What the Nation is saying about the John Battaglia Memorial...

Graham Motion brought a horse to Turfway Park nearly a year ago to see whether he fit in the Kentucky Derby scheme. The answers he got were affirmative, even in May, when Animal Kingdom used a victory in the Vinery Racing Spiral Stakes as a springboard to become the latest Derby winner. Read More
  • ARBY · After Sam Davis I said keep him on your radar. The Battaglia will let us know if he moves on to Turf only racing. He showed much at Saratoga on that surface. · 447 days ago ·

I am liking Mucho Macho Man’s chances for the Kentucky Derby more with every passing day, so much so that he has moved all the way up to #2 on my personal Kentucky Derby list.

  • annmatt · I also like Sway Away, Mucho Macho Man, Anthony's Cross, Soldat, and of course, Unclo Mo. I guess the other factor though in my becoming so enamored with Dialed In, I have the distinct sense that HE KNOWS he can win from anywhere on the track! He can swing wide and still make up the ground...if he can do stuff like that and still turn up the jets and accelerate, then I just feel confident about his chances to go all the way. He runs like he really enjoys it! Zenyatta was like that! Maybe I just miss her (and for sure I do) on the track, but I'm hoping Dialed In will give us all a thrill once more like watching Zen fly! · 810 days ago ·

The Golden Gate Fields-based 3-year-old gelding won the Gold Rush Stakes and California ...Read More
