What the Nation is saying about the Ohio Derby...

Prospective has a goal in his mind, and that goal is to land a victory in the Grade 3 Ohio Derby on 7th July, 2012, which will take place at Thistledown, North Randall, Ohio. The trainer, Mark E. Casse, will try to land the victory over the course of 1 1/16 miles, and add another victory to his much...Read More
Caleb's Posse rebounded from a poor effort in the Arkansas Derby (gr. I) last out to win the $100,000 Ohio Derby (gr. III) June 4 at Thistledown.It was the first graded stakes victory for the 3-year-old son of Posse, who was 12th in the April 16 Arkansas Derby when unable to overcome a bad start. Tr...Read More
Stakes performers Caleb's Posse and Wilkinson are the cream of a well-matched field of 10 three-year-old thoroughbreds competing Saturday at Thistledown in the $100,000 Ohio Derby. Caleb's Posse began the year with a victory in the $100,000 Smarty Jones at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark., but the ...Read More
The 77th running of the $100,000 Ohio Derby (gr. III) at Thistledown returns to its traditional June scheduling this year. The venerable race tops a 17-race stakes schedule at the Cleveland-area track for 2011. Highlighting the latter part of the meeting is the Best of Ohio Series Oct. 15. With the ...Read More
Pleasant Prince waited until speedster Mykindacandy ran out of gas in the Thistledown stretch, then beat Worldly by a nose at the wire to win the Grade III 76th annual $100,000 Ohio Derby on Saturday.Read More
Pleasant Prince has been tabbed a strong 6-5 early favorite to win Saturday's Grade III $100,000 Ohio Derby at Thistledown. He is part of a 10-horse field that has some talent, and plenty of question marks.Read More
Unlike last year, when it was scheduled on the fly, the Ohio Derby already has a spot on the calendar at Thistledown for 2010. The Derby, with a smaller purse and lower grade, will be run July 31, Thistledown officials said Feb. 23. The Cleveland-area track released its full stakes schedule, which a...Read More
Gone Astray validated his eye-catching win in the Pennsylvania Derby (G2) nearly four weeks ago with a hard-fought 2¼-length score over stubborn pacesetter War Fighter in the $150,000 Ohio Derby (G2) on Saturday at Thistledown.Read More
The Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup will be run at Belmont Park on Saturday, October 3rd, and the favorite for the ten furlong test will likely be Belmont Stakes (G1) and Travers (G1) hero Summer Bird. He is the other bird no more, and he has become especially dangerous since adding blinkers and showin...Read More
  • medlocke · I'll give Summer Bird credit where credit is due. Winning the Belmont and the Travers is more than respectable. But even his tactical speed and stalking trip will not help him on Saturday if the Belmont track stays dry. Quality Road's speed on a dry track, I think, will just prove to much for Summer Bird to tackle. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprise to see it be Macho Again making the big run at and trying to catch Quality Road just like he did against Rachael Alexandra. · 1330 days ago ·

  • mdracing69 · Summer Bird does have some advantages in the JC Gold Cup. He is a grade one winner at Big Sandy and exits a grade one victory at ten furlongs. He has enough tactical speed to keep Quality Road in his sights as well. That being said, I still think Quality Road will prevail on Saturday. Summer Bird may have peaked in the Travers, while Quality Road should be rounding back to his Florida Derby form. Probably not a great betting race but I'll be glued to the TV nonetheless. · 1330 days ago ·

Thirty-two nominations are pretty good for a race that, up until six weeks ago, wasn't even on the schedule. Thistledown officials Sept. 23 said that's the number of nominees for the grade II Ohio Derby Oct. 3. The purse is $150,000, down from $300,000 last year.Read More
