  • 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 ·

Though many factors go into picking winners, workouts can shed some light if a horse is ready to deliver a peak performance.Read More

  • travel_vic · Unless you are THERE on the grounds to SEE them evolve, in what company under what weight in what path in what conditions with what equipment AND you know or do not know the medications they are on (no drug tersts after workouts you know) then it is a guessing game which are worth noting an which are worth passing. Read Dr. William Quirin in this regard or wake up early several mornings, go out and see for yourself. · 68 days ago ·

  • travel_vic · you have a horse with breathing touble, as many do who are inside the dusty dirty inner parts of barns. In order to help the animal to breathe you give him a standard dose of clenbuterol. He is breathing well and you make sure to give him said dose at least 4 days before he runs so as to not have a drug positive. Having open bronchi, he works out is a time augmented not by talent or conditioning, but by pharameutical bronchodilation. Now tell me that work out will tell us how the horse will run on race day without the medication? · 67 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 ·

  • Cigar16 · All fans should go to a live Breeders Cup at least once. But even with stars in my eyes I can see travel_vic's point. Watching at home you do get to see all of it, at the track, even with a good seat it has its drawbacks. I have gone to several, and do not regret the hassles etc. But watching at home you have the best seat in the house. At home there are no dirty bathrooms, parking issues, crammed bleacher seating, (shame on GP in 99, I was a sanctioned sardine) long lines at the windows, jammed self service machines, lines at concessions, backups at valet parking, you name it! Only problem is if there is a late scratch you cannot cancel your tickets. :) · 100 days ago ·

  • arazi · This is disappointing. Motion has looked like a genius with Aruna as of late, but something tells me his luck is going to run out. Running a turf horse on dirt is risky stuff. He may just want to run in the FM Turf. · 102 days ago ·
