  • grdhzloinz · Fortunately I was able to attend the Kings Bishop race in Saratoga to see Caleb's Posse's win! He is a fantastic horse and knows how to win his race no matter the competitors. After his awesome win at Churchill Downs, I think he has proved himself worth of the Eclipse Award. · 45 days ago ·

When you’re a single man on Christmas Eve & you’ve made a habit for years of declining everyone else’s pitied invitations for a friendly holiday gathering, you learn to find things to do. Tonight was easy. Past performances for opening day at Santa Anita in hand. Let’s dig in.Read More

  • Mary Z. · No way is Turbulent Descent going to get the Female Sprint Eclipse. First off, not all of her wins can be considered sprints and her sprint wins weren't exactly fast, which is sort of the main theme of a sprint if I can for once openly like speed. Musical Romance is likewise not a fast sprinter. Too bad the fast females had injuries, like Hilda's Passion or Sassy Image-another one that had some bad races at Gulfstream. Here's a handicapping minor rule I use: throw out bad finishes for fillies at GP and any bad race by a horse that was stuck on the rail there. So I don't really have a pick for top female sprinter but I would really like some explanation as to why Switch was not run on dirt at 7f. as much as possible this year and not all the other experimentation? Not that I'm owed an explanation. Just put one in my stocking if inclined, thanks. Male sprinter: simply put Amazombie. Want more detail? I'll whip out equibase or it's there for all to review. Add in his DQ as a win cuz, truly not long ago he wouldn't have been taken down. Nowadays, yes, ancient times, probably not. · 59 days ago ·

  • JeremyAlmon · Caleb has the best resume in Graded Stakes. He id get beat by 6 lengths in Indiana, but he also didnt have Rajiv riding him there either. He is 3-0 on Caleb, he just knows how to ride him perfectly. If AK hadnt been injured it probably would have gone to him, but I dont think one race should determine the whole year. · 85 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · annmatt, HDG could get 10f plenty fine, and I'm sorry, BL was not even close to a shoe in after her last race, and would not have been because of her two losses prior. FO who won at 10f finished behind HDG in the Classic, and I heard people just yelling about the fact that with one extra furlong he would catch her...how did that work? HDG does not seem to run her best over Churchill. She did not have an overly impressive work over the track this year and still finished well. Trying to say what could have been will drive anyone mad. BL is a great horse, but did not have it this season plain and simple. HDG should not get a minus becase her two losses to BL at 10f were by a neck and a whisker. You don't take off because she beat her at a shorter distance. If you do that then you might as well take off BL for beating her at a distance longer than 9f. The score was 1-1, even. It goes to the horse who did the most, Grace. · 90 days ago ·

  • gocashking · Amazombie, by finishing the year with big wins in the Ancient Title and BC Sprint is a no brainer for the Sprint Champion Eclipse. It won't even be close. There's no way 7F and 8F wins will be rated higher than those two wins at the "traditional" sprint distance of 6F. Caling Flashpoint "brilliant" is also a bit of a stretch, I think. · 88 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · Craig, Poly is far from what I call a neutral surface. I don't typically see a dirt horse relishing that type of surface. The Cushion is the most dirt like of all the syns and that is the on he ran on. Poly is quirky, even some turf horses have trouble with that surface. However, he did beat a very game multi surface threat in Candy. · 92 days ago ·

  • Winplacsho · I'm an idiot for playing pick 3s, I just need to stick with straight bets in BC races, they pay good enough as it is. Plus, the races are so competitive its tough to string 3 in a row. I only used Caleb's Posse & Trappe Shot in pick 3's. I instead should've been focusing on nail the trifecta & 10-cent super. · 93 days ago ·

If he runs with that burst like he did in the Forego & Jms Marvin he will be very very tough to beat. There should be plenty of pace to run at, with Euroears & Giant Ryan. · 100 days ago ·
