By Becky Johnston  How many times do you say ''jock gave my horse a bad ride''?  That's a patent excuse when you don't pick the winner.  I know of what I speak because I am guilty of it.  Have you ever thought about the greatest rides you've ever seen?   You probably see them most often at tracks near you that ...

By Fran Jurga, Fran Jurga's Hoof Blog This photo just showed up in my email a while ago. I thought it was quite beautiful...and even moreso when I realized ''the rest of the story''.

Michael Phelps has potentially lost millions for his recent appearance with that piece of equipment that rhymes with ''wrong''. The NFL is a daily police blotter, this ...

You can't swing a cat without hitting a relative of Unbridled in this year's Derby picture, but I am not advocating you try either swinging a cat or avoiding this group of three-year-olds.  There will be at least a handful of Unbridled descendants that will have a great chance to follow in his footsteps and win Kentucky Derby 135.

Courtesy of Ryan Patterson, Graded Stakes blog The First Saturday in May is quickly approaching. I can't wait for the day to come, and I hope that I am able to handicap the winner!
