  • Say Goodbye to Louisville

    Although I have covered my last Kentucky Derby and very well may have gazed  upon the Twin Spires for the final time, the Run for the Roses still encompasses a great deal of my life through the Derby Dozen, which is rapidly approaching. Gone are the 4:30 wake-up calls and prowling the Churchill backstretch at 5:15. Gone are the drives ...

  • November 7, 2015 - Foal Health

     Feeding Weanlings; Examining the growth rate of foals by Heather Smith Thomas  The goal of breeding racehorses is to raise and develop young athletes to reach their best athletic potential.

  • 2016: 
Year of Unification - by Eric Mitchell

    Identifying a dominant theme that resonated throughout the year is typically where the writers and editors of the Blood-Horse start when planning for our annual Year in Review issue. American Pharoah so completely monopolized the landscape in 2015 that our challenge was to be sure many of the other significant events of the year got recognition. ...

  • Video of the Year: Pharoah Travers Gallop

    There have been some exciting racing videos on YouTube this year, but none more exciting and revealing, and ultimately profound than the GoPro video of American Pharoah’s gallop the day before the Travers Stakes that also was posted on the NYRA website. A horse’s gallop is the video of the year, you ask? The answer in one person’s opinion is ...

  • Baffert Duo Looks Strong in Los Alamitos Futurity

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I) may offer more prestige and a higher purse, but one can make a case that the $350,000 Los Alamitos Futurity (gr. I) has a more impressive and significant list of winners. Held at Hollywood Park before being moved to Los Alamitos last year, the Futurity’s ...

  • SI Pharoah Snub Much Ado About Nothing

    I will make this column brief. There has been quite an uproar over Sport Illustrated’s editors selecting Serena Williams as Sportsman of the Year, ignoring the historic accomplishments and world-wide popularity of American Pharoah. While I totally disagree with their decision, there is no reason for the uproar or to get even mildly upset over ...

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_KeelermanI know I said this last year, but it continues to hold true: The $250,000 Remington Springboard Mile Stakes at Remington Park has been quietly attracting fields of higher and higher quality over the last few years.

  • Turf and Sport Digest Days

    I can still smell the mustiness of the old magazines, strewn haphazardly around the Midtown magazine shop on Eighth Avenue, just off 42nd Street in Manhattan. This unique store sold only old magazines, and the vast volume that came in on a daily basis prevented the owner from putting the magazines in any semblance of order.So, there they lay on ...
