I read on the Bloodhorse that it's not considered a world record since the first three furlongs were run on the downhill course.

I read on another forum that Rock Hard Ten is in quarantine and will be moving to Korea? Does anyone know if that's true?

I'm afraid Rock Hard Ten will be sold since all of his best runners win going long on the turf.

Why didn't Three Chimneys just put him down after that ultrasound found 3 big tears in his heart? It sounds like a painful way to go.

Havre de Grace retired

They said she had some heat in her ankle. That's disappointing.

I find the argument that ZEN doesn't rate the HOY curious. After all, ZEN is a mare. A big talented mare, but none the less, a mare. Looks to me like she handled herself well in the company of all those colts. So BLAME beat a mare. He beat her by a head and she picked up something like fifteen leng...

HOY is a more subjective decision. It reminds of the TIME Magazine Person of the Year award. Over 140K fans packed CD and IMO that the majority of the folks were there to see ZENYATTA. With her second place finish, no one should be disappointed in her. If you think about if the race had been 12f sh...

I don't know if this was the original site that you guys are talking about, but Shadwell has an arabian stud in Europe and those boys don't have the dished face either; they look very similar to tbs!

He is registered as a Dark Bay or Brown, because the TB Jockey Club registry does not recognize black, but he is really a True Black (does not fade in the summer or have any brown hairs). From their website. Is he really black? He has what looks to be a buckskin colt on his foals page. I thought it...

That's what I read. I think it was the Bloodhorse? An article said a dog gave a positive ID several times of an accelerant. I hope they find out who did this terrible thing.

I do think it will be tough for JJ to run in the Ladies with Z in the BCC. So I have a solution for him. Put RA in a Allowance or small Stake at one mile on the turf if she looks real good let her take on Goldie in the BC Mile. If she doesn't take to the turf in the allowance swallow you're pride a...

Mingun to Denmark

I noticed about one to two weeks ago that Mingun was no longer listed on Lane's End's roster and figured he'd be moving. Didn't think he'd go to Denmark though!

I read in the DRF that Z's camp has changed their tune and is now thinking of running her in the Zenyatta stakes at SA. If that's true it'll be yet another missed opportunity to showcase her talent. Shirreffs seemed cool to the idea of sending Zenyatta to Belmont Park for the $350,000 Beldame Stakes...
