So, if there is another defection before the draw in the next 1/2 hour, Pleasant Prince gets in. Boy, he's gotta be tired from running Saturday.

It will be definitely be interesting to see who winds up on the AE list.

TP said there is no rush to make a decision whether to enter Interactif in the Ky Derby until tomorrow's entry day. Stated decision depends on whether or not owners want to run. Is this a strategic move designed to keep a competitor out or what?? Entries are taken too far out to insure a wet track f...

Where there is smoke there is fire and thankfully this issue has gone beyond the point of another Derby Day scratch. When cheap claimers move like he does then you work around those issues and keep them happy running in the lower ranks, you cannot do that with a horse about to be put to the sword a...

Just read on another forum there has been rumor of a suspensory problem for weeks. Allegedly the barn lameness vet had been visiting daily. If there was only a little filling, and they were hoping for a miracle with the overnight treatment, you would have to wonder if that treatment caused the leg t...

In the press conference today, the trainer mentions he didn't like Eskendereyea's last couple of gallops. IMHO, that would have been a red flag for the vet to go over him thoroughly and to keep a daily eye on him. Overnight swelling from ankle to knee, when a horse has not gone to the track, would m...

As of 8:30 ET, Eskendreyea is scratched from the Ky Derby due to unexplained filling in his left front leg. Stories in DRF and BH.

.I am so sorry to hear how miserable your mare is. I had a 3 yr colt in the same situation. We're in the midwest, so his didn't begin until June and lasted until the end of October. He missed race training the entire summer and early fall. We tried all the treatments you can't use in pregnant mares,...

Thanks! I'll check it out today. There are several horses in our area that experienced the head shaking after Flu & Rhino vaccines. All were greatly helped by allergy testing&allergy shots. The testing is a simple blood test. You would have to talk to your vet about whether allergy shots ar...

The sale looks very solid to me. Thanks to a 2.3M Distorted Humor colt (to Stonestreet) and several dozen other strong prices, both the average and median are currently higher than last year's. Nice spending by Japanese buyers too. Can you explain the high numbers of outs to me? I noticed many were...

Susan, there's certainly no one factor that determines sales price, but since there are 2yo races at 4-5 furlongs starting as early as April, there are probably going to be some buyers interested in stealing some purses early on. Granted, the trauma of the sales process often requires horses to tak...

If I am not mistaken this horse was bought by Zito for Whitehorse (Rbt Lapenta) so it follows their program. Buy em as yearlings, either sell em as 2 yo's for a lot of money or race em. Da Tara, etc followed same program. i think war pass, in fact i'm quite sure war pass rna'ed for like 1 million A...

Keep an eye on the Keeneland sale assuming Wilburn (a Bernardini out of a Carson City mare) is entered. He's already worked a half in 48 and change. I have a feeling they're going to look for a big price with him already developing so quickly. I'm really not familiar with the sales procedure. Does ...

Although I haven't seen him, or vetted him, # 130 has a lot going for him on paper. He worked an 1/8 in 10 2/5 (just 1 tick off the fastest 1/8 mile breeze time) and he's out of a stakes placed, stakes producing, Storm Cat mare. And his second dam is a Grade I winner and Grade I producer. He's cons...
