  • August 3, 2019 - Numbers Game: Gastric Uclers

    Numbers Game —Gastric Ulcers by Amanda Duckworth GASTRIC ULCERS AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE HORSES, unfortunately, seem to go hand-in-hand.

  • 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.

  • Business As Usual Must End - By Lenny Shulman

    We are happy to leave it to the lawyers and courts to determine whether Santa Anita, Del Mar, and other jurisdictions acted within their legal means by pulling trainer Jerry Hollendorfer’s license after six of his horses suffered catastrophic breakdowns this season in California. But the lesson at hand is far bigger than the fate of one man: ...

  • Why I'm Endorsing Shancelot at Saratoga

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman Heading into this week, my tentative plan was to analyze the $600,000 Jim Dandy Stakes (gr. II) at Saratoga for today's column. But the race came up short on entries, and after handicapping the half-dozen runners, I landed on the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) runner-up Tacitus as my top ...

  • 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? For racing's aristocracy, the tycoons of business and pillars of society who ruled the Sport of Kings back in the early to mid-1900s, it was all ...

  • Is Maximum Security Vulnerable in the Haskell?

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman Saturday, July 20th will be a busy day of racing across North America, with plenty of action to keep an eye on at Saratoga and Del Mar.

  • Hero Not Forgotten - By Evan Hammonds

    The lamp of the Saratoga racing season had barely been lit when news came that Sea Hero, Paul Mellon’s homebred hero, had died in Turkey at the age of 29. Sea Hero’s score in the 1993 Travers Stakes (G1) is synonymous with the Spa as a statue of the horse is the centerpiece of the paddock. Not the most consistent horse—he only won six times in 24 ...
