READ, WATCH, & LISTEN TO STUFF
When LoneSpeed first went live just two short months ago, the initial plan was for this website to feature a number of “smart horse racing minds”, as I said in the introduction video many of you have watched. I wanted to have four or five regular contributors. Well, when I realized how few people were…
In 2015, Coolmore won the Breeders’ Cup Turf at a racetrack in Kentucky by defeating that year’s Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe winner with a 3yo filly by Galileo who finished 9th in the Arc and then came back two weeks later to run a really good race at Ascot before getting on the plane…

We’ll keep this short. Go watch the replay of today’s (Oct 24) 6th race at Keeneland and note what happened to #10 Blossom Trail Miss in the final 1/4 mile. Or you can add her to your stable mail and just take my word for it. Suffice it so say, she had trouble more than…
With just about 24 hours until pre-entries are announced, I thought this would be a good time to go over the one horse in each BC Saturday race that my good friend Steve Decaspers might call “interesting”. An interesting horse is not necessarily one that you’ll bet on to win. It’s not even one that…
On paper, it’s not hard to make a case for Whitmore in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. He has nine wins from 13 starts at the distance- more than any other contender. He’s versatile enough to sit a stalking trip, or close from farther back. And he’s a Grade 1 winner, albeit at 7 furlongs. Promises…
When the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Classic was over, it looked like Collected was poised to be the King of the Mountain in 2018. Gun Runner was set to retire after one more race. West Coast had the look of a major force in the handicap division, but Collected had simply outrun him in the Breeders’…
Immediately after Complexity won the Champagne for Chad Brown and Klaravich Stables, I declared in front of the entire human population of Planet Earth that he would be my play in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. And after Knicks Go stole the Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland, I posted here at LoneSpeed that Derby Date was the…
We still have two weeks to go before they break from the gate on Breeders’ Cup Friday. Pre-entires will be out next week, and we’ll all get a chance to start really handicapping. But why not take a few minutes right now and rampantly, irresponsibly speculate about which longshots might end up as part of…
Well, she’s coming. Enable, the winner of the last two Prix de L’Arc de Triomphes, is set to catch a flight to America and go heavily favored in the Breeders’ Cup Turf. And there will undoubtedly be others coming from Europe for the race along with her. It’s no surprise. As I have ranted here…
It may be simply because I bet on him and lost on Sunday at Keeneland, but it appeared to me that Prolific now has two legitimate excuses for bad performances following his debut win at Belmont last fall. Let’s start with his second career start, which was last April at Keeneland. He did virtually no…
Sunday’s finale at the Lexington, Kentucky racetrack that I refuse to mention by name was more than just the last race of the day. It was the last race of the day’s huge BCBC/NHC contest as well. So there were sure to be major shifts in the leaderboard as contest players tried to gain ground…
