We’re All Still Waiting for the Race Between Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta

When will it happen? Everyone I know was greatly disappointed this past July when Rachel Alexandra did not race in Saratoga. Instead, she would take part in the Lady’s Secret Stakes. Rachel Alexandra won easily and offered little excitement or thrill as it was a completely one-sided affair. But maybe one can still have the [...]

If You Think American Horse Racing Tracks are in Trouble, So are British Tracks

I saw an item from the GREAT British newspaper, The Independent, on horse racing in the U.K. and thought you might be interested in seeing what is going on over the pond. For those who are bemoaning the state of American horse racing, check this out. Britain’s second most popular spectator sport: horseracing finds itself, [...]

Trouble in the Texas Horse Racing Business? Hold on To Your Saddles

There is trouble brewing in Texas. It’s about the last place you’d expect difficulties in the horse racing business, but there you go. It’s true. The Texas Horse Racing Commission voted to allow Retama Park in Selma, Texas, to reduce its fall thoroughbred schedule from 30 days to 16, to be staged on weekends in [...]

The Mongol Derby: The Longest Horse Race in the World, Begins Aug. 7

It’s been called the “Greatest Horse Race in the World” and the “Longest Horse Race in the world.” Either way, the Mongol Derby is not a challenge just any horse rider is willing to take on. Indeed, the 1,000 kilometer (more than 630 miles) endurance race over the Mongolian steppe — a diverse, often unforgiving [...]

All Hail Drosselmeyer; 13-1 Longshot Takes the Belmont

I love the Derby, but I grew up 15 minutes away from Belmont Raceway so the Stakes holds a place dear in my heart. Wherever I live, I watch the Belmont Stakes and it takes me back to when I was a kid. Meanwhile, I loved the race. And I’m glad First Dude lost. Nice [...]

Endangered New York Racing Season Saved; Paterson Introduces Bill to Provide $25 Million Loan to Keep Belmont, Saratoga and Aqueduct Tracks Open

The New York racing season looks like it’s been saved. A bill that would loan the New York Racing Authority, which essentially runs the Belmont, Aqueduct and Saratoga race tracks,  has been introduced to the New York legislature by Governor Paterson. That’s good news, one week before the June 5 Belmont Stakes. Here’s what the [...]

Six of Canada’s Best Horses (and Four Trainers) Inducted into Hall of Fame

Because I like to cover horse racing around the world, I thought it would be nice to tip the hat to six horses and four individuals who will be inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. Mister Big is one horse. Remember him? The second biggest pacer of all time in Canada. His [...]

All Hail Super Saver, and Super “Jockey” Calvin Borel, Kentucky Derby Winners

Well, I shouldn’t have been surprised. The 136th Run for the Roses ended with jockey Calvin Borel winning AGAIN, the third time in the past four years. This time, on Super Saver. The horse went off at 12-1 odds. So winning the Derby was nothing new for this great jocket (from Louisiana)…not so for trainer Todd [...]

Derby Day…Experts Around the Net Make Their Picks

I’ve spent the better part of a day checking out various media outlets to see what the experts think about today’s Derby. The horses most commonly amongst the expert Kentucky Derby betting picks are Super Saver, Awesome Act, Ice Box, and the filly Devil May Care. Here’s why: It’s gonna be a muddy track, remember. [...]

Kentucky Derby Preview: With Eskendereya Withdrawn, Who is the Favorite Now?

Ok. Now we have a problem, as bettors. Eskendereya, whom I would have bet on this Saturday, in the 136th Kentucky Derby has been withdrawn. Eskendereya, for those who aren’t aware of the horse, won the Fountain of Youth Stakes and Wood Memorial. He would have been a strong favorite in Saturday’s Kentucky Derby, but [...]
