Blue Tail = Idiotic
I think Dr. Kendall Hansen’s heart was in the right place, but what a dopey thing to dye the horse’s tail. YES, racing needs publicity, and I am all for that. But when you start messing with horses on race day, it is downright silly. I am of the school that horses should be left [...]

Racing has no Luck
You know, you get excited when you hear a great network like HBO is doing a racing show. They rarely fail, and had a top cast headed by Dustin Hoffman and produced by David Milch. Although the show focused on the darker side of racing, still you hoped the show would succeed and the beauty [...]

Horse Racing Video Series Unlikely To Go Viral
I was reading the bloodhorse.com article, Racing Hopes to Go Viral With Video Series. Though I give the NTRA credit for trying, just because you hope something goes viral doesn’t make it happen. Most things go viral by word of mouth, organically, not engineered. Someone sees a great video, passes along to a friend, who [...]

HBO’s Luck a mixed bag
I love HBO. How can you not appreciate series like the Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Entourage, etc? So as I indicated in my previous post, I was cautiously optimistic about “Luck”. having a horse owner as the creator, to me meant a sense of realism and not the ridiculous horse movies and shows of the past.

Why HBO may succeed with Luck
As I guy involved with horse racing for over 36 years, when I hear about a new horse racing show or movie, I cringe. :: Why? :: Typically they are so unrealistic, and any horsemen can find 20 things in every movie that just don’t happen. Case in point, in almost every movie, there is [...]

Havre de Grace: Nice Mare, Worst Horse of the Year Ever?
Take nothing away from Havre de Grace, she is a very nice mare, worthy of a distaff championship. But to be horse of the year? This is an indication how weak racing was this past year. When you compare her to the other horse of the year winners, you would be hard pressed to find [...]

Volatile Stock Market Benefits Keeneland November
So I bet you are reading that title and shaking your head. Strange statement, right? Usually a strong stock market means strong numbers at the sale. More dispensable income allows people to buy luxuries, such as race horses. Although horses are an investment, few would argue the inherent risks with buying them. Well, I can [...]

Horse Racing Needs a Steve Jobs
I was so sad to learn of the death of Steve Jobs. As a web developer, I use macs every day and would not be without one. In my house there are 6 macs in use, an iPad and a few iPods. (Once Sprint has the iPhone, we will have those as well). As a [...]

Finally TVG to add HD
“There’s a way to do it better—find it.” — Thomas Edison Those of you who read my blog, know how hard I have pushed for an HD signal for TVG. ( I would wish the same for HRTV, but somehow it isn’t available in my town) When we watch the Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup [...]

Penn Situation Disgusting, But Easy To Fix
Sometimes you read something that just makes you ill. I read a story in the Bloodhorse [LINK] that did just that. A filly broke down during training and needed to be put down. Although this is sad, it is not uncommon. With all the horses training on a given day, there will be catastrophic breakdowns. [...]
