  • May 12, 2018 - Environment and Hoof Health-Practical Hoof Care

    Environment and Hoof Health-Practical Hoof Care by Heather Smith Thomas The environment a horse lives and works in (wet or dry condition and the types of footing) makes a big difference in whether feet stay healthy, according to Dr. Julie Bullock—a veterinarian/podiatrist in Virginia. “Having been in Florida for part of the winter and vetting ...

  • Counting Down to the Crown - By Evan Hammonds

    As Justify prepares at Churchill Downs for a run at the Triple Crown in the June 9 Belmont Stakes (G1), one question turns to who will face off against the son of Scat Daddy in the Big Apple? Post positions won’t be drawn until June 5 at a specialty event at Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets. Who’s in? We’re not sure…but we do know who ...

  • WinStar Going for Third Belmont Win Since 2010

    The biggest history on the line for Justify in the June 9 Belmont Stakes (G1) will be the opportunity to become the 13th Triple Crown winner, but Kenny Troutt's WinStar Farm is also in position for landmark achievements. Should Justify win the Belmont, WinStar will become the first owner of the 21st century to have three Belmont winners. Also, ...

  • Cheers, Tears, and Silence at the Belmont Stakes

    There is something exciting about a horse attempting to sweep the Triple Crown, but when that horse is undefeated, as Justify is, it adds a special element to what is already an historic event. The Belmont Stakes has seen four  undefeated horses attempt to sweep the Triple Crown, with Seattle Slew the only one who succeeded. The ...

  • Will Dr. Dorr Win Again in Gold Cup at Santa Anita?

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman With a couple of weeks remaining before Justify bids for history in the Belmont Stakes, we have some time this week to turn our attention away from the three-year-olds—which have dominated the racing action over the last six months or so—and focus on the older horses set to compete ...

  • Different Days - By Evan Hammonds

    In the span of two weeks, Justify, the sizable son of Scat Daddy, thrilled us twice with his speed and resiliency, most recently by winning the Preakness Stakes (G1) by a half-length over the more seasoned Bravazo, Tenfold, and last year’s champion 2-year-old male and Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) runner-up Good Magic. Good ...

  • Preakness Wrap Up: And Away We Go...Again.

    In some ways it seemed appropriate that all we saw of Justify in the stretch of the Preakness Stakes was a ghostly shroud, with his white silks and white face, emerging from the murk that had settled on Pimlico Race Course. This colt has been shrouded in mystery since he burst on the scene in mid-February as if conjured up by some magical ...

  • Keeler Johnson’s Preakness Stakes 143 Selections

    By J. Keeler Johnson (''Keelerman'') Twitter: @J_Keelerman If you thought the track for the Kentucky Derby was wet, just wait until you see what's in store for Saturday's 143rd Preakness Stakes (gr. I) at Pimlico! The second leg of the Triple Crown is expected to be contested over a very sloppy or muddy track. In fact, Pimlico has already ...

  • Strategy Could Play a Big Part in the Preakness

    Slop or no slop, the Preakness Stakes looks pretty cut-and-dried on paper, or perhaps it should be cut-and-wet. The likely sloppy track will be nothing new to Justify and Good Magic, the two standout horses who dominate the morning line odds, with Justify being made an overwhelming 1-2 favorite. The three keys to the running of the race is ...

  • Hi Ho Pimlico - By Evan Hammonds

    The color of the official Maryland Jockey Club photograph has faded some, but the memories are as bright as the day we bounded into the winner’s circle at Pimlico Race Course on Preakness Stakes (G1) Day 30 years ago. It wasn’t for the big race on the card, but the day’s first race, a six-furlong event for $30,000 claiming types. We made enough on ...
