  • Two Stakes Plays for Whitney Day

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman Another Saturday at Saratoga brings another stakes-packed card led by the Whitney Stakes (gr. I) and the Test Stakes (gr.

  • Outta Site - By Evan Hammonds

    Fascinated by the coverage of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic trip to the moon, we wondered how The Blood-Horse chronicled that voyage back in July 1969. Neil Armstrong’s walk on the lunar surface late in the evening of July 20 didn’t get the column inches in print it did in general publications. After all, the Keeneland July yearling ...

  • Maximum Overdrive

    King Lear, MacBeth, Henry IV, Maximum Security. The more Maximum Security races the more Shakespearean his career becomes. He now has surpassed Max's Hot Dogs as the most popular Max on the Jersey shore. But, boy, would Shakespeare have loved to write about this horse's adventures. How about The Tempest 2?

  • Goodbye, Marylou

    How many Thoroughbred owners would sell their soul to win a classic race; to reach the pinnacle of the sport; to attain immortality; to see the value of their horse soar into the tens of millions?
