With Big Brown's retirement , the Breeders' Cup Classic seems wide open (or at least it will until we know who is pre-entered on Thursday). Curlin is still the desired headliner, of course, and while his workout yesterday seemed to please both...

Finally, someone is asking the important questions about Big Brown's retirement ! Case Clay, president of Three Chimneys, said he's saddened by the news and isn't sure when Big Brown would arrive at the farm. "We're just going to...

It's a bit of a quiet week; Curlin had a workout to prep for the Jockey Club Gold Cup on the 27th and Colonel John became one of the first Breeders' Cup contenders to work over Santa Anita's new surface . Like Big Brown and a number of other...

As Val so correctly notes , the Curlin - Big Brown war of words may continue on, but it should not overshadow the other remarkable horses in training right now; it's really a stellar group of fillies and mares currently on show. The Alabama gives...

The Curlin / Big Brown war of words continues -- this shot from Jess Jackson: " Big Brown's camp's recent remarks about Curlin inspired me to offer an incentive to get these two great horses to race at the legendary track at the Spa,” said...

Spirit One's victory in the Arlington Million is being somewhat overshadowed in the European press by the manner of Archipenko's defeat. The Guardian quotes trainer Mike de Kock as referring to Johnny Murtagh's ride on 3rd-place finisher Mount...

Superfecta is back from the shore and back to (almost) normal business, although this will still be something of an odd week. Curlin had his final work for his turf debut earlier; the Man O' War is still the preferred option, and it seems that the...

This is what the real deal looks like. Kent Desormeaux has a lot more to say about the Belmont now -- but frankly, I'll take Curlin over his horse any day. What was his name again? More on the rest of the day later.. Read More...

Screw Hooters , UPS and Woodford Reserve -- this is more like it : Suffolk Downs has announced that the purse for this year’s Massachusetts Handicap will be $5 million if Big Brown wins the Triple Crown and both he and 2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic (gr....

After a lackluster performance in the Peter Pan, I'm not sure what to make of Tomcito at this point; I hope he's not following in the Declan's Moon path of 2-year-old domination, then regular bullet works, but no wins come the afternoon (although...

The first Derby horse I have a clear picture of rooting for was Genuine Risk ; when she won, I figured this whole picking winners thing was pretty easy. The next horse I recall backing was Slew O'Gold , who finished 4th in 1983. I was back in form...

Until tomorrow afternoon's post position draw, the only Derby trail action is analyzing (and overanalyzing) the contenders' works and every possible bit of data available, no matter how tangential. To that end, I always look forward to playing...

The world's best three year old is...not Big Brown (gasp!) The latest World Thoroughbred Rankings have placed Australia's Weekend Hussler at the top of his age group; his 122 point ranking (tying for 8th in the world overall) equals that of Hard...

'Undefeated' has been the hot tag for Derby contenders the last few years (even if they rarely carry that honor away from Churchill Downs); last week saw Big Brown (few starts because of his fragile feet) head to the top of the hype class, and...

Although I was duly impressed by Bellamy Road 's Wood Memorial victory back in 2005, I confess I never got on his bandwagon; I stayed with Afleet Alex , who had been my pick since before the 2004 Juvenile. (For the record, my Derby trifecta that year...
