What the Nation is saying about the Lady's Secret...

Champion older mare Zenyatta equaled Personal Ensign's mark of 13 wins without a loss when she won the Lady's Secret Stakes during the Oak Tree meet at Santa Anita.Read More
I was all prepared to write that there are simply too many prep races today. I was going to say, whether it is for the Kentucky Derby or the Breeders’ Cup, the proliferation of prep races, spread out over numerous racetracks, and all occurring at virtually the same time, is not for the overall good ...Read More

  • LAZMANNICK · I think that the concept of Super Saturday is great. It always has been. I was really looking forward to the day, but came away feeling kind of empty as if to ask the question, this is it? One concern is that the top level talent is spread very thin. The Beldame with five fillies, the favorite and one with a possible upset chance, and others that didn’t belong including LAT. Not much suspense. The Kelso scratched down to four entrants. There was possibly more suspense in wondering if Mo would move forward from the King Bishop and some suspense with J Bend because that one is an improving sort. Mo definitely was the highlight of the day. The Turf Classic maybe gave American Turf racing a bit of a shot in the arm. Cape Blanco was certainly all out to beat Dean’s Kitten and yet that one wasn’t all that far behind him when third in the Million. The Flower Bowl was a romp for Stacelita with the others all running for second money. The Vosburgh was the best race on the card in terms of depth of talent with some good sprinters and yet Giant Ryan dominated. Maybe the trouble at the start where Euroears and Apriority were taken out made it easier for him. What’s up with Trappe Shot? The JCGC was an extremely weak field for such a revered race. No G1 wins in a so called open G1 race. Flat Out’s first G1 win was dominant IMO. Stay Thirsty was a bust against older on a track he ran well on in the Belmont. Super Saturday used to be just that, but not anymore I’m afraid. · 600 days ago ·

  • annmatt · I loved Super Saturday, followed by the Arc races on Super Sunday morning and then a few lesser races Sunday afternoon! But this was my first such Super weekend! I came up with my own version of “speed watching” wall-to-wall races. I discovered how to watch all of this action without getting overwhelmed. With a little organization and a couple of online services, it was a snap. After experiencing racing online, I actually prefer it to the slower pace of watching on national television primarily because I can tailor the viewing experience to my own tastes and pace! This type of action has to appeal to younger fans, I would think, since their attention span is about 20 seconds! Once all the services get up to speed with HD, I think watching horse racing online is the best way to experience the sport. Am I the last one to know this and do others "speed watch" the races this way? Am I weird? · 598 days ago ·

  • WesWhite · TimgSmith, unfortunately its called Mismanagement. BL has been asked to do too much, and according to some, the synthetic surfaces have started to take a toll, as they usually do on horses that train primarily over them. This filly has been asked to run almost once every month for the last 24 months. And as game as she is the fact that her connections didnt give her the break she deserved after the BC and wanted to target meaningless races in Jan and Feb has thrown their plans for a loop. At the same time almost all of the horses that ran in the BC received nice long breaks after their 2010 campaigns. They are now paying for that due to having to give her time off during the championship time of the year. Hope that BL is able to recover somehow, she will be up against it against Ask the Moon, this filly just ran 10f at Deep Saratoga, is Fit like no other and is cutting back to 8.5 furlongs on what is likely to be a ultra fast surface at S.A. Stay Tuned!!!!! · 608 days ago ·

  • footlick · I am glad that I am not setting you on edge. I used the mile as an example because it is more pronounced there and can be easily seen, as it can at 10 furlongs at Belmont and 10 furlongs at Churchill for example. Just last year, we had an example with Haynesfield in the JGC defeating Blame. Many said that Blame needed two turns. If id doesn't make a difference why would thjey say that. There are many reasons why two turn races can bother a horse. It could be stamina, it could be that running in turns hurts their knees or ankles more, etc. I'm not saying that Wolfson wants to run against HDG, I'm sure he doesn't. But he may have legitimate reasons for wanting to keep her at 2 turns that you are discounting. He may feel she performs better. · 627 days ago ·

Oak Tree changed the Ladys Secret to the Zenyatta Stakes then it was changed back when Zenyatta un-retired, she won the Ladys Secret last year. I had not heard that they had changed it back to the Zenyatta Stakes, when did this happen?
Undefeated champion Zenyatta worked a leisurely four furlongs in :51.80 at Hollywood Park Aug. 25 on a fast track. Her time was the 19th fastest out of 20 working at that distance.Read More
