What the Nation is saying about the Golden Rod...

Picking ZATT's Star of the Week 52 times a year can be a mixed bag. Sometimes it is easy, with one horse dominating in such a way that I do not give the decision a second thought. In some weeks, it comes down to a pair of performances in which I need to make a difficult decision that is likely to be...Read More

Anita Cauley’s homebred On Fire Baby became only the seventh filly to sweep Churchill Downs’ fall stakes for 2-year-old fillies when she broke fastest from the gate and never looked back en route to a 6 1/4-length victory over Goldrush Girl in the 68th running of the $169,350 Golden Rod (Grade II) ...Read More
It had been 48 hours since Golden History’s five-furlong bullet work at Churchill Downs, but the staff in the barn of trainer Mark Casse continue to beam over that sharp training move on a dreary Wednesday morning beneath the famed Twin Spires. The barn is now counting the days until Churchill Downs...Read More
The year 2009 will best be remembered as it pertains to the Kentucky Oaks by Rachel Alexandra’s jaw-dropping 20 ¼ length victory, but one other very significant ritual was inaugurated for the 135th running of the Kentucky Oaks.

  • KyOaksRunner · It's going to be a fantastic race, and what a great field entered in a race that honors one of the greatest 3-year-old fillies of all time. I think Kathmanblu is the class of the field though Inglorious is pretty intriguing. · 359 days ago ·

The Grade 3 Rachel Alexandra Stakes on Saturday has shaped up to be the deepest sophomore filly race of the year and a fantastically exciting prep for the May 6th Kentucky Oaks. The field of seven includes stakes winners Gran Lioness, Bouquet Booth and Inglorious. But all eyes will be fixed on Kathm...Read More

  • KyOaksRunner · I think Bouquet Booth is a good filly but definitely outclassed by the likes of Kathmanblu and perhaps Inglorious and Gran Lioness. She didn't beat much of note in the Silverbulletday Stakes and had to work pretty hard to to it. · 356 days ago ·

With a handful of graded stakes for the juvenile set this past holiday weekend, it was almost a certainty that one of the youngsters would step up and make a statement. That announcement was delivered loud and clear by a filly named Kathmanblu. Vying for favoritism with Aide, a recent 19 length winn...Read More
Five D Thoroughbreds and Wind River Stables’ Kathmanblu swept to the lead at the head of the stretch and drew off by 8 ½ lengths to win the 67th running of the $163,800 Golden Rod Stakes (GII) for 2-year-old fillies on Saturday afternoon at Churchill Downs.   Trained by Ken McPeek and ridden b...Read More

Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone. There are no more Grade I races this year east of the Mississippi and only one graded stakes race in NY. What does that mean? Very little in the grand scheme of things as one of the biggest money-making seasons in New York racing is set to begin. Racing begins...Read More

  • UpInClass · Two weeks ago, I saw a runner that interested me a bit... I stable mailed 3rd place finisher - #2 Maximus Ruler - might turn out to be a good one. VIDEO REPLAY @ http://www.youtube.com/cdi#p/search/0/sJDIJpp4pxo ...Maximus Ruler goes again Saturday, Race 8 @ Churchill Downs. Morning Line of 5-1... not quite the 53-1 he was in his maiden effort. An entire card of 2yo races this Saturday. Maybe next year's Kentucky Derby winner will be among them...
