What the Nation is saying about the Hawthorne Gold Cup...

Now I know that the list of race tracks I had visited in my life consisted of two (Arlington and Canterbury) until very recently. I have to say though; I wish I would have discovered Hawthorne a lot sooner! And even to the last race of this fall meet, the track continued to put together great cards ...Read More

In fact I felt right at home being surrounded by horse races and familiar faces, only this time it was at Chicago’s fall racing destination. The weather was perfect and the racing was even better. Before I go i...Read More

  • Winplacsho Β· Very evenly matched group. Giant Oak is also a sleeper for me in the Classic...not to win but to land in the bottom of the exotics at a huge price, very similar to Fly Down last year. I think his races at Saratoga are better than they appear, since no one could make up any significant ground in the stretch at Saratoga all year. Β· 237 days ago Β·

A guest blog by Scott Dick I originally set out to write a piece for the Nation about jockey Chris Emigh and his move to ride at Indiana Downs. When I first saw that Chris would be riding at Indiana Downs, I was a little surprised. I knew that with all the added purse money from the addition of Indi...Read More
