"In the last months, enforcement action was taken both at Penn National and at Parx," Chuckas told commissioners at the June 29 PHRC meeting during his monthly briefing. AThat enforcement action consisted ofYvehicle searches, barn searches, vet trailer searches. In addition, we did out-of-competition testing both at Penn National and at Parx, and the preliminary results from these investigative enforcement actions is very, very minor infractions.

AThings didn=t really go to plan at Ascot, but they have done a fantastic job at home with her,@ Murphy said of the winner, another to set a track record on a day of them.

In addition, on Friday afternoon, I will be posting my detailed Graded Analysis for all of the horses in the Derby, analyzing every horse’s chances. If you wish to buy the detailed, complete Kentucky Derby analysis, including the pros and cons of all starters, please go to “Today’s Full Racing Card” and transmit $10 to my PayPal account. I will then forward the full Kentucky Derby analysis to you by electronic mail. Thank you… _____________________________________________________ SANTA ANITA (THE GREAT RACE PLACE) Friday, May 5, 2017 FOR AMUSEMENT---AND NOT BEMUSEMENT---ONLY!!! (Of course, these are recommendations only, and there are no guarantees in this sport, but that is what generates its mystique. And so, please follow your own heart and mind, considering me as a mere advisor, when making your selections. In any event, I do wish you all the best in your quest to “predict the future,” because it ain’t easy. And remember, horses, just like us, have aches and pains, headaches, suffer fatigue, etc. Try not to get mad at me, I usually have excellent days, occasionally, not-so-excellent days: with all of the informative past performance data we handicappers have in front of us, we have no idea how a particular horse feels at race time. By way of example, maybe that 50/1 colt is in a big hurry because he has a hot fillie waiting for him back at the barn…so please stick with me if there are a few “speed-bumps” along the way.) This analysis is prepared under the reasonable assumption that (i) all turf races will be run on a “firm” turf track, and (ii) all dirt races will be run on a track graded “fast.” Should different conditions exist at post time for a given race, please temper these selections with your own best judgment in light of less-than ideal conditions.

  • Graydar Oxbow
    GRAYDAR OXBOW We have enjoyed tremendous success in standing/managing stallions over the last 20 years. KRIS S. SAINT BALLADO UNBRIDLED’S SONG 2 Dear Breeder, Taylor Made is a family owned and operated farm built on honesty, long-lasting relationships and horsemanship. Taylor Made Stallions’ mode of operation has always been – and remains – to focus on standing quality stallions that provide breeders great opportunities, whether they are breeding to race or sell. 2013 was a bounce-back year for commercial breeders, including a GSVRIVXYVRMRK/IIRIPERH7ITXIQFIVWEPIXLEXWE[KEMRWEGVSWWXLIFSEVHLMKLPMKLXIHF]WIZIR½KYVI]IEVPMRKWERHFSEWXMRK the third highest average of all time.

Last year also marked a bittersweet landmark for one of the great sires of our time. While reaching 17 Grade 1 winners over his historic career in 2013, Unbridled’s Song passed away at the age of 20. Every person at Taylor Made has been touched by this amazing animal over the years. He leaves a lasting legacy that will never be forgotten across the industry he served so well. And yet there is much to look forward to in 2014. The legacy continues with our newest stallion, Graydar, the Grade 1-winning son of Unbridled’s Song. One of the most stunning physicals to come to the breeding shed in years, Graydar had a brilliant VEGIGEVIIVMRGPYHMRKEGSQQERHMRKZMGXSV]MRXLI(SRR,ERHMGET + EX+YPJWXVIEQ4EVO;IEVIGSR½HIRXLI[MPPFI a favorite among breeders as Taylor Made Stallions adds another chapter to its storied tradition.
