    1 California Chrome Art Sherman Lucky Pulpit—Love the Chase, by Not For Love What the heck. I just wish I had the chutzpah to put him up here last week after stating back on Feb. 3 he was the most impressive 3-year-old I’d seen this year.

And on three other occasions, a horse won either the Derby and Belmont or Preakness ...

      Kentucky still has some hurdles to clear, but it looks as though the historical electronic racing game, called Instant Racing, is going to be the industry’s only weapon against the gaming-enhanced purses offered by surrounding racing states.Considering all the effort exerted in the pursuit of casinos, it would be ironic if Instant Racing ...

    1 Top Billing Shug McGaughey Curlin—Parade Queen, by A.P. Indy He had virtually no chance to win the Fountain of Youth on that speed-biased track and shortened stretch, but did everything you want to see in a Derby horse except pick up enough points to feel secure. And he was beaten by two very fast and talented horses. He can’t afford to ...
