  • Derby Dreamin'

    Tragically, Horse of the Year Saint Liam died after serving only a year at stud. The offspring of this late-developer where not expected to be precocious, but with his first crop two-year-olds of 2009 he has at least one horse who might extend his legacy. This is Buddy’s Saint, who has stamped himself as a leading contender for the Kentucky ...

  • Farewell to the Iron Lady

    This may be a contrived recreation of Oak Tree at Santa Anita’s decision to rename the Lady’s Secret Stakes the Zenyatta Stakes, but the immediacy of it and its knee-jerk nature suggest it could be a possible scenario. Whether it has any substance or not, it is an insult to Lady’s Secret and a lack of respect for her placing among the all-time ...

He's an excellent phenotype for the mare, so I'm very curious about the nick. Thank you in advance and keep up the good work. I thoroughly enjoy having ...
