  • Nourishing the equine athletic mind

    In an era of better training through chemistry, there are still a few trainers who do it right. That was the thought I had after studying the two-year-old races run during the final week of the Saratoga meeting with Kerry Thomas of the Thomas Herding Technique. Having spent the last two days watching hours of pan and ...

  • High 5-year-olds, Famous Name, A.P. Indy, Mr. Greeley, and a Familiar Nick in India

    Concerning the prime cuts of this weekend’s international group racing, let’s paraphrase a bit from The Bard: Age cannot wither nor custom stale their infinite variety. Of the three group I races for older horses in Ireland and Great Britain, all were won by horses who may be considered well past their prime in some racing jurisdictions (won’t say ...

  • Countdown to the Cup: The Game's Afoot

    William Hill is dangling a carrot out there and is just daring American punters to go for it. And if you don’t like carrots, just think of Game On Dude’s 7-1 odds for the Breeders’ Cup Classic as chocolate cake or a slice of pizza.

  • Gomez back in Chicago for Futurity

    Although I've lived in Lexington for seven years now, I still regularly handicap the races back in sweet home Chicago. In fact, Arlington has been my best track this summer from a wagering standpoint (surprisingly followed by Del Mar). Going over Saturday's Arlington card, which features the Arlington-Washington Futurity (G3) and the ...

  • Countdown to the Cup: Horse of the Year Follies

    So, how crazy is this year’s Horse of the Year picture? It’s obvious no one is stepping up to claim the title that is totally up for grabs and no doubt won’t be decided until the free for all that will be the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Not only is the confusion regarding Horse of the Year reflected in the voting on the National Thoroughbred Racing ...
