BC Pre-Entries too long to read? Then read here...

Pre-entries and my super quick take on the Breeders' Cup for those with a low attention span. Race: Filly and Mare Sprint: My Picks: Indian Blessing, Jazzy, Miraculous Miss, Dearest Trickski, and Intangaroo. My Thoughts: Intangaroo is actually being offered at the Fasig-Tipton November sale as hip 159...

NTRA and BC Jedi Games

I want to talk about National Thoroughbred Racing Association's summer of racing and how they have done PR wise. Let's get down to it. The NTRA is setting out to try and rejuvinate the seemingly screeching slowdown the Thoroughbred industry is headed toward. What is my verdict? I think its effort is...

Battling for Breeders' Cup Bragging Rights

Like that alliteration? Anyway, you need to go participate in our Bracket Battles. Why? Because I said so, just kidding, but Bracket Battles has some really interesting match ups and challenges that make you think about the performances of the top of the top, the cream of the crop in racing.

Stephen Foster's Lawn Care

Curlin might not be the King of Pop, but he is the King of Romp. I am determined to go to Churchill Downs Saturday to watch the ruling power of the race course in the Stephen Foster Handicap (gr. I).

Horses and Their Tongues: What's up with that?

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...

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...
