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 [...]

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 Big Saratoga Giveaway Days Announced

You’ll forgive me this week if I concentrate on Saratoga Raceway. I am partial to Saratoga. I worked for a number of years near Woodstock and travelled up to Saratoga in the summer for my horse racing fixes. Yeah. That’s right. I have a horse racing fix. Don’t you? Anyway…. This summer, the troubled raceway [...]

Goldikova is Superb, Winning the Queen Anne Stakes at Ascot

I love watching Goldikova race. Luckily, I was able to watch her race in the Queen Anne Stakes the other day and she performed wonderfully.  Put her in a race at a mile on good ground and she’ll get it done time and again. I had my doubts at the beginning of the race though, because [...]

Successful Homecoming for Jockey Nakatani, Wins Riding a 21-1 Long Shot at Hollywood Park

This, from our correspondent in Whittier, California. It’s a cool story about Corey Nakatani, who left Southern California earlier this year for a fresh start. Well, he enjoyed a happy homecoming June 1 when he rode 21-1 long shot Victor’s Cry to a victory in the $250,000 Grade I Shoemaker Mile at Hollywood Park. Nakatani, a [...]

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 [...]

Presenting the Field for Today’s Preakness Stakes (Favorite, of Course, is Super Saver, the Kentucky Derby Winner)

Here is the field for today’s Preakness Stakes: Aikenite under jockey Javier Castellano with morning line odds of 20-1 Schoolyard Dreams under jockey Eibar Coa, 15-1 Pleasant Prince under jockey Julien Leparoux, 20-1 Northern Giant under jockey T.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Multi-Billion Dollar Horse Racing Complex Planned in China

Correspondents in China (reporters for the U.K. newspaper, the Telegraph) note that an ambitious 10-year project  aims to create a “Tianjin Horse City” (see photo of the city above) with an international equestrian college, horse-breeding centre, auction base, animal feed factory, racetrack, and 7-star hotel with sweeping, phoenix-shaped grandstand. How is it gonna be financed? Oil [...]
