 Phil Gardner - Horse d'Oeuvres   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Horse racing may be the sport of kings, but in my experience the more commonly held view is that lovers of racing are likely to be found not in royal palaces, but rather lurking in the corners of smoke-filled betting shops, gambling away the mortgage money on lost causes.
Expressing a passion for horse racing is more often than not greeted with concern that you're only a short step away from Gamblers Anonymous, and a life of poverty on the streets with a can of Special Brew in each hand.

 Victorian London - Publications - Social Investigation/Journalism - The Wilds of London, by James Greenwood, 1874 - The ...
A well-bred horse makes the most unfortunate of old horses, for his hide will bear as much "doing up" and polishing and dressing as a poor old lady's satin gown, and until its fiery blood chills in death, a goad or the lash of a whip will rouse it instantly.
This is the sort of horse that is always "as good as coin," as Jack's friend expresses it, as he pauses before it, and as I was glad to see, doing homage to a more respectable animal than himself by abstaining from giving it a cut.
It is not a horse market that is held every Friday at Copenhagen Fields; it is but a "marine store market," and it would be only fitting if on that day the emblematic heads of bulls and calves were taken down from the gate, an d fl dolls hung in their place.

 Dominant Classicity - Measuring class in the thoroughbred population.
Although it is true that not all good horses exhibit dominant classicity in their dosage profiles, it is certainly the case that many do.
Whilst the horse had fitted into a similar pattern of many of O'Brien's three year old improvers, he was also one of the few runners in the field to boast a dosage profile containing Dominant Classicity.
The horse has demonstrated versatility and tougness throughout the season, winning over 5, 6 and 7 furlongs - on the day, he showed that he also has a touch of class.

"This horse is off to be a stallion very shortly, so whatever we do will be done with that in mind," Michael Bell, his trainer, said.
Motivator was there to be caught, and closing behind him was a brilliant jockey with the right horse to do it.

 Breeders' Cup 2003 - Santa Anita Park - Daily Racing Form - Horse Racing
With so much talk of all the horses who will not be at this year's Breeders' Cup (Mineshaft, Empire Maker, Candy Ride, Azeri, and too many 2-year-olds to mention), it's easy to overlook the quality of the horses who will be running on Saturday.
Islington has returned to her best form with a win in the Yorkshire Oaks-G1, and a third behind High Chaparral and Falbrav in the Irish Champion Stakes-G1, and will be very tough to beat with a decent trip.

 The Horse Flies
The Horse Flies not only do that but have made a record that you'll keep coming back to, finding new ways to be astonished.
The Horse Flies' version of the Cramps' "Human Fly" sounds like nothing Lux and Ivy dreamed of, even after their heaviest Russ Meyer all-nighter-- you wouldn't even guess what the song is until after a good four minutes of African percussion, drunken fiddles and sequencers a-clatter.
The Horse Flies provide a quirky and compelling slant to "new wave folk." They have taken a few traditional folk tunes and created their own offbeat lyrics for them, or alternatively, have applied colourful new arrangements to well-known folk ballads.

Without reigning Horse of the Year Azeri, whose win streak was recently snapped, this is both a less interesting as well as less competitive race.
Peace Rules is a closer, a horse that got stronger seemingly as the race progressed towards the wire, and perhaps coming down off of the route distances to a less taxing mile might be a good way to get Peace Rules on the tote board.
I like Islington as well, as she's referred to as "Europe's top middle-distance filly." Here's my bet that in the Euro-heavy turf races such as these that a Euro horse will be the short price at the windows.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. — Trainer Laura de Seroux thinks her filly Azeri can emerge as Horse of the Year, and that may not be a reach.
If Azeri puts away her rivals in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Distaff on Saturday and extends her winning streak to seven races — and if the $4 million Classic produces a surprise — the argument can certainly be made for Azeri to be the best of the best.
"Horse of the Year implies who has performed the best all year, not the horse of one race," she says.
