It is undeniable that through two career starts, Newspaperofrecord givers the appearance that she is more than just good. More than just a top juvenile filly. She may be special. That word gets thrown around a lot, but at this early stage, she’s well on her way to earning that designation. So it’s no surprise…
Saturday’s featured race at the track in Lexington, Kentucky, which I try not to name if I don’t have to, that I am only looking at because I am in the Saturday and Sunday tournaments and I essentially have no choice but to look at the PPs, is the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge…
Brielle’s Appeal ran a terrific race on September 8th at Kentucky Downs. We featured her effort in one of our Trip Alerts here at LoneSpeed. She fought for the lead early with a hopeless longshot who ended up near the back of the pack. Brielle’s Appeal was run down late by the classy Ruby Notion…
Considering it was less than a month ago that I predicted Separationofpowers would win the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, it may not be fair or proper for me to start touting another filly. That said… What if Abel Tasman just isn’t 100% right now? And what if Monomoy Girl’s tough sophomore campaign has left her with…
Last year’s Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner, Battle of Midway, was retired to stud and then found to be less than prolific when it comes to getting the ladies pregnant. Thus, his label of being sub fertile. I had never heard that term before this year, and to be honest I hope I never hear…
I have no idea if D. Wayne Lukas will try or even be able to get Derby Date into the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile field, given he has yet to record even a single win. But if Derby Date does find himself in the BC starting gate, I think you owe it to yourself as a…
There is roughly a 93% chance that I bet on Complexity in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. And while he’d be worthy of even-money odds most years, the presence of the undefeated Game Winner from California and the hard-luck Champagne runner-up Code of Honor will likely result in a overlaid price on Chad Brown’s phenom. Let’s…
Let’s try to bounce back from that awful opening day at Keeneland with a logical horse that I think will run huge today. Race 8- The First Lady Chad Brown starts three in here, including favorites Quidura and A Raving Beauty. But it’s 6-1 Off Limits that I think is the one who comes flying…
The Breeders’ Cup Future Wager closes on Sunday night at 6pm for the Classic and at 6:30 for the Turf. As of this writing, we only have $23k in the pool for the Classic and just over $3k has been wagered on the Turf. So just about any decent-sized wager you make will have a…
There are two fillies racing at Keeneland on Friday that I really think have major chances to outrun their big morning line odds. Both are facing some tough opponents, but both are worthy of a second look when planning your wagers. Race 3 Virginia Key for Todd Pletcher looks every bit as tough as her…
It’s somewhat surprising that Crystal Ocean wasn’t supplemented to Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp given he would have undoubtedly been among the top four or five choices in the betting. He’ll go in the Champion Stakes at Ascot later in the month instead. And if all goes well there, it’s possible he’ll…
