Heavy favorite Commentator ran his race in Monday’s Grade 1 Met Mile at Belmont Park, but Robert Frankel’s First Defence softened him up, which enabled Divine Park to run on by in the final yards.
Commentator broke on top and set fractions of 22-2/5, 44-2/5, and 1:09-3/5, but First Defence never let him have a […]
Belmont Stakes hopeful Denis of Cork, last seen finishing 3rd in the Kentucky Derby, breezed five furlongs in :59.80 at Churchill Downs on Monday.
The promising son of Harlan’s Holiday galloped out six furlongs in 1:13 and is coming to the Belmont Stakes with some momentum.
Robby Albarado, who booted home Denis in the Grade […]
Big Brown was doing better on Memorial Day Monday, a few days after a quarter crack was found on his left front foot. Hoof specialist Ian McKinlay is treating the undefeated colt and is reportedly hopeful that the Dutrow trainee will return to the track as early as Wednesday.
The famous foot is beginning to cool […]
The Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile, the 9th race at Hollywood Park on Memorial Day, is an interesting contest between Ever A Friend and Daytona.
Daytona is a proven stakes performer. He has won five of his last six graded turf routes, and his consistent early/pressing speed always gives him a leg up on the competition, but […]
Monday’s nine-furlong Grade 1 Gamely (race 3) attracted just five fillies and mares, including win machine Rutherienne. The 9-for-11 late running miss has never earned a triple digit speed fig, but she has a nose for the wire and will be finishing once again. However, she will not get much pace to chase in this […]
Nick Zito’s Commentator is the 6-5 morning line choice in Monday’s Grade 1 Metropolitan Mile at Belmont Park. He exits a pair of facile wire jobs at Gulfstream, and he is 4-6 at Big Sandy and 3-3 at a flat mile. Those are impressive stats indeed, but the enigmatic sort has tossed in a low […]
In the past Big Brown has suffered from quarter cracks in both of his front feet, which explains why he only started three times prior to the Triple Crown series.

Dancing In Silks strolled to an effortless wire-to-wire maiden breaker and garnered a triple digit speed rating in his second career start at Hollywood Park on April 27th.

Denis of Cork was considered a top Kentucky Derby candidate after three victories in as many starts to kick off his career, but his schedule was interesting to say the least after that.
Following his victory in the Southwest (G3), his owner decided to call an audible and skip the Rebel Stakes based on sheets […]
Tale of Ekati, last seen finishing a better than expected 4th in the Kentucky Derby, worked a sharp four furlongs in :46.84 on May 20th in preparation for the June 7th Belmont Stakes.
