• A Great (Secret) Weekend of Racing

  There is a great weekend of racing to look forward to - it's a shame it's going to be hidden away on HRTV and TVG. Check out today's Green but Game for a fantastic open letter to the NTRA on this very topic; she is spot on! Here's what...

• Ambassador Curlin

  With the Triple Crown over, we can finally turn our attention back to the real deal – Curlin . Despite grumblings from trainer Steve Asmussen over the high weight he has been assigned (even though that weight is lower than what he carried in the Jaguar...

• We Criticize Because We Love

  There are some great moments in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull . There are also a number of brain-hurtingly bad things that could have been easily avoided with just a quick glance at Google Maps which make someone like me with a bunch...

• Jockey Changes and Lawsuits

  While it may seem as though it's all Big Brown , all the time (and hey, you may as well get it while you can), there are, in fact, some older horses in training. Brass Hat (pictured) takes aim at the Louisville Handicap this weekend. He'll be... Posted May 22 2008, 09:40 AM by SuperfectaBlog Filed under: Brass Hat, Big Brown, Tomcito, Casino Drive

• Career Paths

  While it's Derby Works a Go-Go at the moment for the 3-year-olds, there's plenty of actual racing action going on beyond that sphere. In the 'comeback' column, first noted at Brooklyn Backstretch , 2005 Preakness runner-up/tripper Scrappy...

• Whither Randy Moss?

  Pity poor John Servis – he had a brush with possible greatness (or at least Very Goodness) with Smarty Jones , had a rough ride with Rockport Harbor and lost Hard Spun to Larry Jones after picking him out for Rick Porter. Now he has a truly thankless... Posted Mar 06 2008, 02:30 PM by SuperfectaBlog Filed under: Brass Hat, Media, The Green Monkey, Pyro, Circular Quay, Tale of Ekati, Smarty Jones

• Bon Voyage, Victory Gallop

  This weekend sees the rescheduled Santa Monica , featuring Hystericalady and Pussycat Doll and the Strub (with Air Commander , Great Hunter , Slew's Tizzy and Tiago all back in action) but the headline event should be the Donn Handicap . Dahaar is... Posted Feb 01 2008, 11:52 AM by SuperfectaBlog Filed under: Great Hunter, Tiago, Anak Nakal, Brass Hat

• Curlin's Future Decided?

  The rumor is out that a decision has been made regarding Curlin's future ; since it will likely involve ongoing litigation no matter what, here's hoping he'll be in training in 2008. There have certainly been enough retirements this week;... Posted Dec 19 2007, 01:27 PM by SuperfectaBlog Filed under: Curlin, Brass Hat, Genetics

• Where Alph, The Sacred River, Ran

  As some other TBA bloggers have noted , there was a lovely New York Times article on Karakorum Racing over the weekend. I've never loved the way they name their horses (Karakorum Insert-Name-Here) and would be excited to see them named after Silk...
