  • 03/21/09 Southwest Regional: Early to Rise

    There once was a Louisiana breeder who purchased broodmares in the $7,500-$10,000 range. But last November he bought a mare for $65,000, and in January he spent $85,000 for another. Tom Early smiles when telling that story. And he should. That a breeder in the Bayou State would upgrade his stock so dramatically is a direct reflection of the ...

  • 03/07/09 Northeast Regional: Under Plank

    The temptation—as the red-roofed foaling and broodmare barns have gone up, the white-board fencing began stretching across the perimeter, and a string of horses settled in—is to dwell on the glory days of Sagamore Farm where Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt Jr. bred generations of champions. Its brightest star was Native Dancer, winner of 21 of 22 races. ...

  • Lane's End Stakes Analysis

    It's sort of nice to have a quiet weekend of racing after the four big Kentucky Derby preps a week ago, and the Florida Derby on the horizon.

  • Inglis Easter Sale Catalogue is My New Favourite

    Last month I harped about Thoroughbred sales companies' failure to update auction catalogs for the 21st century. Well, it's obvious that one auction house was already hard at work bringing some technological modernization to its catalogs.  (Or, in this case, ''catalogues.''  G'day, mate, and all.)

  • The Giant's Fall

    Thoroughbred racing coverage takes another hit. As sport giant ESPN has decided to cut its coverage of the Kentucky Oaks (gr.I) on Friday May 1, with its primary three networks, and opted for Bravo.I am an optimist, and Churchill placed a positive spin on ESPN's decision.

  • It's Foaling Time

    When possible, I plan for foals to be born in mid-March.  It's still fairly early in the season so they'll be good-sized yearlings, but by the middle of March we're usually out of the worst that Winter throws our way here in central Kentucky.  Until two years ago, I never gave too much thought to foaling complications.  I'd read ...
