  • Oh, Baby, It's a Wild World

    For all his merits as a sire – and he crossed successfully over as wide a range of broodmare sires as you could ask for – Wild Again was generally a disappointment as a sire of sires (although Wild Rush did start to shine once he had left these shores for Japan).

  • The King and I

    While thankfully not (not yet, at least) being quite as folically challenged as Yul Brynner, we do have a connection with a King who has played a staring role in the orient. Having recommended the mating for King Kamehameha, whose dam was sold to Japan carrying that horse, we we’re delighted when he captured the Japan Derby and subsequently earned ...

III) at the weekend, is set to maintain momentum in the ...

  • Horse to Be - Cool Blue Red Hot

    Derby Horse: Cool Blue Red HotWatch Cool Blue Red Hot's race against Soldat.Review the race results here. Finding the horses that are late bloomers with little hype around them so far, and whom will perform in the Derby, is a lot of fun for me to figure out.

  • Do Kentucky and Louisiana Matter Anymore?

    In 1996, Grindstone won the Louisiana Derby (which at the time was a grade III and run in mid-March), prepped for the Kentucky Derby in the Arkansas Derby, and went on to capture the roses by a nose. Three years later in 1999, Charismatic, who had run in a $62,500 claimer at Santa Anita in February, won the Lexington Stakes at Keeneland before ...
