Princess Rooney Handicap
Dream Rush is an exceptional filly. I thought she was a near lock in the BC FM Sprint. Things have not gone exactly to plan for her since last August. It’s hard to believe that she has not won a race for 11 months. You either have to believe that she will come […]
I’m going to be out of town at another family wedding for the next week and a half so this space will be somewhat dormant until Friday July 11th when I’m scheduled to return.
So Happy Canada Day to some and Happy Independence Day to others. May all your bets be winning ones!
Weekend Overview: Two weeks ago we saw almost nothing but favorites winning. This week the favorites took a battering. Prior to this weekend I’m not sure you could have sold me on the fact that Proud Spell, A.P Arrow, Go Between, Daytona, Z Fortune, Noonmark, Magnificience and Zanjero would all lose. Music Note, Mast Track […]
This weekend features a first for Kennedy’s Corridor and the syndicated version on the TBC homepage. We have arranged to have Alex Zelvin write a featured article. Alex has a blog of his own called ThoroughMetrics and is the founder of ThoroughMetrics (http://www.freewebs.com/breedinganalysis), which does statistical analysis and research for the thoroughbred racing industry. I’m […]
This race a joke of a Grade 1. Half the horses are coming out of optional claiming races, not always as winners I might add, and there isn’t a Grade 1 winner in the field. After the race, one will be–by default. This race should be downgraded to a Grade 2 or 3 before the […]
Iowa Sprint Handicap
Last year this race served as the official coming out of Benny The Bull this year it may signal the rise to prominence of another horse. We all know that Noonmark is good. He has been a quality horse since early on in his career. The problem with him is that he often […]
The future look series I’m doing is more or less like the numerous top 10 lists you’ll find for the Derby. Except I’m not going to update them on a weekly basis. The idea is just to give you an idea of some of the best horses to follow in the build up to the […]
Because Curlin would go down in history. He’ll never win as many races as John Henry. He’ll never win as many in a row as Cigar. He’ll probably never win a race by 31 lengths and smash the track record by two and a half seconds. He’ll never be an undefeated Triple Crown winner. He’ll never win […]
I spent this morning in the dentists chair and I’m just getting to the point where I can feel my face again. Perhaps its an after effect of the drugs but I just feel like jotting down a few random thoughts on some of the biggest current topics.
- I think IEAH has done a decent […]
Weekend Overview: I’m thrilled that Congress might get some butts in gear. I called for something like this a while back in some posts called An Audience With The Boss. I’m hopeful that as a result of these hearings we can hopefully get everyone on the same page. Royal Ascot was also this weekend and […]
