Derby on Saturday, depending on the weather at Oaklawn, trainer Ken McPeek said. Noble's Promise has been based here since finishing second by a head to champion Lookin At Lucky in the Grade 2, $300,000 Rebel on March 13....Read More
With Baffert saying Lookin At Lucky is likely bypassing the Arkansas Derby in favor of the Santa Anita Derby, it look's like Noble's Promise, who came up just a whisker short to LAL in the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn, will be the colt to beat in the Arkansas Derby, IMO. But I'm anxious to see how Odysseus comes out of the Arkansas Derby. He's the one colt that a person might get at a little bit of a price once he get's to Churchill Downs. If he does go off at longer odds than LAL, Eskendereya, Awesome Act, Rule, Interactif and some of the other bigger name prospects, Odesseus might very well turn out to be the best potential long-shot in the 2010 Kentucky Derby field. IMO.
