First the rain, then the race, then the rainbow and then rowdy celebration as Golden Tempo delivered another last-to-first run to remember in winning the $2 million Belmont Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course on Saturday. The victory was historic in many ways: trainer Cherie DeVaux, who became th...
It all started with Maram. Back in 2008, training on his own for about a year, 30-year-old Chad Brown saddled the dark bay daughter of Sahm to prevail in a desperate three-way battle to the wire and win the Miss Grillo Stakes by a neck. The Miss Grillo, then a Grade 3, was not only […]...
Mention Kentucky and two words often come to mind: horse racing and bourbon, not necessarily in that order. Sunday’s $350,000 Bourbon Stakes (G2) is the last of eight Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” races on Keeneland’s Fall Stars Weekend. By chance or by design, its post time is short...
The $175,000 Futurity (G3) at Aqueduct on Friday may result in trainer Todd Pletcher having two more contenders for the Breeders’ Cup next month at Del Mar.

The victories on Friday gave one of the nation’s top conditioners a pair of fees-paid automat...
Looking for a 13th victory in the $200,000 Oak Leaf Stakes (G3) on Saturday, Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert sends out four of the eight 2-year-old fillies seeking an all-fees paid automatic berth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1). The 1 1/16-mile Oak Leaf, which was known as the Chandel...
Here’s the scoop on the $200,000 Rodeo Drive Stakes (G2): Who doesn’t like Iscreamuscream in a field of seven going 1 ¼ miles on the turf for a berth in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1)? The 3-year-old filly faces older horses for the first time when the daughter of Twirling Candy...
Nothing Better is obviously a “horse for the course” entering the $200,000 Belmont Turf Sprint (G3) on Saturday. The 6-furlong turf dash at Belmont at the Big A attracted a field of nine with Prince of Jericho also entered as a main-track only runner in the event the race is rained off the grass...
Santa Anita Park is ready for another huge Saturday with a 10-race card including three Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” races dominated by horses trained by Bob Baffert and Phil D’Amato. All totaled, Baffert and D’Amato have 10 of the 22 horses entered for the $300,000 American Pharoah...
The top three finishers from the Saratoga Derby (G1) in August square off again Saturday in the $500,000 Jockey Club Derby (G3) on the Belmont at the Big A card. That trio are the ones to beat in the 1 3/8 miles turf contest for 3-year-olds. They have the experience and the class edge over […...
