  • footlick · Mary Z.- I'm not sure he likes soft turf, which might be why they really haven't run him outside of Cal much. If the turf was to his liking, I certainly think he could have taken the Sword Dancer. The fact that he won the Pacific Classic, though has opened up even more options for him in California, so they may opt for a turf and synthetic year. · 35 days ago ·

  • LAZMANNICK · I wouldn’t hold a dismal finish in the Charlestown race against any horse. The track is essentially a bull ring, much like Fairplex, with very sharp turns. The track was also sloppy and sealed. It’s easy to see that he didn’t like that race based on how dismal he ran and yet he bounced back and won his next five in a row. As for the Kilroe Mile, Acclamation isn’t a miler and is zero for two in that particular race. He’s a true router who likes to set a controlled pace and when he can do this is very tough to beat. In fact the only way to beat him in a route when they are planning on taking him to the front is to challenge right from the beginning. · 35 days ago ·

Saturday’s Pick 6 from Del Mar features a carryover of more than $104,000 and includes two stakes races. First up is a wide open renewal of the Osunitas (5th race) and graded dropper Turning Top is a logical threat.

For the human connections of Acclamation, the choice was between last Sunday’s Grade III, $100,000 Sunset Handicap on closing day of the Hollywood Park meeting, or  Saturday’s Grade I, $300,000 Eddie Read Handicap on the opening weekend at Del Mar. The decision: scratch from the Sunset and gear...Read More

  • mrsreed · @terrydickens, Acclamation's family were speedballs. The only stamina he could possibly come up with in this field (I deduce) is from his great-great grandparents. · 202 days ago ·

Two faces will tire and beat each other out. Smart Bid and Jeranimo will take this one. Will be surprised at Leroy's speedballing at the quarter pole. The Brazilian horse don't look bad either.
The first head-to-head bet in Del Mar history, a newly-installed regular Saturday feature-race offering during the meeting, is Acclamation vs. Caracortado in the Eddie Read. “It’s pretty cool to be a part of the first one,” said Mike Machowsky, trainer of Caracortado. “I’ll be interested to see what...Read More

VICTOR ESPINOZA (The Usual Q.T.) -- "He's learned to relax; it's made all the difference for him. I was just sitting back there behind those front two (Acclamation and Enriched) and they were going in and out.

  • medlocke · As the likes of Tuscan Evening and Caribbean Sunset before him. It will not at all surprise me to see Crowded House come to America and flourish. When this colt won the Racing Post Trophy as a 2yr.old at Doncaster over very fast turf. He let loose with an incredible turn of foot to blow by Jukebox Jury for the win. Crowded House also showed excellent synthetic track form over the Tapeta on Meydan during the Dubai Carnival. Finishing a half-length behind Allybar in the Al-Maktoum Challenge Rd. 2. And of course, Allybar ended up in that 3 horse photo between himself, Lizard's Desire, and Gloria De Campeao to decide the Dubai World Cup. Allybar also beat Presvis during the carnival, too. · 566 days ago ·
