Although 10f. seems likely to be beyond him on pedigree, Grand Mo the First looked better than most of the favorites while galloping over the CD surface. It's a shame that he's not in the Pat Day Mile...

Forget about speed figures, this maiden-breaker trained by John Gosden (and son) couldn't have won more impressively!

So cool to see the close resemblance (head markings and "white" eye) of the appropriately named young sire Honor A.P., and his famous paternal grand-sire, A.P. Indy! A good example of prepotency! (photo credits: Sarah Andrew and Barbara Livingston)
‡ Sporting Art: Robert Polhill Bevan Bevan (5 August 1865 – 8 July 1925) was a British painter, draftsman and lithographer. He developed a unique and interesting style, and created more than a few works depicting horse sales. Here is a nice example that was sold at auction…

‡ re: Justify / Hall of Fame A few related points. Would anyone expect an "undefeated" Triple Crown winner not to be elected? Of course not. Does it matter that he is off to an outstanding start at stud? No, it is irrelevant, as the election is supposed to be based on racing…

‡ re: Lonhro I expect that at least some readers have heard the news about the recent death of Lonhro, a great Australian racehorse, and excellent sire. He won 26 races, 11 of which were Group I, numbers which obviously contrast sharply with those associated with horses that…
I agree with ITP – this "new" wager is precisely the type that the industry shouldn't adopt. Unless, of course, it wants it's rapidly dwindling retail customer base to tap out even more rapidly.

Yes, this is yet another example of what should be considered an increasingly concerning, not so recent trend. Caracaro was retired to stud after having made four starts. His sire, Uncle Mo, made eight career starts, and has already demonstrated that soundness in his offspring…

@Tinky47flat If that is the case, I would not want him galavanting around the oval just before the Derby. That is where you 1. Have a partner or 2. Pony him. But, I am not a trainer and never wanted to be. What do I know.
@Tinky47flat Not a lot of consideration of expected value in this game...or not enough at least.
@Tinky47flat Plan B is almost universally the right choice when the Derby is an option, but it’s annually the road not taken
@Tinky47flat Then you do agree that there has to be a better way so I guess it was a good take :-)
Confirming he definitely won’t be part of the pace now…
Trainer Brad Cox confirmed Encino will not run in Kentucky Derby 150 making Epic Ride draw into the field.
@BradWeisbord @SwiftHitter @LCrow11 Yes let’s brag about a horse who was only sound enough to make two starts that will now further dilute the gene pool.
@Devon_Bianca @FlyerTom23 @BradWeisbord Multiple vets noted abnormal gate. Racing sound is not sound. Xrays are cheap and useful. Don’t just inject and go. At least make an effort to diagnose first.
Sceptre was a giant of the English Turf. Along with her unique record of four Classic victories, this remarkable filly with an iron constitution, contested the Derby, Oaks, Grand Prix de Paris, Coronation Stakes and St James's Palace Stakes in little more than a fortnight in 1902
@Tinky47flat @WilliamDenzik @BradWeisbord I love it. I would also like to know. I think some of the most nefarious deeds will require people to inform on others. Navarro and Servis got caught because they used phones, which would be considered an amateur move for any serious criminal. Nobody told on them that we know of.
The Derby card on Saturday is 10 hours and five minutes long. There is 90 minutes between the Turf Classic and Derby. Don't get shut out.
@Tinky47flat I worked for HTJ in 86 when I left school. As a 16yo being told you were going to do a swinging canter upsides on the Al Bahathri was a real treat (unless there was a train coming the other way)
Beautiful morning in the Bluegrass @claibornefarm.
@Tinky47flat I don't remember that commercial (I guess that speaks to its quality), but this Ad does not scream "see you at the races!" lol
Lovely granddaughter of recently-deceased champion Lohnro. 💕
I’ve been watching draft and my 3 girls ages 10, 8, 5 asked if the Chiefs got a good player and I told them a really good new tight end and it did not go over well!
Damn, I like Tinky’s posts.
