    CHURCHILL DOWNS Saturday 05/02/2015 Forecast High Partly Sunny 75 F Low Precip: 12% 54 F THE WIZARD'S CRYSTAL BALL # 3 YOCKEY'S WARRIOR (Race 2) He apparently was still feeling the effects of his monstrous victory at first asking on April 4 at Keeneland, finishing second that day. Yockey's Warrior was a mere shell of himself at Keeneland last month, setting the pace over a track surface that was extremely unkind to frontrunners and/or runners racing towards the rail. Regardless, Yockey's Warrior held on well in the stretch to salvage the place once displaced on the front end by the winner, and he was clearly second best. He projects to compete over a fairer surface today, switching to Churchill Downs while getting a huge upgrade in riders to Joel Rosario. He looms the controlling speed once again, drawing an a beneficial inside post. #3 CARVE (Race 4) He has had the misfortune of competing against Race Day not once, but twice in both of his starts off a layoff in Arkansas. In their second go-round on April 11, he gave the aforementioned runner all he could handle past midstretch, but was unable to match strides with that dual graded stakes winner when it mattered in the final yards, settling for a sharp second place finish. Carve profits immeasurably from some class relief today and the absence of Race Day as well, running in a high-end optional claiming contest. A drop in class to face similar rivals at a flat mile resulted in a going away victory as the post time favorite over this track in 2014.

    WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2020 KENTUCKY SIRES FOR 2020 INTEGRITY ACT HEARING: OPPONENT SAYS >CONSENSUS BILL= ACHIEVABLE IN SIX IV: FIRST 2-YEAR-OLDS MONTHS by T. D. Thornton Witnesses from the Thoroughbred industry who testified Tuesday in Washington, D.C., at a legislative hearing on the Horseracing Integrity Act agreed that the sport is facing an unprecedented equine health crisis. But they were sharply split as to whether the current version of a federal bill mandating an independent anti-doping and medication control program was the best way to keep the industry from slipping into deeper peril.

Through the first three installments of this series, we've Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. repeatedly complained about ever-more manic investment in unproven stallions and the resulting potential for chronic deterioration in the gene pool. So we won't reprise the theme today, other than to remark that this situation creates a rather more immediate and specific challenge for the next group under review. Because while second- and third-season stallions can still offer breeders the possibility of riding an early vogue, this lot have just been exposed to the judgment of the yearling market-- which history reveals to be wholly unreliable--without yet having had the chance to respond through their first runners. The whole premise of backing unproven sires, of course, is that the majority will begin to reveal their deficiencies once they actually get stock on the track.

    In Focus Pimlico stakes Preakness Day May 16, 2015 For more, visit www.theracingbiz.com (Primary handicapping and analysis in this document by Ted Black.) GRADE 1 PREAKNESS STAKES RACE PARTICULARS: Race 13 (6:18 EDT), $1.5 million purse, 3 yo STORYLINE: The top three finishers from the Kentucky Derby arrive for the middle jewel of thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown, led by Derby winner American Pharoah will seek to become the 35th horse in history to capture the first two legs of the crown and then potentially seek to become only the 12th horse to successfully complete the Triple Crown sweep. RACE OVERVIEW: While the Derby was comprised of 18 runners, the Preakness has, by comparison, a compact field of eight three-year-olds that features only three "new shooters" who bypassed the Derby to play a spoiler role in this event in Baltimore. THE SCOOP The favorite - American Pharoah lived up to his role as the 5-2 choice in the Kentucky Derby to capture the run for the roses in a modest 2:03.02 for the one-mile and one-quarter distance at Churchill Downs. Last year's champion two-year-old colt has showed no signs of relinquishing his title as the best of his generation by taking both the Rebel Stakes and Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park before heading to Louisville to capture the sport's biggest prize to date. Top contenders - Firing Line finished a game and gritty second in the Derby after stalking the previously unbeaten Dortmund through the first mile of the 10-furlong affair.
