Del Mar jockey race
I am surprised. I was fairly certain that Martin Garcia would win the Del Mar riding title, but it looks like the talented Victor Espinoza is going to prove me wrong by backing up his Hollywood Park title with one … Continue reading
Amazing seventh race on Sunday
If you haven’t already seen Sunday’s seventh race at Del Mar, when Phar to Win almost got carried up into the clubhouse terrace restaurant on the first turn, you need to check it out on TVG replays or, better yet, … Continue reading
Some horses for today
Take a look at these horses running today at Del Mar. I think they have a big shot.

Trainer Murray Johnson’s rip job on Del Mar officials and fellow trainer Doug O’Neill following Sunday’s Pacific Classic was out of line. But give the veteran trainer credit. He apologized the following day and also called O’Neill to offer a … Continue reading
Kornier making self at home
Doug O’Neill may be atop the trainer standings, but former NoCal mainstay Brian Kornier is showing the folks here in SoCal that he knows how to train.
Where does Lava Man rank?
Now that Lava Man has proved he’s as adept at winning Grade I races on both dirt and the grass like the great John Henry, where does he rank in terms of all-time great horses we’ve seen here in California?
