By Jarrod Horak We saw the biggest shocker yet on the road to Kentucky Oaks 2023. That stunning result was in the Davona Dale at Gulfstream Park on March 4. Dorth Vader pressed the pace and kicked clear to score as a 46-1 outsider. She is probably not a top Oaks contender but that sure […]
Six year old gelding for Peter Miller, off since last July at Del Mar, tried the hill in the Sensational Stars stakes on Sunday for older Cal breds. Off at 8/1 in a field of just five, he was last coming down the hill, six back of the leaders. J.J. had a decision to make […]
Comebacker made his sprint debut today and this may have been a prep. While he was away slowly, he was rushed up to settle behind the leaders up the backstretch and moved to the outside as then entered the turn. The soph couldn’t keep up with the two leaders in the stretch, but he did […]
Looked like a green 2-year-old up the backstretch with his head held up high while dropping back to near the back around the turn under the whip. However, he was steered to the outside entering the stretch and rallied well to finish 2nd behind a runaway winner. The gelding must not like the kickback and […]
Not a bad effort for the comebacker as her and the rest of the field was no match for up-and-comer Grannys Connection. This filly chased the winner entering the stretch and was run down late for the second spot. Still, she can move forward with recency and against what may be a softer group for […]
Three year old filly for Bob Baffert made her debut on Saturday in a maiden special weight affair at six and a half on the main. Off at 9/2 in a field of 7, she made the running right from the get go and dueled for the early lead through fractions of 22.04 and 44.96 […]
This win machine from the softer circuits didn’t embarrass herself in this Stakes event as she sat behind the four horse duel up the backstretch. She was behind a wall of runners entering the stretch, but did find clear sailing soon after and rallied on the slower outside. The filly does have a tendency to […]
A gelding who was awful in his last two starts may have been the winner in this affair if not for a wide-throughout trip over a track that favored the inside. He did show his usual early speed as a four horse duel developed as they left the chute and he was in the five-path […]
Second-timer didn’t break fast, but did get away cleanly and found herself behind the two leaders while on the rail as they left the chute. The filly wanted to go, but she was wrangled back by her jock up the backstretch and was alone around the turn behind three runners who were well clear. She […]
A late-runner who was caught wide up the backstretch and in the stretch, she made a nice rally while widest of the top five finishers and she was able to get up for 3rd. The soph seems to be improving and maybe she will enjoy the route game. Next Upcoming Race: My Angel’s […]
