  • Brother, Can You Spare Pimlico? - By Evan Hammonds

    Americans held off the British Navy at Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor during the War of 1812. So taken by the skirmish was Francis Scott Key that he took pen to paper and came up with The Star-Spangled Banner. Straddling the Mason-Dixon line, downtown Baltimore was the site of the first fatalities of the Civil War during the Baltimore Riots ...

  • Images From the Heart

    To follow up on my last column about 9-year-old Eva Lytle and her love for War of Will, there are several ways of instilling the love of horses in children at an early age. Of course, the most obvious is to get them a horse. Bringing them to the racetrack and attending some of the morning programs is another, but that is a longer process. And ...

  • Galopin...New Research, and a possible answer to an old question....

    Despite the controversies and horse racing continually working to reinvent itself with modern technology, the sports future will remain bright as long as the Thoroughbred can captivate us like no other animal and inspire deep passion in people starting at a young age. It is the centuries-old love of the horse that will guarantee its ...

  • Preakness Pick: War of Will Gets Another Chance

    In some ways, the debate over the Kentucky stewards' decision to disqualify Maximum Security from victory in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) now falls into the laps of horseplayers across the country.

  • Keeler Johnson’s Preakness 144 Selections

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman From a sporting perspective, Saturday's $1.5 million Preakness Stakes (gr. I) at Pimlico isn't particularly exciting. The first four horses to cross the finish line in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) are all skipping the Preakness, so for the first time since 1996, there won't be a Triple ...

  • Looking For Signals in Wide-Open Preakness

    This years Preakness obviously is not going to be an historical gem, at least on paper, considering it not only lacks the Kentucky Derby winner, for the time ever it lacks two Kentucky Derby winners the one who had it initially and the one who snatched it away from him. And to go one better, of the first four horses who crossed the finish ...

  • Spin Cities - By Evan Hammonds

    While the heads in the editorial offices of BloodHorse are collectively continuing to spin from the results of the May 4 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1), there are all sorts of other spin out there.

  • Let's Not Forget Country House

    Someday, hopefully in the not too distant future, all the anger, pain, frustration, and feuding that resulted from the 2019 Kentucky Derby will at least dissipate to the point where we can all move on. For some, like Gary and Mary West, Jason Servis, Luis Saez and all those who saw their scorching mutuel tickets reduced to ashes right before ...
