What the Nation is saying about the New Orleans Hcp....

Time for us to realize that sending our top horses to Dubai to race on an unknown surface, thousands of miles away from their home, is no longer worth the money and prestige. Time for the connections of top horses to concentrate their efforts keeping their stars at their peak through a full and high...Read More

Owner Ahmed Zayat on the scratch of Nehro: “He came back tied up (from his exercise Saturday morning). He’s fine right now. We’re very cautious with him, obviously, because he’s a very nice colt. We want to error on the right side so we decided the right thing to do is to make sure he’s a hundred pe...Read More

  • Mary Z. · Toby's Corner, Nehro, Mission Impazible, Fast Alex. Toby's corner because I think that last race got him ready, Nehro because he likes to come in a close second, Mission Impazible because I think he could win this, so not the time to pick him to win--you know how he is, Fast Alex--I like him and he's good enough for fourth. My luck at Fair Grounds has been horrible though. Beware. · 61 days ago ·

  • dubby30 · No reason to start off against males, but certainly wouldnt be appropriate to run in an ungraded stakes, there is a race at Oaklawn Park called the Grade 3 Azeri Stakes which has a $150k purse. Zenyatta's people felt no need to face males but 1 time per year, if facing less than stellar females was ok for her then it should be the same way with Grace. · 140 days ago ·

Shaun Bridgmohan describes Giant Oak’s old running style as that of “a big, playful kid who never really had his mind on what he was supposed to be doing.” There are even races the jockey is convinced they could have won if this son of Giant’s Causeway had kept his mind on business.
