When Ghostzapper retired to stud at Adena Springs in 2006 there was never any question that he would be well patronized by breeders even at a $200,000 fee that proved unsustainable, since his nine wins in 11 starts included the 2004 Breeders’ Cup Classic, which earned him Horse of the Year honors.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Maximus Mischief passed the audition.

Dominant in two sprints at his home base at Parx Racing, Maximus Mischief stepped up in company, stretched out in distance and handled both with aplomb, recording a 2 1/4-length victory in Saturday’s Grade 2, $250,000 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The mutuel field, the 24th or “all others” option, closed as usual as a decisive favorite in Pool 1 of the 2019 Kentucky Derby Future Wager, which closed Sunday at 6 p.m. Eastern after a four-day wagering window.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Time to raise a glass, or a mutuel ticket, to the Kentucky Derby Future Wager, which is now under way through Sunday and is in its 21st consecutive year. This parimutuel wager, of which Pool 1 of four opened on Thursday, is as much about bragging rights as it is about profits – a chance for horseplayers to state their opinions early and be validated if proven right.
