What the Nation is saying about the Prince of Wales's Stakes...

Animal Kingdom, Ascot, and Shuttlecock

Should the news of the sale of a majority interest in Animal Kingdom's breeding rights to Australian interests be seen only as a negative?Read More

ARBY · Your analysis and thoughts line up with a "World Class" athlete. Animal Kingdom has a true shot at letting a U.S. star perform on the world stage both in racing and in breeding. · 155 days ago ·

darlene · OMG I am so glad to see this and that you "get" racing and breeding is global and that US needs to get with a global program too I am,of course,disappointed in no BC appearance by AK but his bloodlines will be much appreciated down under Both Australia and Japan have excellent breeding programs drawing in bloodlines from all over the world to diversify their bloodlines We would do well to copy this model Good news for us is American,Melbourne Cup winner and a true stayer,will be stan sding at Calumet this year Here's hoping he is booked solid with some great mares And when Animal Kingdom returns in 2014 the same for him · 155 days ago ·

AndyScoggin · The bottom line is about money. What I don't like is that AK will race only 3 more times, if all goes well, regardless of where those 3 starts take place. Obviously this must be a lucrative stud deal that allows Team Valor the opportunity to take a shot at getting those big overseas wins. Those wins would make him an even more pricey stallion. · 155 days ago ·

saratoga john · Great view Zipse! I'm a racing fan first. Team Valor owes nothing to fans like me. It owes allegience only to the welfare of Animal Kingdom in the next phase of his career. Mr. Irwin is a sportsman of the highest calibre. The fact that he's chose to run AK in the BC Mile against against unarguably the HOTY in Wise Dan, provided American racing fans with a hint of what's to come. Dubai then Australia? Why not? I will see him at Gulfstream, watch the Dubai race on the internet, then follow his breeding career (no matter where he stands) for the next 20+ years. He's one of a kind with a one of a kind owner whose racing industry acumen is beyond reproach. · 155 days ago ·

ILuvTurfRacing · Whoever wrote this article is spot on in their comments that Animal Kingdom going to Dubai and Royal-Ascot is very appealing, and they're also dead right in saying that America has fallen woefully short in having horses good enough to ship to the top international races for sometime now. Another reason I'm often saying I really hope the connections of Wise Dan and Point of Entry ship both horses to Dubai this year. Point of Entry would definitely be a major threat to run a big race against the top European horses, or from other country for that matter, in the Sheema Classic for a $5 million dollar purse. Wise Dan's connections would have the luxury of running him either on the tapeta surface at 10f in the $10 million diollar Dubai World Cup or at 9f on turf in the $5 million dollar Dubai Duty Free. A very nice option to have when it's likely your horse would be the favorite to win either race. I was just saying last weekend when the big G1 races were being run at Sha Tin how awesome it would've been to have seen Point of Entry in that Hong Kong Vase field against the likes of Red Cadeaux, Dunaden, Jaguar Mail, Dancing Rain, etc...and the Hong Kong Mile would've probably been an even bigger betting proposition than the BC Mile was if Wise Dan had been at Sha Tin lining up against 2 horses with the king of blazing turn of foot that Ambitious Dragon and Glorious Days have both shown at Sha Tin. · 154 days ago ·

matthewmartini · Just be thankful that he will be racing a few more times. We have all wanted to see the feats of which he could be capable when healthy and without interruptions in his training. 2013 will be that year. His success as a sire will be determined later, but I am thankful that we will see him on the biggest stages, where he belongs. What a great athlete. · 152 days ago ·

So, you want to win again?

This year So You Think returns yet again in a bid to go one better. With a new rockstar-esque mane, So You Think is a little older, a little wiser and even more experienced. Read More

ILuvTurfRacing · No disrespect at all intended to Rewilding(RIP). He was a terrific horse in his own right. But if Ryan Moore had been as patient aboard So You Think in this race last year as Joseph O'Brien was aboard him this year, So You Think is a back to back winner of the G1 Prince of Wales's Stakes, IMO. · 333 days ago ·

AOB reported by UK racing to have said: "It took me a year and a half to learn how to train him properly...I am so sorry to the Australian people that I’ve made a muck up for so long." · 333 days ago ·

ILuvTurfRacing · It was never a certainty that CDA was going to run in the G1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at the royal meeting anyway based on what his connections had said recently. They said CDA will run in the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at 12f in July for sure. But in the meantime, either the G1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at 10f or the G1 Grand Prix De Saint-Cloud at 12f is where CDA would run in the meantime. They've obviously opted for the 12f race at Saint-Cloud. Which, IMO, if they're looking to run in the King George next month is the better option. CDA was a very unlucky loser of the Grand Prix De Saint-Cloud a year ago when Sarafina nailed him by a nose right on the wire. · 334 days ago ·

ILuvTurfRacing · @yukichan, I agree. With CDA out of the POW, I think it definitely makes SYT the horse to beat now. Planteur didn't run particularly well in the race a year ago, and Reliable Man hasn't run particularly well in either of his 2012 starts. My own personal opinion is that the POW will end up being a battle between SYT and Carlton House, who was a very impressive winner of the G3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown last month on his seasonal reappearance. · 334 days ago ·

rossington · I think Ryan Moore committed for home just a tad too early on So You Think in the Prince of Wales, much like Tom Queally did on Frankel in the St James's Palace. But it's not an excuse for So You Think. Because Rewilding is an outstanding horse in his own right. He's definitely a legit G1 horse himself. He ran 3rd behind Workforce in last year's Epsom Derby. He won the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York against a tough field that included Joshua Tree. Who came out of that race to win 2 G1 races. Then he beat a very tough G1 Sheema Classic field in Dubai. Yes sir, a very legit G1 horse. My only concern for Rewilding was that I thought 10f might be a trip too short for him. Being that his biggest career successes to date had all come over 12f. But not a bit of it. A great race where 2 of the world's best on turf came to the fore!! · 703 days ago ·
