  • 360

    I will have a few stories to post later on the Breeders' Cup, but until I have time to jog my memory and share those with you, here are some things to keep you busy... --- I had a chance to get to know Ernie Munick in the field.

  • Breeders' Cup Wrap - Final Thoughts

    All the comments made about Quality Road being a rogue or crazy are way off base. Dr. Larry Bramlage called him a juvenile delinquent following his meltdown prior to the Breeders Cup Classic.

  • Couple of Mares at Keeneland Day 3

    The fireworks of Keeneland's two-day Book One yesterday and today, interrupted by Fasig-Tipton's prestigious Selected sale held last evening, have been muted rather predictably by drops in gross, averages, and medians. I watched a few of my favorite mares walk through the ring to final bids of no more than double my annual salary (which is to ...

  • 11/11/09 Northeast: Better With Backer

    Over the years William Backer has discovered that things go better with racing. The retired songwriting guru, known during his professional career as the man who coined many famous slogans and jingles for Coca-Cola, including "Things go better with Coke," is now highly regarded for an entirely different reason-his successful ...
  • 11/11/09 West Coast: In The House

    Appaloosas brought Michael House to Thoroughbreds. The spotted horses carted his kids in show rings across the country and his silks on the California fair racing circuit.

    Despite the legitimate gripes by Easterners about the Breeders Cup World Championships being run two consecutive years in California, there is much to like about having the races at Santa Anita. It is a beautiful place to watch horses train, offers majestic scenery (when the haze allows you to see it), and the weather Nov. 6-7 was nearly as ...
