What the Nation is saying about the Dixie Stakes...

Let me get this out of the way right now … I’m not a big bettor. That probably will come as a surprise to many of you, as closely as I follow the sport, and as often as I write about it, but it’s true. I live, eat, and breathe thoroughbred horse racing, but wagering is only one part of the game I en...Read More

It is not often that I choose to remember a horse so soon after his retirement, but the news that Paddy O' Prado's racing career had come to an end hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday. I had the good fortune of seeing Paddy several times in person last year, and whether the race was on turf or dir...Read More

If you are reading this then you, like me, survived the end of the world talk. So, we have that going for us. What we don't have going for us is a Triple Crown possibility in next month's Belmont Stakes. Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom was valiant in defeat, coming from far back and weaving thr...Read More

Heavy favorite Paddy O'Prado lived up to his top billing with a driving 1-1/2 length score in the Grade 2 Dixie Stakes at Pimlico on Saturday. Baryshnikov looked like the main competition on paper and he took the early initiative under Julien Leparoux. He set tepid splits of :24.76, :49.07, and 1:14...Read More
  • mark9811 · At 3/5 and against a bunch of elephants he only needed a six month layoff to beat 'em. I had $200 to W and P on him in the derby last year..we all know what happened next. Good running today though and hopefully a start of a good year for him. · 375 days ago ·

On sentiment alone, there is reason to like Nicanor in the Dixie Stakes. Few things in racing evoke greater sentiment than thoughts of Nicanor's full brother Barbaro, whose breakdown in the Preakness four years ago ranks among the most powerful memories that many fans will ever have of a horse race....Read More
Blame emerged as a force last fall with victories in the Fayette Stakes (G2) at Keeneland Race Course and Clark Handicap (G2) at Churchill Downs. The Arch colt will try to get his four-year-old season started with a victory on Saturday in the $100,000 William Donald Schaefer Stakes (G3) at Pimlico R...Read More
  • medlocke · I really like the looks of this colt!!! He's a real competitor, no doubt about it. I'm curios to see how well Blame performs after his winter lay-off. If he hits the track running in the same sort of form that he carried throughout 2009, he really could become one of America's top older colts to deal with in 2010. IMO. · 748 days ago ·

Six-year-old Parading continued his career-best form with a game half-length victory in the $150,000 Dixie Stakes (G2) at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday.“I got him beat at Keeneland, because I didn’t let him run early enough. He’s not an explosive horse, but he’s got stamina for days,” Desormeaux s...Read More
