  • ruffian751 · @tim - I'm sorry, but if we don't put the copyright notice, those images will get screen-grabbed and used all over the place. It is unfortunate we have to do it, especially for the fans. But, there are actually website that make money, even farms, who have lifted images they had more than enough money to pay for. Again, I wish the situation were otherwise. Hope you still enjoy the images. · 58 days ago ·

 Daddy Nose Best beats local horse Isn't He Clever in the Sunland Derby. 
Kentucky Derby 2012 hopeful Castaway, a visually impressive winner of the slower division of the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park on Feb 20, takes on seven rivals in Sunday’s Grade 3, $800,000 Sunland Derby (race 12) at Sunland Park.Read More
Though Bob Baffert might feel like the Sunland Derby is a bit like an island he can't conquer. He's been well-beaten his last two trips to Sunland for the track's richest race. He tries again with a horse who may well be one of his top contenders for the May 5 Kentucky Derby. Read More

  • cugel the clever · For better or worse, there is always a bias towards those horses which can win major stakes at a route. This will eliminate Caleb's Posse. AK, if he'd campaigned the whole season, probaly would have been the 3yo champ. But there's no way he should be given the Eclipse given his short campaign and the quality of his major rivals for the award. · 187 days ago ·

Hey,Hey Zatt! Breen came close to having both days in the sun! A first and a third that's a pretty good weekendWhat ya' say?
OOPs its Zipse not Zatt .Sorry !
This weekend's Derby prep races were rather uninspiring to say the least. I haven't been one to criticize 3-year old crops in the past, but jeez this group just doesn't seem to step up when the spotlight's on.
