Apparently, Darley just purchased Everyday Heroes. After the way he bore out in the Maryland race, I wonder how longer he'll hold up.

has a little bit of info, but is pretty weak.

dunkirk's workout video is like if I took the video with a regular camcorder for the last 100 yards only.

no Miner's escape Tesio replay...

the highlight (literally not saracastic) of video info is charitable man's 5/25 workout 47.88 with a running time of 36 seconds!

treating the race and the website as a bit of an afterthought. At least that is my 1st impression.

maybe it's my video-centric opinion of a triple crown race site?

looking around more , I do notice a good article by Serling.
"Contrarian that I am, I now plan to bet against Mine That Bird with the utmost confidence, that I can guarantee. "

Forever Together looks like a single. Many will also single Justwhistledixie.

Many of the horses running in the G1 Manhattan would have been much lower odds if they chose to run instead in the G1 Charlie Whittingham (which only has a 6 horse field) at Hollywood on Saturday.

Flying Private, the closest direct link to Mr Prospector or Deputy Minister. The offspring of these sires' have a nice success ratio in this race

Flying Private to win

I appreciate your helpful criticisms, and will pass them along, but I have to take great exception to your final sentence. If you think we consider the race, or the website, as anything close to an " afterthought " you are badly mistaken. While the website may not be perfect, and surely we can and will do a better job next year, I think anyone that goes to the site can see that a lot of effort has gone into it and there is plenty of information available.

Lots of good stuff on there...Thanks for pointing the site out.
Ive never been to the perfect website, yet.

Although, DrugS tells me REDTUBE is close.

The pps are out, the Belmont is BORING. The only race here to make any serious money in is the Reserve.

The website as a whole isn't actually that bad, and your article is a highlight.
That was simply my initial impression after seeing the video section which was disappointing.
Miner's Escape in the Tesio is up on bloodhorse for those curious about the Zito pace entry.
Dunkirk and others have some photos up on horsephotos.com

wasn't actually meant as a real shot at you or nyra, just a grumpy first impression of the video section
