  • rorschach1992 · Did he actually state Mission Approved and Dean's Kitten as being some of the best in the WORLD???? MmmHmm. Is he not aware that they both ran on World stages and were absolute non-factors, Mission Approved 14th out of 16 in the Japan Cup and Dean's Kitten 9th and last in the BC Turf. That's really not a glowing recommendation for Cape Blanco. · 134 days ago ·

Perfect Shirl shocks euros Nahrain and Misty For Me in BC F&M Turf.   
  • ILuvTurfRacing · Terrific effort from Perfect Shirl to win the F&M Turf!! Not really any excuses to speak of for Nahrain. But Misty For Me had an extremely wide PP draw to overcome, plus she stumbled down to her knees coming out of the gate, and nearly went completely down, and she was still still closing like a shot. A better start and PP draw for MFM, and I believe she win's the F&M Turf. · 150 days ago ·

  • atamulonis · Never Retreat and Inglorious...those are two names that had slipped to the back of my mind in recent weeks. I do believe Never Retreat definitely has made a good case for consideration in the Eclipse Awards. Thank you for pointing that out because I had sure forgotten about her. · 199 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · annmatt, HDG could get 10f plenty fine, and I'm sorry, BL was not even close to a shoe in after her last race, and would not have been because of her two losses prior. FO who won at 10f finished behind HDG in the Classic, and I heard people just yelling about the fact that with one extra furlong he would catch her...how did that work? HDG does not seem to run her best over Churchill. She did not have an overly impressive work over the track this year and still finished well. Trying to say what could have been will drive anyone mad. BL is a great horse, but did not have it this season plain and simple. HDG should not get a minus becase her two losses to BL at 10f were by a neck and a whisker. You don't take off because she beat her at a shorter distance. If you do that then you might as well take off BL for beating her at a distance longer than 9f. The score was 1-1, even. It goes to the horse who did the most, Grace. · 199 days ago ·

  • gocashking · Amazombie, by finishing the year with big wins in the Ancient Title and BC Sprint is a no brainer for the Sprint Champion Eclipse. It won't even be close. There's no way 7F and 8F wins will be rated higher than those two wins at the "traditional" sprint distance of 6F. Caling Flashpoint "brilliant" is also a bit of a stretch, I think. · 197 days ago ·

Last evening before the filly and mare turf, French filly Announce acted like a punch drunk welterweight, got a little spooked, hit the rail, and brushed by (ironically) an ambulance. She seemed fine, but according to the ESPN telecast she had some scrapes and was scratched by the track vet.Read More

Stacelita 2-1 from the #2 post in the Filly & Mare Turf.
Flaxman Holdings Ltd.’s Aruna, with jockey Sheldon Russell up, worked five furlongs over a fast main track in 1:03.20 after the renovation break, a move that left trainer Graham Motion with a difficult decision regarding the 4-year-old filly. Aruna, who never has run on dirt, is pre-entered in the G...Read More
  • arazi · This is disappointing. Motion has looked like a genius with Aruna as of late, but something tells me his luck is going to run out. Running a turf horse on dirt is risky stuff. He may just want to run in the FM Turf. · 211 days ago ·
