With a little more than five weeks to go until the Derby and about 10 prep races remaining, it's not a bad idea to take a quick look at the graded earnings list.

We pore over data that show some standard information — number of foals, runners, and winners, as you’ll see in a few leaders lists in this ...

I) during Keeneland's opening weekend April 3. I hope to give you all some perspective from the backside of the track (Keeneland and Churchill Downs), and ...

The triumphant progress was interrupted when, taken further off the ...
