The land on which Aintree Racecourse in England now stands once belonged to William Philip Molyneux, who was the second Earl of Sefton. It was Molyneux who founded the prestigious Aintree Grand National. It is said that the first race was run in 1836, with a spectacular horse by the name of The Duke winning the event for two years consecutively. Since its inception the Aintree Grand National has grown into one of the leading events in the National Hunt horse racing industry.

Turf Paradise in Phoenix, AZ has really improved lately. It’s always been a beautiful racetrack, but recently, just recently as a matter of fact, the tiny track in the desert has increased the number of horses that enter into their races dramatically.
Now, the quality of those animals is nothing to write home about. Us horseplayers…

In March 2007, Dubai unveiled its plans to build the Meydan Horse Racing Complex to the world. The project took thirty-four months to complete, and on 28 January 2010 the complex opened its doors to the public and racing community. The inaugural day kicked off with breathtaking live horse racing action.

The new year brings new hope for the future of Girl Power with the birth of almost Triple Crown winner Big Brown’s first foal. As evidenced by this past Monday’s Eclipse Awards, the 2009 Thoroughbred racing season was dominated by girls, Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta, who showed their heels to the boys in victories that cemented them as living legends. Yet the best may still be to come. And it may come sooner than the birth of Rachel Alexandra “the Great’s” daughter or Zenyatta’s first Mondatta.

Who knows what’s going to happen at Santa Anita Park on Saturday. Park officials expect to run live races on Saturday but the rains may have damaged the turf track and the Pro-Ride surface so badly that even if live races are run, owners and trainers will be hesitant to keep their horses in the races.
That’s one of the reasons that I’m turning to Gulfstream Park for my…

Thousands of horse racing enthusiasts visit their favorite tracks and watch their selected horses face-off against other worthy competitors. They marvel at the victories and are disappointed with the losses. However, many may never know how much work and dedication it has taken for a horse to reach that point. In the horse racing industry the scales are delicately balanced and can tip either way, with some horses becoming stars while others are forgotten before they have even made a name for themselves. Trainers, owners and jockeys eagerly share their stories and opinions with the media and fans. While they bask in the glory, the horses that make their careers possible stand in their stables and wait patiently till they are needed, not able to share their point-of-view.

As long as the rains keep coming down in Southern California, Santa Anita is going to be an iffy track on which to wager. The reason is simple. Small fields, and there’s nothing like a torrential downpour to ensure a small field, lead to awful payouts.
I’m all about overlays, horses that are going off at higher odds than expected, when I gamble at the racetrack.

I saw my first Holy Bull Stakes when it was called the Preview Stakes in the early 1990s. I especially remember the ’94 renewal when Go for Gin defeated Halo’s Image and ran the fastest time for 14 of the races staged at 1 1/16 miles – 1:41 3/5.
Holy Bull swallowed his palate and finished off the board.
