What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about the Acorn...

It is not easy being a jockey in New York, even for one of the stars of the rider colony like John Velazquez. The competition is fierce and so is the criticism sometimes.Read More

  • notobsessed · Not to knock Johhnny V, but Shackleford justs runs as fast as he can from gate to wire, usually in the lead, does it really matter which jockey is on him? · 1 day ago ·

Contested earned her first Grade 1 victory in front-running fashion Monday afternoon at Belmont Park, leading at every call to win the 82nd running of the $300,000 Acorn Stakes.Read More
I’m just disappointed that the most horses we can hope to see in the three big grade 1 races at Belmont on Monday add up to a grand total of 17. I pray there are no scratches.Read More

  • annmatt · Sorry you are having a bad day, Brian! You should be pleased your Mr. Commons has a nice field of 11 in the American coming up tomorrow. One of my favorite new horses is a filly by the name of Aqsaam, and she's running in the Sheepshead Bay S at Belmont tomorrow in a FIELD OF FOURTEEN!! · 5 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · Both solid numbers and I do think It's Tricky seemed to relish the slop more than Turbulent Descent. Good race by both fillies but I definitely agree, It's Tricky ran awesome. · 350 days ago ·

It’s Tricky barreled into the lead at the top of the stretch and held off heavy favorite Turbulent Descent to upset Saturday afternoon’s 81st running of the Grade 1, $300,000 TVG Acorn on the Belmont Stakes undercard at Belmont Park.Read More
  • fastcarsandfasthorses · Wow, what a run in the sloppy Acorn. Does anybody knowIt's Tricky's Beyer? I'm estimating a 97. · 353 days ago ·

  • fastcarsandfasthorses · It's up on DRF now - 105 Beyer! This is the highest Beyer of any three-year old (colt or filly) going a mile or longer all year. Either this filly really loves the slop or she is maturing into a monster, or both. · 352 days ago ·

  • Thoroughbred44 · Only time will tell if she can come back to her 2010 form. Hopefully she can, I'm a fan, she's a great filly, too bad she had to miss a lot of basically her biggest season. · 359 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · I hope she comes back and is able to run at the same level she left at, that would be very special. Hopefully she'll be able to put together a strong season in the last half of the year (and maybe next year as well). · 356 days ago ·

  • BigAConfidential · Welcome back, Brian! I must hear about your trip to the Emerald Isle at some point. You and I have both liked Royal Delta for some time. She got a dream setup Friday, yes. But she still capitalized very nicely. Interested to watch the rest of her campaign play out. · 372 days ago ·
