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

“Rest in Peace, Kensei.” I saw those words last week on Facebook, and my heart just sank. Kensei had been a horse that I watched and admired for the better part of four seasons, and in the time that it took me to read four simple words, I knew he was gone. Kensei was a five-year-old son of Mr. Greel...Read More

  • JWC8282 · One of my favorites of all-time. Saw this horse break his maiden and win the Jim Dandy. It is a shame because I think he was coming back into form. R.I.P. · 254 days ago ·

Lightly raced Dominus seized an early lead and turned back odds-on favorite Adios Charlie to earn his first graded stakes victory on Saturday at Belmont Park in the Grade 2, $150,000 Dwyer.   Making his second start against winners, Dominus strolled through fractions of 24.28, 47.86, and 1:11.7...Read More
In the next race, the Suburban Handicap, I expect recent lifetime best performances by Rodman and Hymn Book to cause lower than deserved odds for today. Meanwhile the midwest shipper, Flat Out is coming off two solid races at Lone Star and Churchill Downs in his latest. Despite not getting the win i...Read More

Every horseman’s dream is to have a horse compete in the Triple Crown, but as the second half of 2011 gets underway, the connections of several sophomores in Saturday’s Grade 2, $150,000 Dwyer wouldn’t change places with anyone. Read More
Cool Blue Red Hot will be making his stakes debut in the Grade 2, $150,000 Dwyer for 3-year-olds on July 2, and trainer Angel Penna, Jr., is hopeful the Harlan's Holiday colt will fulfill the promise he showed heading into his sophomore campaign.

Upstaging the 143rd running of the $1 million Belmont Stakes (Grade I), the most impressive performance by a three-year-old on Saturday came with Coil dispatching his five rivals as the 4-to-5 favorite in the $100,000 Affirmed Handicap (Grade III) at Hollywood Park. Read More
  • BrianZipse · I have always liked this one ... With the Triple Crown crew, shall we say struggling just a bit, it might be a new star of the division who takes over in the summer and fall. Coil is a very interesting candidate to do just that. · 353 days ago ·

The performance of the week was turned in by Fly Down in the Grade 2 Dwyer Stakes at Belmont Park. The promising Nick Zito runner earned a 100 BSF for his romping off the pace win over Drosselmeyer and must be viewed as a major player in the Belmont Stakes. Zito also has Derby runner-up Ice Box...Read More
Fly Down’s last-to-first victory in the Grade 2, $200,000 Dwyer on a blustery Saturday afternoon at Belmont Park may have earned the colt a shot at the Belmont Stakes.   The 3-year-old son of Mineshaft barreled into the lead rounding the far turn and pulled clear to a six-length win over 3-5 f...Read More

If the connections of Drosselmeyer were hoping that the Dwyer would be an audition for the Belmont Stakes they probably weren't too pleased with what they saw yesterday.  Fly Down ran away from the field in the stretch after sitting in last during the early stages of the race about a length or ...Read More

  • mshutty · Totally disagree. Warrior's Reward will defeat Quality Road due to lack of current conditioning and questionable ability without a clear speed bias to work in his favor. Warrior's Reward is a late developer and will be ready for a peak effort at Saratoga. Not a big Calvin fan but he did make the right decision in this case · 1063 days ago ·
