After such good, but heavy conversation in my recent posts, I thought it would be fun to take a look at a lighter side of race horses. This includes a new angle for betting I have stumbled upon for the Belmont and my prediction of who could win. While touring the awesome stallions at Lane's End Farm...

Competition Curve Sagging... It seems that the majority of common, everyday race fans are ready to see another Triple Crown. People want to feel the excitement and thrill of a sport unmatched in displaying talent and skill. Some people don't like Big Brown's trainer, owners, or the horses he is competing...

Big Brown just blew away the competition once again and it was amazing to watch. Viewing Big Brown's race at the 134 Kentucky Derby was just as impressive as this win, when he pulled away in the 133 Preakness. With two wins, I have to root him on for a triple crown win, though there are several horses...

I will no longer be following Perfect Soul or his first crop. This information will become outdated and will not be updated. I will leave this page up for those of you who have commented as I value your thoughts. As many of you have read, I am following the first crop of 2-Year-Olds by Perfect Soul....

A fun day full of excitement and a whole lot of turf races. I love a good turf race and like to see "turf" sires run well on dirt. Specifically Giant Gizmo. I called that horse with a gut feeling, and yep, he sure showed his skills. Of course he is a Giant's Causeway, as faithful readers know Giant's...

I made the trip to Louisville safely and awoke at 4:30am to prep my self for the track with my partners in media crime. The track was very busy, dare I say swamped today. Everyone seemed to be in high hopes and in good terms. Trainers, horses, grounds personnel, and even the track shuttle driver told...

My first experience with advising a friend on how to bet held glory and shame all in one. I had been working here at Blood-Horse for several months when the Keeneland 2007 fall meet started. I had been laying out a lot of stories for the daily PDF/News and knew who was hot and who was not. My friend...

I am heading to the Kentucky Derby. This will not be my first trip to Churchill downs since I saw The Police world tour at the track, but it will be my first trip to the Derby, and I will be running around...a lot. The goal is to give you a recap of my experiences each evening on my blog. Whether that...

The first two weeks are still a blur. I remember having to repeat and learn all of these new terms being thrown my way. What is the difference between a yearling and a weanling? How in the world do you have the same dad and not be related? Why do people name horses after panties? I don't know, but hey...
