  • Mary Z. · No way is Turbulent Descent going to get the Female Sprint Eclipse. First off, not all of her wins can be considered sprints and her sprint wins weren't exactly fast, which is sort of the main theme of a sprint if I can for once openly like speed. Musical Romance is likewise not a fast sprinter. Too bad the fast females had injuries, like Hilda's Passion or Sassy Image-another one that had some bad races at Gulfstream. Here's a handicapping minor rule I use: throw out bad finishes for fillies at GP and any bad race by a horse that was stuck on the rail there. So I don't really have a pick for top female sprinter but I would really like some explanation as to why Switch was not run on dirt at 7f. as much as possible this year and not all the other experimentation? Not that I'm owed an explanation. Just put one in my stocking if inclined, thanks. Male sprinter: simply put Amazombie. Want more detail? I'll whip out equibase or it's there for all to review. Add in his DQ as a win cuz, truly not long ago he wouldn't have been taken down. Nowadays, yes, ancient times, probably not. · 168 days ago ·

“I’m No. 1,” comes the boast from an old vaudeville gag. “Yeah,” is the punch line. “And there’s nothing lower than No. 1.” Bob Baffert might have mixed emotions about the first digit on the numerological chart. He’s No. 1 in Santa Anita’s training standings, but when it comes to post position draws...Read More

  • DeadHeat · he'll have another couple horses on the pace with him this time. It should be interesting. Pace won't be soft and it won't just be one horse breathing down his throat. · 235 days ago ·
