What the Nation is saying about the 2013 Southwest Stakes (G3)...

Super Ninety Nine gave Bob Baffert his third consecutive winner and fourth victory in five years in the Southwest Stakes. Is he just another brilliant miler?Read More

  • travel_vic · No that is the very odd thing about this years group NONE of them have been pushed like they will in a few weeks, BUT one has to recall that energy DISTRIBUTION is all about percentages expended in each fraction not absolute velocities. I am confident that same hall mark that has worked for over 28 years will show up again. · 63 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · I find it interesting that not only did Elmutahid finally win when stretched out to 9 furlongs for the first time, but he did so in his first start on dirt. Looks like he relished both the distance and the new surface. I'll have to give him another look for tomorrow's FOY. · 116 days ago ·

Bob Baffert reached into his very deep 3-year-old pocket and found yet another serious Derby contender in Super Ninety Nine, winner of Monday’s Grade III Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Read More
99 was challenged by 3 different horses for lead, all speed horse. When challenged Bejarano would give him alittle more reins. They just couldn't keep up. Fear the Kitten is a Dead Closer/Grinder type with no distance limitations, and alot of talent. The two best horses will move on. All the others are servicable and very nice.
With morning line odds of 10-1 in the Southwest Stakes, I'm taking another look at Brown Almighty in his second start on dirt.Read More

  • jay s. · The more I look at 99, the tougher he looks. Not sure where our Texas Bling will end-up, but I think he will make the winner earn it. Perhaps he'll be the one to get his picture taken. Tough time with Tiz and Lute. I can picture either one winning, or running dead last. · 120 days ago ·

Who knows, after a pair of bombs come in this afternoon in graded stakes at Laurel and Oaklawn, today’s holiday may forever be known as Long Shot’s Day. At least that’s my story, and I’m sticking with it. Yes, I like two of them today, and the good news is I don’t expect either Broad Rule or Officer...Read More

  • dani.pugh · If only gallop outs won races. Bobby needed to get something out of the race. First time back, won't be back till mid/late march. Lucky has race 7/8 times already, was running back off of three weeks, he didn't need to get a good gallop out. He needed points and he got them. Bobby doesn't need points as much, he needed fitness. · 130 days ago ·
