Sir Beaufort Stakes

What the Nation is saying about the Sir Beaufort Stakes...

My Pick 4 was shot before the races even started, as Race 2 was taken off of the turf, but I went for it anyways and lost immediately. I singled heavy favorite Drift King in the first leg, but after pressing Red Jag throughout, he took the lead around the far turn. Unfortunately for me, he got the l...Read More

  • Mike in SB · Opening day at Santa Anita has always been the start of the new racing year for me and this looks like a good card with a deep Malibu field and the best 3 year old filly My Miss Aurelia in the La Brea. But one thing Santa Anita has to do is get a safe and fair racing surface. Horses that came from off the pace were at a great disadvantage last year, I hope they have figured out a way to make it more fair to all horses , especially with the Breeders Cup there again in 2013. · 146 days ago ·

  • Capper · I love that Sassy Image race at Calder, it was Silky Sullivan-esque! I can't disagree with any of your selections, but that BC turf mile was pretty good as well. Sounds like you're all in on Mr. Commons & I hope he gives us lots of thrills this summer and a rooting chance against the Europeans in the BC. · 508 days ago ·

  • cugel the clever · It's hilarious to see how people, who should know better, jump on a horse's bandwagon and make unrealistic exptraplolations based on 1 race. Sidney's jockey said it best: “He’s a really good horse and he likes to run free and easy,”. Please note, GOOD horse, not "great" horse. Horses like Zenyatta and Goldikova have establised a career body of work which qualifies them as GREAT horses. They dazzle against weak competition and they step up their game to dazzle against strong competition. The problem with horses like Sidney's Candy and Quality Road is that they dazzle against weak competition and set track records; but when faced against truly formidable opponents, they fold up their tents and fade into the background. Sidney has consistently folded when faced with the best in the world (or even the USA). · 876 days ago ·
