Curlin to Delaware Park?
Jul 02 2008, 07:33 AM

A brief vacation check-in from the Delaware Shore...while I'm sure his nomination is just insurance in case the license issues cannot be worked out for the Man O' War and/or heading to Arlington is out for some reason, I would be a happy camper...

Summer Metapost
Jun 27 2008, 03:16 PM

For your convenience, we offer a bit of a metapost today, featuring some highlights from TBA blogs (but certainly not doing justice to all of them): Railbird is keeping track of this week's drug issues (and Barry Irwin's response) as well as Man...

Dutrow's Annual Suspension
Jun 25 2008, 09:56 AM

Rick Dutrow is preparing for his annual vacation banning, this time for a horse he had running on Kentucky Oaks day in the Aegon Turf Sprint who tested positive for a rather festive amount of clenbuterol : "I was there all week and am responsible...

Horses Americans Should Know IV: Yeats
Jun 24 2008, 12:46 PM

We don't breed many horses like Yeats in North America; while his sire, Sadler's Wells , has plenty of familiar Northern Dancer blood, his dam, Lyndonville , is entirely European. Yeats also has a half-brother, Tsukuba Symphony , who won over...

No to Drugs, But Yes to Toe Grabs?
Jun 24 2008, 08:33 AM

IEAH made a much-publicized announcement yesterday, saying that they'll be weaning their horses off the juice by October (more or less, and not counting Lasix -- one suspects the list of things that 'don't count' may grow). They did not...

Royal Ascot: Tying Up Loose Ends
Jun 23 2008, 03:02 PM

Kingsgate Native (pictured) sprinted home to take the Golden Jubilee at a price on Saturday (although he was duly noted as a real threat here ) and is pointed toward the July Cup at Newmarket and then a defense of his Nunthorpe victory. He was the only...

Lush Lashes Lands Loot
Jun 20 2008, 01:01 PM

Apparently a change in distance is no problem for Jim Bolger's Lush Lashes -- although her last race was over a mile and a half (and not a particularly successful effort for her), she easily cut back to the mile distance of the Coronation Stakes....

Yeats and Debates
Jun 19 2008, 12:46 PM

The biggest story of the day from Royal Ascot is that Yeats did, indeed, win the Gold Cup for the third year running . He is only the second horse to achieve this milestone -- the other, Sagaro , ran in the 1970s. Yeats is also the first 7-year-old to...

Royal Ascot: Day 1
Jun 17 2008, 12:45 PM

Royal Ascot opened today with a gritty win for Haradasun in the Queen Anne Stakes; although passed by two horses, he battled back at the end to claim victory. Darjina and Finsceal Beo were second and third (although both encountered traffic trouble) Read...

Curlin Triumphant
Jun 14 2008, 09:03 PM

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...

Winning Colors' Winning Filly
Jun 13 2008, 05:37 PM

Winning Colors may be gone, but her second-to-last foal won her debut in style at Churchill Downs; her time for the five furlong race is the best of the meet so far. A dark grey filly like her mother (well, like her mother at 2), Ocean Colors is trained...

A Great (Secret) Weekend of Racing
Jun 13 2008, 10:13 AM

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...

Steroids: Not Just for Americans Anymore
Jun 12 2008, 02:30 PM

Takeover Target is an amazing horse by any standard; the Aussie sprinter has won 1 7 of his 33 starts , winning in Australia, Japan, Singapore and the UK. Now the British press wants to know whether he comes by his speed entirely honestly. Two years ago...
