Many so called experts would have you believe that the pilot aboard your horse is of little importance. That simply is not true. While the best jockey in the world cant win when placed on what is clearly an inferior horse, there are riders that move horses up and make them better simply by sitting [...]

Horse racing rules in desperate need of reform
I’ve been known to bet a first time starter on occasions when I’m simply underwhelmed by the horses in a maiden race that have already made their debut. Just such an occasion arose on December 23 at Fair Grounds. The favorite, Big Chief Deke, wasn’t much at all and was catching most of his money based on [...]

Freshman Sire: Tiz Wonderful
It’s not often that I see seemingly limitless potential in a juvenile racehorse. I saw just that back in 2006 when Tiz Wonderful hit the scene. Now, the horse is trying to make his mark in the breeding industry as a sire for Spendthrift Farm. His first crop, which includes 143 horses, will hit the [...]

Freshman Sire: Curlin
Interested in owning a racehorse? Visit SouthCoast Bloodstock. When Secretariat retired from racing at the end of his three-year-old season the expectation was that he would become a “super sire“. While not a total flop at stud, he came nowhere close to satisfying the expectations of the breeding industry. 35 years later, Curlin started with a [...]

2012 California value stallions

His son, Acclamation, was able to win the Charlie Whittingham Memorial, Eddie Read and Pacific Classic; all Grade 1 races. The sire is also boosted by Grade 2 winner Burns. Likely emboldened by [...]

5 best sires for $10k or less
Interested in owning a racehorse? Visit SouthCoast Bloodstock. Breeding a thoroughbred race horse is risky business. The saying goes “breed the best to the best; and hope for the best.” Just like handicapping, breeding is an inexact science. New sires hit the scene every year and bargains are there for those interested in trying to [...]

My thoughts on ESPN’s Charismatic documentary
I remember hearing about Charismatic as a child. Being a mere 9 years old I can recall little other than that he won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes before falling short in the Belmont Stakes where Lemon Drop Kid ran on to a game victory. ESPN Films presented a documentary entitled Charismatic on Tuesday [...]
