How a Pointless Race Can Have the Best of Purposes
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2020 INDEPENDENCE HALL STEPS UP IN DAVIS HOW A POINTLESS RACE by Joe Bianca Undefeated and impressive in all three of his career starts thus CAN HAVE THE BEST OF far, Independence Hall (Constitution) has earned respect as one PURPOSES of the top early choices for the GI Kentucky Derby. Saturday, fans will get a much clearer picture of whether that stature is justified, as the Mike Trombetta trainee heads south to take on a quality field in the GIII Sam F. Davis S. at Tampa Bay Downs. Sent off as a 7-5 favorite debuting in a seven-furlong event on the GI Pennsylvania Derby undercard at Parx, the dark bay broke slowly, but recovered quickly and ran away to an easy 4 3/4-length score. Stepped up into stakes company in the GIII Nashua S. Nov. 3 at Aqueduct, the $100,000 Keeneland September grad produced arguably the most impressive performance of any 2-year-old in 2019 when blowing the doors off his competition with a 12 1/4-length romp.

The barn area will open on Nov. 01, 2018 and the first day of training will be on Nov. 06, 2018.

Their stalls will be immediately and permanently revoked. Tampa Bay Downs will require horsemen to conduct due diligence with those buying horses and encourages them to support rescue and adoption efforts by finding humane ways of placing horses unable to continue racing. As a reminder, all owners and trainers must be in good financial standing will all backside vendors (feed companies, vets, van companies, etc.) and the association to be considered in the stall application process. -
Pletcher Savoring Belmont Win (Cont
MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2017 PLETCHER SAVORING RITVO WEIGHS IN ON SO CAL HORSE POPULATION BELMONT WIN Tim Ritvo, the chief operating officer of the racing division for The Stronach Group (TSG), has recently been assigned to focus on Santa Anita Park. One of the challenges that the iconic track-- and the entire Southern California circuit--faces is the issue of field size and optimal horse population management. Twice this spring, on Apr. 27 and June 8, Santa Anita has had to call off Thursday racing because of an inability to fill entries, and the track has since received permission from the California Horse Racing Board to drop the Thursday cards scheduled for June 15 and 22. In a Friday phone interview with TDN=s T.D. Thornton, Ritvo outlined both short- and long-term strategies that TSG might undertake to bolster the racing product. An edited transcript follows.

Cruise Planners
Lori Sereikis [email protected] www.cruiseplannerlori.com 352-701-0085 TAMPA, FL OVERVIEW Introduction Tampa Bay, Florida, has much to recommend it: Busch Gardens (which predates Disney World), impressive museums, winning sports teams (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Rays and Tampa Bay Lightning), fishing charters and one of the country's largest ports, rocking nightlife and a wealth of tourist attractions. Tampa has sharks and rays at the Florida Aquarium and the more lovable manatees at the zoo. At Busch Gardens, you can ride across re-created African plains in a safari truck, stopping to hand-feed roaming giraffes. Or you can go to sea on a fishing charter and try to catch your own wildlife. In Ybor City, the historic Cuban neighborhood, you can amble down brick streets, following your nose to bakeries to buy fragrant loaves of Cuban bread or to shops where tabaqueros hand-roll fine cigars. Lively Spanish conversation might lead you to an old- fashioned domino parlor where grandfathers with gnarled hands gather to play in friendly neighborhood matches. Antiques shops, boutiques and art galleries beckon. After dark, the nightclubs throw open their doors, and Ybor City metamorphoses into a hip nightlife spot. St. Pete (the local name for St. Petersburg, Florida) is only a 30-minute drive away, and the gorgeous Gulf Coast beaches are about a 45-minute drive. The theme parks of Orlando, Florida, are about 90 minutes to the east. Sights—Check out the architecture, shopping and nightlife in Ybor City; spend a day (at least) at Busch Gardens; take in a Broadway musical at the David A. -

2016 TRIPLE CROWN TRAIL by Jean Derench in 1996, GRINDSTONE Won the Louisiana Derby
2016 TRIPLE CROWN TRAIL by Jean Derench In 1996, GRINDSTONE won the Louisiana Derby. He defeated Zarb's Magic which won the Arkansas Derby and then went on to defeat Baffert's Cavonnier in the Run for the Roses. Grindstone won half of his six lifetime races and the Kentucky Derby was his last career start. He eventually as the sire of Belmont Stakes winner Birdstone, which upset favored Smarty Jones in that event. Grindstone was by Derby winner Unbridled. Prior to 1996, you have to go back to Black Gold's victory in 1924 to find a Louisiana Derby winner that went on to glory in Kentucky. However, in 2003, Funny Cide ran second and future classic winners Risen Star, Creme Fraiche & Drosselmeyer placed in the event. That being said, do we have a Kentucky Derby winner in the field of 11 that are projected to face the starter at the Fair Grounds this Saturday (March 26, 2016). I don't think so. But it does shape up to be a good betting race. I've covered several of the horses in my previous columns. Let me begin by introducing you to a few of the others. UNCLE WALTER is trained by Michael Maker who has won the last two editions of the Louisiana Derby (the recently deceased Vicar's In Trouble in 2014 and last year with International Star). Vicar's in Trouble would be last to California Chrome (who races in Dubai this weekend) and International Star was injured and didn't make it to Kentucky. Maker's entry this year is a son of Uncle Mo out of the Unbridled's Song mare Look For Good. -
