Does anyone know if the Arc is on television anywhere in America? French racing is hardly ever on TV; even TVG or HRTV don't show it, I presume due to various rights.

Kentucky Downs

What is the general feeling among state residents and others in the industry about Kentucky Downs? I just see it on TV, but I think "what a GREAT-looking track!" They bill themselves as America's only European-style track, and if they had the purse structure, I would think it could be a hit among so...

I was struck by this quote in today's Thoroughbred Times Today issue from Dr. Gary Knapp: "I can see why people didn't take a shot on her, but I'm happy to." It made wonder why!

Andy Beyer wrote a pretty blistering review of his antics a few years(?) ago when he was forced to have all of his horses in a detention barn....and he hardly won a thing during that time frame. I think fans would like to see more serious penalties for violations rather than merely having assistants...

It is very sad to see a track like Colonial Downs, which is very new (opened September 1, 1997) and judging from what I see on television a very attractive race track, for sale. Not to mention that its claim to fame is its turf course, and it has had fairly decent-sized fields--as turf racing usuall...

I would place at about 25 the 1935 Triple Crown winner Omaha. He not only won the Triple Crown, but at age 4 was shipped to England where he won a few races and also ran second in the prestigious Ascot Cup and the Prince of Wales Stakes. Great versatility, a Triple Crown winner, but unfortunately no...

Any sales other than F-T streamed online?

Hi Everyone - First of all, this is my first posting and I'm delighted to have found the forums here. (Never mind the fact I've been using Pedigreequery for a few years without even realizing there WAS a Forum. Old age and bifocals do that to you!) Anyway, is anyone aware of sales companies streamin...
