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...

With the Arlington Million only a day away, Team Archipenko (pictured) is feeling confident. Jockey Kevin Shea was pleased with what might be considered a slow work by American standards, but that's standard operating procedure for the 4-year-old...

Arlington Park shares a rare characteristic with only a few other American racetracks such as Del Mar, Keeneland and Saratoga -- people actually like going there for the atmosphere (indeed, how often do you read rave reviews of racetrack food?) as much...

Much has been made over Midnight Cry's 20% ownership of Curlin and the various licensing issues it has caused -- yesterday the judge in the case denied the motion to force the sale of said percentage -- but little has been mentioned about their continued...

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...

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...

It's not quite a Breeders' Cup card, but there is a lot to like on the Belmont undercard. There are some interesting betting races but I am most looking forward to seeing some of my favorite horses in action. True North Handicap Rick Dutrow's...

Tomcito is apparently out of the Belmont with a ' reaction ' -- no specifics were given on what might be going on there, but it would seem that the ranks are thinning for the race. Given the number of unpleasant things that have come out about...

Inspired by the latest TBA polls and by a post at TheRail about Spend a Buck , I realized I should be writing much more about his remarkable son, Einstein (pictured). If you were watching ESPN's fine undercard coverage on Derby day (as opposed to...

...and I'm back in business (after a sojourn to DC that involved some work at Archives II , Pizzeria Paradsio , catching the Oaks on TV at a bar, Crowded House and some early trains). I'm catching up on everything happened yesterday and was obviously...

With the Derby post positions announced (and the Kentucky Derby odds beginning to move), it's time to go on the record. I've been poring over the DRF's PPs for the Derby; I like the Moss Pace Figures version . Here are my conclusions about...

Things might finally be moving forward in the ongoing Curlin ownership saga; while not confirmed, the word is that Jess Jackson should be able to pick up the remaining shares that are involved in the suit : It is believed that Stonestreet Stables has...

The big question from this past weekend is what to make of the Fountain of Youth results -- do they really tell us anything at this point? Nick Zito's Cool Coal Man won, but the timing of the race had to be adjusted after an outrider apparently tripped...
