                        <![CDATA[SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, May 13, 2012—In the wake of Saturday’s Peter Pan Stakes, it’s like that comparisons will be made between the tactics of Right To Vote in the local prep for the Belmont and Bodemeister’s attempted heist of the Kentucky Derby. Each set an excruciating, enervating pace, and each hung on tenaciously for a game second&#45;place finish. But there was one stark difference however. Right To Vote, even though he had a Right To Lasix, didn’t race on furosemide in &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/on-the-line'>Three Belmont Trainers, Horses, Don&#8217;t Need No Stinking Lasix</a>]]>

                        <![CDATA[SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, May 8, 2012—Despite racing’s issues, the popularity of the Kentucky Derby continues to grow: To attract more than 165,000 spectators is a testimony to an event, the Derby Experience. And many of them brought money; the $12.3 million bet on&#45;track also was a new record. And gambling America loves ‘America’s Race’ card, too. All&#45;sources wagering was up a whopping 13.2 percent to $187&#45;million; heady numbers considering the game’s recent travails and an economy that’s improved but far from &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/on-the-line'>How Greed Cost CDI Stockholders&#8230;and One Oaks Day Horseplayer</a>]]>

                        <![CDATA[SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, May 6, 2012—So, how might things have gone if, say, Bodemeister had four weeks between races instead of three? Might he have lasted? Did he bounce, or simply get tired after excruciating fractions? Probably the latter, but who really knows. What is certain is that this is one free running top class animal that didn’t deserve his fate. Did Bob Baffert actually suggest to Mike Smith, that if the opportunity presented itself, to bottom out the field?

Sometime late Wednesday afternoon, post positions for Kentucky Derby 138, one of the deepest and most contentious fields assembled in the modern era will be drawn and one can look at this event in one of two ways: The timing could not &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/on-the-line'>The Fastest Two Distractions in Sports</a>]]>

                        <![CDATA[SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, April 22, 2012—I’ve been putting this off because I’m in denial—the anger stage, I think&#45;&#45;but mostly sad; a time when that knot in your stomach just won&apos;t go away. At this juncture, I’m starting to get used to losing family and friends. Check that: You never get used to it; only concede that loss is inevitable and more a part of life than it used to be, way back before you lost no one and knew everything.

Call it the New York route on the “Good Horse Circuit.” Oklahoma and, for that matter, the legendary racetrack across the street looks the same, which is to say, just great.
