What the Nation is saying about the 2011 Charles Town Classic (G3)...

Saturday's $1,000,000 Charles Town Classic has attracted a field of fourteen but only ten can run around the half mile oval and Rule is proven over the bullring configuration. Read More
  • ArturoLaguna · Mr. Zipse: If memory serves me right, Tackleberry beat rule in Gulfstream last month. Granted Rule won the Delta million in his 2 year campaign, but that was very soft company and a solitary victory does not make 1 proven in the bullring configuration. JUst like in his previous 2-3 starts, Rule will be a bridesmaid once more. So, I'm picking Tackleberry and Game on Dude exact box. David Flores on G ON D is the King of the Fairplex bullring... · 410 days ago ·

  • ArturoLaguna · Thead"or- I hope for the sake of the horse and the connections that my ruminations are proven incorrect. As a former international corporate banker, I just don't see Mr. Repole the successful entrepreneur that we know would even countenance gelding a 2 yr old champion. Even if UM doesn't run in or win the KD, he will still be on much demand as a commercial sire in view of his precociousness. · 413 days ago ·

  • Thead'or · If Uncle Mo isn't a longer distance horse as we hoped, he would do the racing world a severe justice in gelding this horse. We need sturdier horses, and IF, and I say IF, Uncle Mo isn't that. Why take him to the breeding shed? Hes a very wealthy man, he doesn't need the money. Uncle Mo could be an icon of the racing world. · 413 days ago ·
