Famous International Playboys

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 at least Declan's Moon had a long injury...

Preakness field grows; Curlin’s future still uncertain

Ah, the weekend is finally here! The lyrics from a certain 80’s anthem keep repeating over and over again in my head: “Everybody’s working for the weekend!” When we last checked in, I was feeling a bit down on the Preakness. It seemed that nobody wanted a piece of Big Brown and...

It Really Is All Relative

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 the parade of meaningless, mostly unrecognizable celebrities...

Curlin Pays a Visit

Finally, someone has figured out that you can bring the stars out even if they aren't running on the day - having Curlin parade past in his Horse of the Year sheet is a brilliant move. Nice to see him today (and he looks fabulous) -- and I'm glad that Jerry Bailey is pointing out that Curlin...

Derby Favorites

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 with Swale in 1984 (and was devastated when he died...

Derby Data

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 with the C-J Derby Data Track (and was pleased to...
