Showers and storms lead to a sloppy, sealed main track and no turf on opening day at the Spa. Early/pressing types off the rail fared well, with a trio of wire jobs on the day. Alan Garcia and Cornelio Velasquez both booted home a pair, and kudos to Steve Asmussen saddling a trio of winners. […]
2006 BC hero Red Rocks was back on US soil and got the firm ground he enjoys, and he parlayed a perfect trip behind a lively pace into a razor sharp two length tally over reigning Horse of the Year Curlin in the $500k Man O’ War (G1) at Belmont Park on Saturday (July 12th). […]
Curlin will be attempting something new on Saturday (July 12th) in the Grade 1 Man O’ War, and if he takes to the turf like his connections hope he will, it is off to France for a shot at Arc de Triomphe (G1) glory in October. He must pass this test first, and it should […]

The Steve Asmussen trainee never got involved in his final Polytrack prep, and now he must find a new peak following a poor […]
Southern California synthetic specialist Gayego parlayed a beautiful tracking trip into a gritty three-quarter length tally over Z Fortune in the Arkansas Derby, and both horses figure to head to Louisville in three weeks.
Gayego is one of several quality early/pressing runners heading to Churchill Downs, and his win on Saturday seems to flatter […]

Steve Asmussen did a stellar job getting Curlin through the rigors of the Triple Crown last year, and the valuable lessons he learned could pay huge dividends for Pyro in 2008.
The classically bred Pulpit colt, out of a Wild Again mare, steadily improved as distances increased in […]
