  • Let's Bet On It - By Evan Hammonds

    If we learned anything from BloodHorse and Breeders’ Cup’s Sports Wagering and Impact on Horse Racing Symposium Sept. 6, it’s that, as an industry, we’ve still got a lot to learn. The three-hour program, graciously hosted by Keeneland, brought together three expert panels that gave us legislative background, some economic updates, and what the ...

  • East vs. West Showdown Looming in BC Classic

    There are few things more exciting in horse racing than rivalries and epic showdowns to decide championships. But when these rivalries or showdowns have an East vs. West storyline, it makes it all the more intriguing. Of the few that we have had over the years, nothing tops the intensity of the Sunday Silence Silence vs. Easy Goer rivalry and ...

  • Promotional Feature: Breaking & Training - Making Successful Runners

  • Marathon Man - By Evan Hammonds

    Hall of Fame rider Gary Stevens guided 2-year-old King of Speed up the hedge to win the Sept. 2 Del Mar Juvenile Turf Stakes. Similar scenes had been played out before…99 times, as a matter of fact, as the veteran rider hit the century mark in stakes wins at the track where the “turf meets the surf.” That’s no small feat, considering the brevity ...

  • AD REPS - By Evan Hammonds

    While Catholic Boy was the star of the day Aug. 25 at Saratoga Race Course with his four-length score in the Runhappy Travers Stakes (G1), another presence at the track cut a pretty wide swath: James McIngvale. The Texan entrepreneur who has built his Gallery Furniture stores in the Houston area into national prominence, McIngvale has poured ...

  • Getting Intimate - By Evan Hammonds

    Major league sports—and the way we experience them—have changed dramatically since the inception of the Breeders’ Cup in 1984. Larger stadiums have given way to smaller venues. What was once a game is now a multimedia spectacle with music, short-burst entertainment, and advertising filling the void between quarters, innings, matches, and time ...

  • When Forego Owned the Woodward

    No major stakes has undergone more changes than the Woodward Stakes, once regarded as the maker of champions, as it often was in the Woodward Stakes that horses clinched Horse of the Year honors. Inaugurated in 1954, it has been run at three racetracks – Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga, the last its home since 2006. It has been run as a ...

  • Good As It Gets - By Evan Hammonds

    Sometimes racing is a game of repetition. This past weekend at Saratoga Race Course, a pair of New York-breds won the two graded stakes on Aug. 11—much as they had done the previous weekend when Diversify and Mind Your Biscuits ran 1-2 Aug. 4 in the grade 1 Whitney Stakes and Sandy’z Slew took the following day’s Troy Stakes (G3T). This time ...

  • The Ol' 1-2 - By Evan Hammonds

    Now that Saratoga is settling into its more traditional “August Place to Be” mode, we’re finding it is pretty fertile hunting ground for New York-breds. The one-two finish in the Aug. 4 Whitney Stakes (G1) by Empire State-breds Diversify and Mind Your Biscuits is testament to that. The program got another lift the following day when state-bred ...
