More Than Horses - By Lenny Shulman

Bobby Frankel was not for everybody. I was crazy about him.

A Dig At Dirt - By Mark Popham

Santa Anita, with its Pro-Ride synthetic surface, may have evened things up between the Europeans and North Americans. But reverting to dirt in 2010 at Churchill Downs and the likelihood of the same at Belmont Park in 2011 is a distinct turn-off.

Still Got Game - By Richard Zwirn

The two best anti-aging remedies I've been fortunate enough to find are running and breeding Thoroughbreds on our small upstate New York farm.

Queen For A Day - By Mary-Ellen Donovan

The unselfish, hard-working human and equine stars of the Sport of Kings still treat fans like kings.

Redemption - By Joe Hickey

Looking back at Windfields Farm's 1982 Keeneland July Sale consignment which included Devil's Bag, Secreto, and a small, backward, and timid filly that needed a good friend and lots of time.

Let's Move Forward - By Graeme Beaton

I was training a weanling filly the other day and was struck by how she had shaped herself into a metaphor for racing. She will go sideways and backward, but, stubbornly to the point of frustration, never forward.

Death of a Champion - By Jessica Yeargin

A few months ago the Thoroughbred world lost a champion. Rare Menace was euthanized due to infirmities of old age. He raced six times at ages 2 and 3 at Suffolk Downs and Meadowlands, in six-furlong maiden-claiming races, never finishing better than eighth.

Storm Song - By Linda Dougherty

Aug. 4 started out innocently enough, as my two daughters and I planned to drive to Churchill Downs to see the Kentucky Derby Museum. It turned out to be an adventure that will no doubt be vividly remembered by all three of us for years to come.

Common Ground - By Jay Hickey

The scope of the problem of unwanted horses is hotly debated. Some declare there are no unwanted horses. Others retort the problem is growing dramatically.

Efficiency Isn't Everything - By Roberta Smodin

I would argue that in any business dealing with the care of live animals, efficiency is not the paramount concern.

Safety Net - By Helen Alexander

Formed in 1943, The Jockey Club Foundation is a charitable trust that provides financial relief and assistance to needy members of the Thoroughbred industry and their families.

Good Sense - By Martin Stiles

Many times I have asked myself whether the goal of breeders shouldn't be to produce horses with good conformation, good speed, and good sense.

Mountain High, River Deep - By Nick Ben-Meir

In 48 hours, Nick Ben-Meir experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows with Poker Handicap (gr. IIIT) winner Sailor's Cap.

Get in the 'Zone' - By Bobby Jones

In almost every publication pertaining to our industry, the number-one concern is what to do with the dying fan base at our racetracks. My suggestion is not a new one, just another look at the problem. It certainly won't fix all of the internal problems, but it might help the industry have a better chance at survival.

In Zen - by Bruce Greene

The Thoroughbred community, like the country, is enduring a string of bad years. I often wonder what it will take for our sport to survive.
