  • 1/9/10 Southwest: Triple Threat

    The travel arrangements were made. The horse was ready to go. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate. Snow in Louisiana? So Richard Owens ended up watching the $750,000 Boyd Gaming’s Delta Jackpot Stakes (gr. III) from the warm confines of his Arizona home the evening of Dec. 4.

  • Perfect Nicking: When a Sire and Broodmare Sire Go Perfect

    One of the key parts of the TrueNicks calculation is that it does not calculate a nick based on stakes winners being produced out of the same mare.
