By Teresa Genaro of Brooklyn BackstretchI'm pretty sure that my local card store has already put out their Christmas cards, and while overall I am about as near to thinking about Christmas as I am to thinking about retirement (and that would be not nearly near enough), a recent e-mail from the Belmont Child Care Association with news about ...

by Barry Roos When Balanced Attack won the feature at Laurel yesterday, it marked the 50th win for our partnership G-Biscuit Stable LLC. For the year we have won 18 races in 52 starts (35%) and have been in the money 69%.

I'm not going to speculate whether we'll see more of Curlin (pedigree) on the track this year or next -- it would be fantastic for horse racing as a sport, but probably more than we can expect.  Stonestreet Stables' Jess Jackson has already proven to be a true sportsman by bringing Curlin back as a 4-year-old and putting him in ...

Despite not being a ...

Regardless of where you stand on any issue or how you feel about the outcome of the election, there's something positive we all can take away from the ...

Being in the industry for a year and a half now, there is one thing I know. We need to engage younger people and bring in more fans to this wonderful sport. Though I feel the Breeders' Cup fell short in their advertising efforts for such a huge event, the coverage was great. The spike in national, and international media coverage and web traffic ...

Robert and Blythe Clay's Three Chimneys Farm found the perfect balance Nov. 3 when they introduced Big Brown to breeders. In these troubled economic times, the event was classy without seeming extravagant. Attendees got to take home a ''Re-usable Brown Bag'' tote, and it was filled with lunch and practical Big Browned-themed items: a baseball cap, ...
