Patience paying off for Weaver with Vekinda
Belmont Park
Patience paying off for Weaver with Vekinda
George Weaver trains, owns - and for good measure - is the breeder of Vekinda. On Sept. 6, off a more than 16-month layoff, Vekinda rewarded Weaver’s patience with a professional-looking first-level New York-bred allowance win at Saratoga. Thursday,...
Assiniboia Downs
Focus on Not So Swift in closing-night Jackpot Pick 5 at Assiniboia
The 20-cent minimum Jackpot Pick 5 begins in the fourth race on closing night of the meet on Wednesday in a six-furlong event for $3,000 claimers. It can be pared down to the two droppers from $7,500 in the six-horse field — Not So Swift and Blue Spi...
Woodbine
Casse holding strong hand with pair in Woodbine allowance
Trainer Mark Casse looks locked and loaded in Thursday’s Woodbine feature with Bessie Abott and Shotgun Wedding, who could vie for favoritism in the seven-furlong conditioned allowance/optional claimer for fillies and mares.
Belmont Park
Derby preps, Suburban among stakes moved to Belmont synthetic track
The Red Smith and Suburban, longtime stakes on this circuit previously run on turf and dirt, respectively, will join traditional 3-year-old stakes the Withers and Gotham as races that will be conducted on the new Tapeta track at the 2026-27 Belmont P...
Breeders' Cup Classic: Might not be best to sleep on Magnitude
Magnitude was the toast of the racing world for most of the year until one bad race this summer at Saratoga. Now, having not run since his sixth-place finish behind Sovereignty in the Grade 1 Whitney on Aug. 8, the buzz around Magnitude has faded som...
Breeders' Cup: Walden-trained runners look like contenders in Mile, Turf
Over the course of 48 hours last week, trainer Will Walden won the Grade 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic on Oct. 1 at Belmont and the Grade 1 Coolmore Turf Mile two days later at Keeneland. That's a major accomplishment for a trainer who only turns 35 on O...
Breeders' Cup Sprint: Nakatomi's record at Keeneland makes him a player
It's called home-field advantage throughout the sporting world, although it is more commonly referred to as horses for courses in racing vernacular. It's a phenomenon that could become relevant on Breeders' Cup Saturday in light of the results from a...
Breeders' Cup Juvenile: Once again, it's likely to come up Baffert or Pletcher
In 2022, the last the time Breeders' Cup was held at Keeneland, the $2 million Juvenile featured a heavily favored undefeated Grade 1 winner trained by Bob Baffert who was upset by a Todd Pletcher trainee coming off a hard-fought victory in the Grade...

Breeders' Cup Distaff: Field thins as Nitrogen, Full Subscribed emerge as standouts

Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies: Emphatic punches her ticket with upset
The potential field for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies came into much clearer focus last weekend, even if the results from three major preps might have raised more questions than answers.
Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint: Bacio will get first shot on home course
In six career starts, the 3-year-old turf star Bacio has run at six different tracks on two continents, winning five races. The jet-setting colt handled this rigorous travel remarkably well, but in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Keeneland, he will...
