Pedigree Query

I was there on Belmont Day and there weren't many people there even though it was a Mystery Mutuel Voucher day. The next day it was $1 Sunday and the place was really full for lately, abut 8,000, with a lot of young people. If only Magna would pull its head out of its ass, they'd have a lot more peo...

Years ago when I stabled at Pleasanton I recall a few trainers talking about taking their horse to unsanctioned meets. One was near Salinas and another up north near Redding. I think the purses were $500 to a thousand dollars. I am not familiar with any match racing but obviously it goes on.. zinn,...

Wilf, I understand how you mean this, that he is a nice colt in a crop of third-tier horses, and by class he might just take the whole thing. But you know better: There are no flukes in the Triple Crown. We always know that it is a special horse by the two-year-old year. Real Quiet almost made me ea...

Since Animal Kingdom was removed from Wayne Catalano and given to Graham Motion, when I heard that comment, I just assumed that Irwin was talking specifically about Catalano, but lumped in every other trainer he'd ever had. Then he goes and says later that Catalano was excluded from The List. That s...

I used Harris Farms for the last filly I had broke. She came back extremely professional about everything, including the gate, and has run well in her first two starts, both seconds. It was $50 a day in 2010. There weren't too many other charges, and shoes and things were reasonable. Since they've r...

I really miss him in the Breeders Cup, so I had high hopes that he would be back this year when NBC had the BC back. Now it looks like that won't happen. :( I think he does a great job, although I admit that once I heard him say that he does plan a little what he will say in big races, it did take a...

I really like Repole, think he's a breath of fresh air for racing, and would like him to win. I would also like to know why Mo's knee is shaved. IMHO, the crop of 2008 is such a mediocre crop that I think Mo can probably win on the heel injury...but that shaved patch sure makes it hard to bet.

In 1998, Myung Cho ran a maiden named Nationalore in the Derby. The field was not oversubscribed and the horse had placed in a couple of nice stakes. Sadly, the horse was continually entered in stakes races, and eventually broke down as a maiden, although he won over $300,000, as I recall. You do NO...

I like salesring.com. I've seen a lot of horses I'm familiar with on that site. It might have a good intuitive cookie as well, as it seems like it often puts on the top page horses that are of the type I search for.

It's really a function of anatomy. If the vulva isn't tipped and has good muscle tone, it's usually not necessary. I've never had a Caslick done on a filly in training. I've only ever had to do one on a mare that's been bred a few times. Frankly, sometimes there are trainers that sign up for every p...

Thanks! I would love to own that since i have a mare from the same family.

Yes, I remember those words well: "A properly engineered dirt track is just as safe."

:( Steve's center is shut down for now , he said there is no business, thats a shame, but I just keep looking :D Wow, when Steve Cauthen can't make it, we are all in trouble. I've never been there, but how about Stone Farm? I would think that they would have a good operation if they do training. I ...

I've talked to the photographer in Northern CA, and they told me they still have every photo. You have to call the track and ask for the photogrpher, because everybody's got a different price. Be sure to have as much info as possible: Name of the horse, date of the race, and race number. I doubt if ...

It's illegal in my county to bury a horse on your property, but of course people do. One lady had a Grand Prix jumper that she euthanized and she couldn't bear to send his dead body to the renderer, so she buried him on her 600 acre ranch. You'd think that would be enough land, but someone ratted he...
