This industry will continue doing the same things until there are only a handful of tracks left. Then they will blame PETA.

I see in the Breeders Cup press release, that for the "Win and You're In" races later this year, the races at Keeneland will be run on all-weather. What am I missing????

I feel that the reason for the abandonment of all weather is not for the welfare of the horses, nor the increased field sizes, nor the interests of the betting public. It's fueled by the large Kentucky breeding industry which collectively thinks that running their horses on dirt will magically attract the European buyers who run their horses on grass.

Fell in love with him when I first saw him at Sunland Park and watched anxiously as he won the Derby. He was no fluke and came mighty close to catching Rachel Alexandra.

What is real reason Keeneland is abandoning poly track?

I suspect it boils down to Keenelands board of trustees who have a huge vested interest in DIRT stallions. If Breeders Cup were to be run at Keeneland on poly the Europeans would dominate as they did at Santa Anita and the American stallions with the exception of Kittens Joy, could be shut out. Keenelands Graded races favor turf/poly stallions. Consider the economic impact of these races and BC races have on stallions and mares and their exponential benefit to pedigrees--100's of millions--and you will have your answer as to why Keeneland would abandon the safest racing surface in America.

Safety of the horses should always come first. If a Polytrack surface helps prevent more catastrophic breakdowns then why it is being eliminated? I find this news very disheartening.

I was looking forward to running there on the all weather. Too bad.

Certainly enjoyed the poly. However keeneland could pave the track with blacktop and I would still go. Thank you again to everyone at the track that makes me come back meet after meet.

Nice to see a feature on Mine that Bird. I'm sad to say that my trainer had the chance to buy him at the auction but chose to buy his half brother instead for twice the money. I named him Ben's Magic and he was a wonderful horse, but had breathing issues and a foot problem. I took him away from the track and after a year of looking, found him a beautiful home close the Edmonton, Alberta.He is a gentle horse and the owners 4 year old daughter rides him most days. They say he walks like a show horse and has a beautiful chestnut color.

re: Kentucky Derby Stars Come Out at Keeneland

My Kentucky Derby bet.

As usual, I will treat the Kentucky Derby the same way I treat any two-turn race on an oval-shaped track.

First, I will eliminate every horse drawn higher than post position 10.

Then I will decide whether the horses drawn 1-9 are good enough.

If they are not, I won’t bet.

If it rains, I won’t bet.

For betting purposes, it is just another race, just like the 2000 guineas to be run earlier that day.

Hope it will come to Madison, CT. I'm working on it as I can't wait to see it!

I saw MTB at the KD Horse Museum last Summer. To be able to see, touch and spend time with a KD winner is a thrill of a lifetime. And this particular Pretty Boy is so special. He put on a show I'll never forget. He took a running fit with his mane and tail flying in the air...so beautiful. Then he played with all his huge toys...throwing balls into the air...and then he did this little dance. He was so adorable. I was able to pet his pretty head and silky nose. What a thrill!!!

Live in Tn currently. Hopefully the movie will be in your city.

Where and when can I see the movie? I love Mine That Bird! I'm in Virginia,not Kentucky. Will the movie be released nationwide?

A shame and disgrace many gave MTB no respect and worse after his run. Always defended him. Some that's slammed him know nothing about racing in general. Saw the movie last nite,enjoyed it.

A rewarding way to honor women who have passion for the sport,its history and its great stories. Horses level the playing field between men and women and it takes guts to get out there and ride with all the unknowns that can occur from the gallop out in the morning to the post-parade and the finish line.

It's great that all these accomplished women could gather in one place to celebrate the history and future of racing.

I'm a barrel racer and would love to see if Mine That Bird would make a barrel horse. The size he is I think he would be nice. I can't wait to see the movie and wise all his connection luck in the future.

for what it's worth I attended a racehorse seminar hosted by jack knowlton a few years ago. he said if you purchase a horse for investment, a horse selling for $150,000.00 or more, you can be almost guaranteed the horse will be free of any physical defects. however the heart(willingness to run) of a horse is never guaranteed. woody stevens once told me anytime an owner pays 8x the stud price or over for a horse, it's believed to be a special animal. lets start analyzing our derby starters.

I'm bummed that The Prince is injured and out of THE DERBY. He was not my pick, but I hate to see any good horse get hurt. The worst was when Scat Daddy was stepped on and stopped badly. He was never the same... - RAMMER

Loved it! Was blown away that it was a packed house in my neck of the woods (Memphis, TN suburb), and everyone clapped at the end! The only thing I wish they had done was buy more of the post-race footage so we could watch that overhead replay a couple more times, and in slow-mo with the commentary by Gary Stevens and Laffit Pincay. Poor Tom Durkin. In an interview, he was asked if there was a race he wishes he could do over, and he said it was the 2009 Derby! There is another version of the race out there by the regular local race caller.
