They have never owned Woodbine. They moved down south, because the people at Woodbine knew and saw through what they were all about.

Up until Saturday, Chad Brown was 15-0-2-0, in Grade I races on the dirt for 3 year olds. So basically, he was starting to mimic Plethcher.

They spent $6400, on the ticket. A group of 14 hit it. They had both California Chrome and Arrogate on the ticket.

It does not matter, if he wins the eclipse, he will rant, if he loses, he will still be rant. He has one left until he slides into oblivion.

Too much money at stake for all parties involved to pull a stunt like this. Then the stable name would truly fit.

The reason I ask, is that California Chrome wears one.

One thing that almost every trainer does is weigh his horses. Would like to see this information. Especially for younger maturing horses. You would be able to tell who has grown and who has not. Also it would tip you off, if animals have been sick and off their feed, or being out of training.

Racing on the West Coast of the United States for trainer D. Wayne Lukas, Winning Colors won both of her starts at age two. In the spring of 1988, the large filly put on a powerful performance in the Santa Anita Derby, defeating colts her age by 7½ lengths. Sent to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby, she was up against a stellar field of colts including Risen Star, Seeking the Gold, Forty Niner, Regal Classic, and co-favorite Private Terms. As was her habit, Winning Colors broke fast and raced to the lead. Although Forty Niner made a determined charge in the homestretch, she held him off to win by a neck.
So how many of the colts that RA beat are going to the breeding shed? Winning Colors actually beat better colts, than Rachael will have faced this year. So the quality of her competition was not that great. If you don\'t go to the Big Dance, and lay it all on the line like Zenyatta did, you don\'t deserve the \"Big Prize.\" What does the Derby, Travers, Jockey Gold Cup and the Classic have in common? They are all run at the true distance of Champions. Rachael, when she was running in the Preakness, looked like Mine That Bird would have caught her with another 1/16th of a mile. Who was going to catch Zenyatta on Saturday?

I just find it really quite funny, that a distinction is made between dirt, turf and synthetic accomplishments in horse racing. Do we make the same distinctions when we crown the Super Bowl Champion? Do we note the difference between natural field teams and turf teams? Who ever shows up to the year end dance, and wins the big prize is crowned the champion. Why should it not be any different for horse racing? I have yet to hear, that the Super Bowl Champion was the best Artificial Turf team this year, and that is why they won.

What is the big problem with closing the betting 2-3 minutes before the gates open, so that ALL THE MONEY is calculated into the pools. We are so accustomed to having the money stop when the bells ring that the gates open. When we play the lottery, is not the cut-off 2-3 hours before the drawing? So what is a couple of minutes to save the integrity of the sport?

And if you right and do catch her bouncing, the pay-offs will be very rewarding.

Mr Ramsey has been known to bet with \"Both Fists\" on some of his horses at times.
