  • 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.

  • Grade Ii Louisiana Derby Jumps to $750000
    GRADE II LOUISIANA DERBY JUMPS TO $750,000 AND WILL BE RUN AT 1 1/8 MILES ON MARCH 27 BIG EVENT SCHEDULE CHANGES & TWO NEW RACES FOR FILLIES & MARES HIGHLIGHT FAIR GROUNDS’ RECORD $7.24 MILLION, 66-RACE STAKES MENU NEW ORLEANS, LA (Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2009) – Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots has raised the purse of the Grade II Louisiana Derby to $750,000, increased the distance to 1 1/8 miles and moved the 3-year-old fixture to Saturday, March 27 – five weeks prior to the Kentucky Derby. The significant changes to its signature race and accompanying races, as well as the addition of two new dirt races for fillies and mares, highlight a record $7.24 million, 66-race stakes schedule for the 2009-2010 Fair Grounds meet. The 85-day Fair Grounds meet will have its earliest start date ever when the historic New Orleans racetrack opens on Friday, Nov. 6, a week earlier than last year and well ahead of the old Thanksgiving Day opener of years past. Closing day for the action-packed 21-week season will be Sunday, March 28. In recent years, the Louisiana Derby, which produced Kentucky Derby winners Black Gold (1924) and Grindstone (1996), had been a $600,000 race over 1 1/16 miles and was carded seven weeks prior to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands. The momentous switch of the 97th Louisiana Derby to closing weekend, along with moving the Grade II, $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks to headline a stakes quartet for fillies and mares on Friday, March 26, has altered both series of races.

  • Jack Mansour's 2014 Kentucky Derby Picks
    By Jack Mansour Below are my thoughts about the 140th Run For The Roses. The will be a sentimental choice of many due to his name. His Bostonian tradition of writing this article continues. Whether you’re in the owners named him to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon industry or a casual fan whose only brush with the sport of kings is an bombing although they weren’t able to get their first choice of annual Derby party, this is written for you. The goal is to convert new names… BOSTON STRONG. WICKED has to overcome his outside post fans to the sport one Derby at a time while including enough detail but will be flying in the stretch and could roll by everyone just as he and insight for the semi-serious handicapper. Here’s my standard did in the Wood Memorial. Although these three horses seem to be disclaimer… this analysis is FREE and you get what you pay for. Big better than the rest of the field, there are many horses within spitting Caveat: this analysis is way overdue to be completely wrong (the distance that can leap over these three with some improvement and “Jack’s Picks” section below has included the winner 5 of the last 6 a little racing luck. Any horse in this field has a chance, so don’t let years including the last 4 in a row), so follow this at your own peril… me or anyone else talk you off a horse. Here’s a look at the field by running style… The discussion of this year’s Kentucky Derby needs to begin with CALIFORNIA CHROME, who appears to be head and shoulders Pace Scenario: A lot has been written about how fast the above the field.

  • Will Justify Win the Triple Crown?
    Will there be a Triple Crown Winner this year? Mike E. Smith on Justify, Kentucky Derby On May 5, Justify won the Kentucky Derby. There are 2 more thoroughbred horse races that he has to enter and win in order to win the Triple Crown of thoroughbred Racing ... the Preakness and the Belmont. Can he do it? What are his chances? The three races that make up the Triple Crown are the (1) Kentucky Derby, the (2) Preakness Stakes, and the (3) Belmont Stakes. Kentucky Derby races began in 1875; Preakness races began in 1870; and the Belmont began in 1867. But in all of those years since these races began only 12 horses have won all three.

Sir Barton won. 1. How many years have elapsed between 1919 and now? There are different ways to look at what might be the most usual gap between winners. We could figure out the gap that occurs most often (mode); or what the mean number of years of a gap is; or what is the most central measurement (median) of the various gaps.

  • Preakness Analysis
    PREAKNESS ANALYSIS By Jerry Brown When we analyzed the Derby a couple of weeks ago, we pointed out that in recent years only two or three horses per year were running tops on the first Saturday in May. Sure enough, although three of the first four finishers equaled their previous top, only two ran new tops. While two of the three fastest horses in the Preakness come out of the Derby, this race has a decidedly different flavor, from a sheets handicapping point-of-view several of the slower horses have a chance to run new tops. CHEROKEE’S BOY got very good last fall, banging out a series of very good numbers. It looks like his connections were intent on making hay while the sun shines with this precocious colt, racing him 11 times since last September without a real break, which may be why he hasn’t broken through. Still, he has held up very well, and two of his last three are lifetime tops. He goes into this race a couple of points too slow to be a serious contender, but since he has only developed one point from his 2yr-old top a new top may be coming, and with four weeks rest it could happen now. Unlikely winner, but has a chance for a check. Since 1998, Capuano has had 133 starts with spring (March 1 to June 30) 3-yr olds. Only 23% have run a new top, with another 13% pairing up previous tops—both the new top and combined percentage are the lowest of any trainer in this race.
