  • Hot Potatoes - By Evan Hammonds

    The results of the Keeneland September yearling sale through Book 2 (Sunday, Sept. 16) were nothing short of spectacular. A perfect storm of a robust global economy, new tax laws that accelerate depreciation, and a reduced foal crop has helped create demand and has pushed the market to its highest figures since the Great Recession hit a decade ...

  • Invasor Flourishing Back Home in Uruguay

    When I visited Haras Cuatro Piedras in Uruguay in 2008, I couldn’t have imagined the farm would one day be home to Smarty Jones for several years and then the country’s greatest equine hero, Hall of Famer Invasor, who at the time was residing at Shadwell Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. Invasor never developed into a top stallion in the United ...

  • BC Classic: To Prep or Not to Prep

    We have witnessed numerous changes in recent years in how horses are prepared for major races. Three-year-olds race so infrequently now, we hardly know anything about them when they get to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby, many coming off four-, five-, and six-week layoffs or more and having made only two starts at 3. Some go into the ...

  • Let's Bet On It - By Evan Hammonds

    If we learned anything from BloodHorse and Breeders’ Cup’s Sports Wagering and Impact on Horse Racing Symposium Sept. 6, it’s that, as an industry, we’ve still got a lot to learn. The three-hour program, graciously hosted by Keeneland, brought together three expert panels that gave us legislative background, some economic updates, and what the ...

  • The Tuesday That Changed the World

    Not only is today the 17th anniversary of 9/11, it falls on the same day of the week; that infamous Tuesday. Although I have written about that catastrophic day’s effect on racing, it is something that needs to be addressed from time to time for those who weren’t around and those who need to be reminded of those two gut-wrenching months for the ...

  • East vs. West Showdown Looming in BC Classic

    There are few things more exciting in horse racing than rivalries and epic showdowns to decide championships. But when these rivalries or showdowns have an East vs. West storyline, it makes it all the more intriguing. Of the few that we have had over the years, nothing tops the intensity of the Sunday Silence Silence vs. Easy Goer rivalry and ...

  • Will Oscar Nominated Prevail Again in the Kentucky Turf Cup?

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman I have long been a fan of Kentucky Downs, the unique European-style racecourse in Kentucky that is quite unlike any other racetrack in North America. Because the course is so different—featuring both left- and right-handed turns, plus undulating ground and a long homestretch—it's ...

  • Promotional Feature: Breaking & Training - Making Successful Runners

    ALL ONE NEEDS TO DO IS LISTEN to the pride in the voice of the people who worked with Triple Crown winner Justify when he was a yearling to understand the importance of the breaking and early training process in the success of the Thoroughbred runner. In a matter of a couple of months, Justify evolved from a sales yearling who needed time to grow ...
