  • 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.

    Agenda Item #2 Agenda Item #3 For Immediate Release Contact: Tammy Knox [email protected] RECAP OF 2014 RACING SEASON AT INDIANA GRAND RACING & CASINO SHELBYVILLE, Ind.; – Dec. 29, 2014 – Below is a list of the top five racing stories, quotes and a timeline prepared by the race marketing department at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino. The 120-day racing season was conducted from Tuesday, May 6 through Saturday, Nov. 1. TOP FIVE STORIES 1. Jockey killed in racing incident Apprentice rider Juan Saez died from injuries sustained in a racing incident in the eighth race at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino Tuesday, Oct. 14. Following an investigation by Indiana Horse Racing Commission Stewards, it was determined that Saez, 17, fell after his horse, Montezuma Express, clipped heels with the horse in front of him. A trailing horse, Masaru, ridden by Ricardo Santana, Jr., was unable to avoid the fallen horse and rider, and also fell. Saez was airlifted to Methodist Hospital in critical condition and passed away from his injuries later in the evening. A native of Panama, Saez was honored in a special memorial service before racing resumed Thursday, Oct. 16. No racing was held on Wednesday, Oct. 15. The jockey colony at Indiana Grand accepted the leading apprentice award for Saez at the conclusion of the meet. Jockey colonies around the nation held moments of silence and special ceremonies in honor of Saez. In addition, jockeys competing in the 2014 Breeders’ Cup also wore special ribbons in memory of the rider. 2. East Hall wins Indiana Derby Late in the stretch, East Hall and Luis Saez had the most momentum to roll by Vicar’s in Trouble and Rosie Napravnik on the outside and secure the victory by one length in the 20th running of the Grade II $500,000-added Indiana Derby.
