		<title>Santa Anita Handicap Taken by Misremembered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I loved this race. Did you see it?
If not, Misremembered took the Santa Anita Handicap, in Arcadia, Ca. (on Mar. 6)&#8230;winning $750,000&#8230; by holding off a game Neko Bay by about half a length.
 
Hall of Famer Bob Baffert is 4-year-old Misremembered&#8217;s trainer and  breeder.
Misremembered, ridden by Martin Garcia, ran 1 ¼ miles in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gearing Up for the Triple Crown! Lying in Wait for May 1, at Churchill Downs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a long way from May 1, but from where I sit (and bet), the Kentucky Derby can&#8217;t come too soon.
And I&#8217;ll bet you feel the way I do.
So let&#8217;s talk Triple Crown.
Ain&#8217;t been done sine 1978, Affirmed.
Other winners  include Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral  (1937), Whirlaway (1941), [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the U.K., Free Race Admission in April Used to Attract New Fans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I love this story, which I heard about on the BBC. [OK, I'm a nerd. I monitor the BBC]
Eight British race courses will open their gates for free  over six days between Monday 26 April and Saturday 1 May.
Ain&#8217;t that cool?
Taking part are some of  Britain&#8217;s biggest racing venues such as Ascot, Goodwood, [...]]]></description>

		<title>R.I.P. Dick Francis, Jockey and Famous Mystery Writer, Dead at 89</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A slight departure from the norm this week, if you&#8217;ll bear with me.
A legend (literary) passed away this week. Someone who was so closely aligned to the horse racing world that I thought it absolutely appropriate to talk about it in this forum.
Dick Francis was indeed  a champion  steeplechase jockey for the British royal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yahoo! Looks Like We Might See Some Improvements in Wyoming&#8217;s Struggling Horse Racing Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Well, finally. Someone (in the Wyoming legistlature) is waking up.
You have an industry. A struggling horse racing industry&#8230;and you&#8217;re letting it fall apart in this economy when we need every job possible?
Not only that&#8230;I love to watch horse racing.
OK&#8230;the Wyoming Senate Revenue Committee struggled early this week  with a bill to improve the depressed pari-mutuel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Corruption in Ireland; How Serious is the Irish Horse Racing Regulator?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


This, from our correspondent in Ireland.
By the way, no matter where you are reading this, from any country in the world that stages horse racing, I want to hear from you. If you have information, I&#8217;ll get it online. Just email me or send me a comment and I&#8217;ll get back to you.
Now, to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Del Mar (California) Track to Stay Synthetic; Santa Anita Switching Back to Dirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The news that the Santa Anita racetrack in Arcadia is going to remove its synthetic racing surface at the end of its current meeting in April and probably (we say &#8220;probably&#8221;) replace it with a dirt track goes against all safety studies.
I thought that since 2006 , all major tracks in Califorina (mandated by the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rachel Alexandra Takes Eclipse Award, Horse of the Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Yeah.
Awesome.
But I&#8217;m still a bit disappointed.
Rachel Alexandra won Horse of the Year, defeating rival horse Zenyatta (I LOVE Zenyatta) for the Eclipse Award.
The vote was 130 to 99.
I was really looking forward to this award. I thought (and I would have voted for) Zenyatta would win.

Neither horse lost last year.
They never raced against each other. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Georgia to Legalize Horse Race Betting? It Could Happen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m all for legalized betting, no matter where it is.
Reason? Our economy is so f**ked up that any kind of revenue we can get to prevent tax hikes I am for.
Besides, I am going to gamble (legally) no  matter what.
In Georgia, where I went to school, they are now considered legalizing horse race betting.
It&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Too Early to Talk Triple Crown 2010? I Don&#8217;t Think So&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Look, for horse racing fanatics like me, it’s never too early to talk triple crown.
But the fact is, the early nomination deadline for the 2010 races is Jan. 16.
Representatives from the three tracks will be at racing venues across the country signing up potential runners for the classic races, prior to the closing of the [...]]]></description>
