Triple Crown Reactions

I got into horse racing way back in 2004 thanks to a plucky little chestnut horse named Smarty Jones who swept through the Kentucky Derby and Preakness with devastating ease I thought for sure even with my limited horse racing knowledge at that time that he would be racings 12th Triple Crown winner. My hopes were dashed as another plucky little colt named Birdstone swept on by him and dashed all my hopes in that final heartbreaking furlong.  The Triple Crown is part of what fueled my love for this sport at such a young age, and after Smarty Jones I spent most of my life thinking I would never have the privilege to witness a Triple Crown winner. So when American Pharoah came along I relished every hoofbeat, every race-call, and every heart stopping moment along the trail. I probably have watched his Belmont over a hundred times, and I could probably recite it word for word by now. I remember exactly where I was when he crossed that wire first I was hot walking a horse named Castlede...

Derby Six for 1/10/16

1. Brody's Cause  Giant's Causeway- Sweet Breanna by Sahm Jockey: Corey J. Lanerie Trainer: Dale L. Romans Owner: Albaugh Family Stable Career Record: Starts: 4 Firsts: 2 Seconds: 0 Thirds: 1 Earnings: $523,138 Derby Points: 14  Extremely talented individual with a ground covering stride that looks like he'll get better with age. If he handles the transition from two to three he's going to be one tough costumer this winter. His third in the Juvenile is not discouraging he simply did not have enough time to make up ground as he was really far back in the Juvenile. Has yet to work since his last effort, but that's not too concerning expect him to make a return in either the Fountain of Youth or Rebel Stakes. Last Win:  2015 Breeders Futurity Last Race:  2015 Breeders Cup Juvenile Last Race Finish:  3rd 2. Sail Ahoy  Bernardini- Matlacha Pass by Seeking The Gold Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Claude R. McGaughey III Owner: Phipps...
