This isn't the Kentucky Derby, this is the Breeders' Cup . Last year at the Breeders' Cup Stable Boy and I were able to push out track-side video in real time, through my blog. At the same time, I was tweeting live from the gap at Santa Anita. Observing the horses coming on and off the track. As well...

There were several nice moves in the big Kentucky Derby prep races this past weekend. The Lane's End was pretty decisive, but the Louisiana Derby had a pack at the end of the final turn. Were there any moves that stood out in your mind? Also, did any of you watch the races on the USA network, if so how...

If you read Adam's Turf regularly, then maybe you won money with Ice Box . "Jackson Bend is still over hyped in my opinion. Jackson Bend is a great horse, but I picked Eskendereya to beat him in the Fountain of Youth. I did like Ice Box's run as well. I pick Zito's Ice Box over his other horses." --...

Jockeys 2.3 Here is a quick review of the show and I would like to hear feedback of what you thought of the newest episode. How about the Dubai World Cup? The entire story surrounding Aaron Gryder and his attempt to win the Dubai World Cup was very captivating. The story included his family, the incredible...

Jockeys Season 2 I finally watched the first episode of the new season of Jockeys on Animal Planet, and here is my review of the episode and assessment of this season. I am hopeful about this season, because I was left feeling very excited at the end of this first episode. It seems the producers finally...

Thoroughbred racing coverage takes another hit. As sport giant ESPN has decided to cut its coverage of the Kentucky Oaks (gr.I) on Friday May 1, with its primary three networks, and opted for Bravo. I am an optimist, and Churchill placed a positive spin on ESPN's decision. It is true that Bravo will...

Being in the industry for a year and a half now, there is one thing I know. We need to engage younger people and bring in more fans to this wonderful sport.
