    The Keeneland January horses of all ages auction is not a sale regarded as a trend-setter or a barometer of the commercial marketplace. Traditionally, it is an auction of mostly odds and ends, and most people don't point horses specifically for it. They sell there because they need the money or a horse wasn't ready for another auction. The catalog ...

    In part two of Stopping the Clock, here are a few works turned in this week by some of the early Kentucky Derby contenders.

  • The Legendary Football Team That Horse Racing Built - Part II

    By Robert Marks, Theyre in The Gate A outstanding post by Valerie at Foolish Pleasure on Steelers founder Art Rooney and his 2 day killing in 1936 at 2 New York Race Tracks has inspired me to write about my favorite football team and last year's Super Bowl Champs the New York Giants.

  • READER Q&A - Should I Breed My Mare?

    Reader's question: My mare Pebbles Delight has an A++ wih Corinthian.  She has been accepted to his book for 2009.  However, since she doesn't have a lot of black type up front, I probably won't make any profit on the resulting foal.  What are your thoughts on this mating? I love the mating, but my pocketbook needs to rule rather ...

  • Walking Pedigrees

    If the higher-ups at The Blood-Horse ask, I'm working hard during my trip to the U.K.  Hardly sleeping, what with all the work.  Yes, sir -- it's been nothing but work, work, work since I arrived.

  • Poll - Which Trainer Would You Like to See Win Their First Kentucky Derby?

    With more than three months still to go until the Kentucky Derby, there is still plenty to be decided. But part of the fun of the Derby is rooting for our favorite horses and hoping they not only make the big race, but win it all. My favorite horses are often determined by their connections, specifically the trainers since they are often the most ...

  • The Legendary Football Team That Horse Racing Built

    By Valerie Grash, FoolishPleasure On February 1, the Pittsburgh Steelers will attempt to become the first professional football team to win 6 Super Bowl titles-the ''Six-Pack'' as folks are calling it here in Western Pennsylvania (personally, I think ''One for the Thumb'' had a much better ring to it). Since the Golden Era of the ...
