What the Nation is saying about the 2011 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint (LS)...

Life is full of decisions. Big and small, each decision helps shape the path we travel down a day from now, a month from now, and even for years to come. Unlike humans, thoroughbred race horses have a majority of their decisions made for them. The path they ultimately lead is shaped by their connect...Read More

  • cocoa2 · I missed your earliest comment, icy, but to get likes I either add drop dead stupid comments and get "likes of pity", or I add some funny content. Rarely I will like myself, like when I compared the '57 derby and this one by the fact that just like Shoemaker screwed up on the best horse Leparoux might as well. Apparently nobody shares my bad humor. · 36 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · Horse racing is the most luck dependant gambling I have ever participated in, either as an owner or bettor. As far as betting it runs in streaks as you know. That was a nice pick on the #2 Out of Bounds as I wouldn't have reversed it as I thought the #4 was by far the best.After seeing your remarks I looked a lot closer and loved the bloodlines.I also handicap a lot of races that are interesting with but no intention of betting, it's fun.

  • ahnuckolsjr · It's kind of funny, but I raised 2 of the two year-old fillies under consideration for this year's Juvenile Fillies race, Miss Netta and Heart of Destiny. They were both very interesting fillies to watch grow up and work with every day. Miss Netta was very opinionated and would let you know that she, not you, was going to determine what she did and did not do. I had the privilege of selling her at Saratoga to Everett Dobson and his Cheyenne Racing Stable. Randy Bradshaw told me that she still has her ways and that you have to convince her that what you want her to do was her idea first. She is really a neat filly, one of the nicest I've ever been around. Heart of Destiny, who I still own with my old college classmate, Jamie Greene, was a different type of filly. She was always a little taller than her contemporaries and just kind of looked through you as if to say "I see things way beyond you!" She was a real competitor in the 30 acre pasture she and Miss Netta played in. I used to love to look out my office window and watch them run and play in their field. Heart of Destiny would always go to the lead and when they would toyn and head back in a different direction, she would always go back to the front. Another filly that grew up with these two was second to Samolia Lemonade in her 1st start. Her name is Conquesta, an Empire Maker filly. Given the company that she was competing with she may be fun to watch as she competes for Mr. Marc Keller. · 224 days ago ·

Racing needs to bring its head out of the sand and into the light. The leaders of this sport need to make sure that it is not being cheapened and stand up and fight for what will improve it, rather than let others make decisions that just lead the sport deeper into oblivion.Read More
