What the Nation is saying about the 2013 Gazelle Handicap (G2)...

Since closing with a furious late rush to finish fourth in a 5 ½ furlong state-bred race at Penn National in her career debut, Princess of Sylmar has come a long way, baby. From modest beginnings, can a Kentucky Oaks champion come? I have reason to believe that the answer may be yes, and at most att...Read More

  • buckpasser · Thanks Brian. I liked her but was on the fence, but put some money on her across the Board after reading yor column. For the record I liked Beholder and Close Hatches. · 15 days ago ·

The Wood Memorial was billed as the battle of “V” versus “V”, Verrazano against Vyjack, and that is exactly how it played out. Verrazano got the “V” for Victory in the battle down the stretch against Vyjack and a late-running Normandy Invasion.Read More

Save for a fourth-place finish in her debut in a sprint race against Pennsylvania-bred maidens last fall, King of Prussia Stable’s Princess of Sylmar has been untouchable. In four subsequent starts, all victories, the daughter of Majestic Warrior has crossed the finish line a minimum of 5 ¼ lengths ...Read More

The 2013 Wood Memorial sets up as a battle between Vyjack and Verrazano. That makes the race a clash of “V” versus “V” and thus it is very easy to think of the historic slogan of "V for Victory".Read More

With just two prior starts on her resume, a fast and determined Close Hatches proved she belongs among the leaders of the 3-year-old filly division Saturday, turning back a strong challenge by Princess of Sylmar to win the 118th running of the Grade 2, $250,000 Gazelle at Aqueduct Racetrack.

Making her stakes debut as the 8-5 favorite in Saturday’s Grade 2 Gazelle is Juddmonte Farms’ Close Hatches, an impressive winner of both her starts at Gulfstream Park. Trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, the First Defence filly was a seven-length maiden winner on January 26 and a front-running 1 ¼-...Read More
