Since breaking his maiden at seven furlongs by three- quarters of a length over next-out winner Ma- haamel in April at Bel- mont Park, First Captain scored once more against first condition allowance runners five weeks later over Big Sandy going a one-turn mile. Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey entered First Captain for his first Shug McGaughey/COGLIANESE PHOTO stakes test last out in the Grade 3 Dwyer on July 5 at Belmont Park, and he handled the class boost with flying colors, capturing the one-turn mile by a length- and-three-quarters. “He is doing really well up here,” McGaughey said. “He lost his whole 2-year-old year so he’s still behind, but he’s trying to catch up. I think that his last race was good and he certainly likes this track here. I’m looking forward to it. We have been taking it one step at a time.” First Captain is owned by West Point Thoroughbreds, Siena Farm, Woodford Racing and celebrity culinary artist Bobby Flay, the latter of whom also bred the chestnut colt.

    THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 2020 HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL FROM UNKNOWN TO CHAMPION, STORM THE COURT READIES FOR 3YO ENCORE AT SPRINGLAND by Joe Bianca In the fall of 2016, trainer Peter Eurton saddled a big longshot in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita who rode a game upset to an improbable divisional championship. Three years later, he did the same thing, this time with an unheralded colt in the Juvenile, whose shocking and resolute victory propelled him to an unforeseeable Eclipse Award of his own. Eurton hopes the comparisons end there, however, as his Storm the Court (Court Vision) prepares to get his sophomore season underway while adding the weight of expectation next Sunday in the GII San Vicente S. It was Champagne Room--campaigned in part by Ryan Exline and Justin Border=s Exline-Border Racing just like Storm the Court--who toppled the Juvenile Fillies at 33-1 in 2016 to earn her statuette.

    HOW WE GOT HERE I Imagine If You Are Reading This, We Share Something in Common--The Love of Horses and Horse Racing

    FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 2019 TAKING STOCK: OP/ED: NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE by Boyd Browning HOW WE GOT HERE I imagine if you are reading this, we share something in common--the love of horses and horse racing. Like me, you may even make your living and provide for family by working in this industry. When I get the TDN Alerts at night that another important governing body is calling for an end to racing or to shut down the track, I feel sick to my stomach and can't sleep. And then I get up in the morning and read/listen to the finger pointing and infighting within the industry. The "blame game" must stop immediately and we can either work together to make smart decisions that reflect the world we live in and survive, or we can continue to fight with one another about who's right and who's wrong. We must recognize and embrace meaningful change to protect and care for the horse. Cont. p3 IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Is the future of the American dirt horse at a crossroads? | Coady CUNNINGHAM–A REBEL IN THE RANKS Alayna Cullen chats with Rebel Racing’s Phil Cunningham about new stallion Rajasinghe (GB) (Choisir {Aus}). Click or tap by Sid Fernando here to go straight to TDN Europe. The American dirt horse is tough, strong, and fast. He's an athlete. He's a combination of speed and stamina, bred to race on an unforgivingly hard surface, bred to race at two, bred to break quickly from the gate, bred to run hard early, bred to withstand pressure late.
