| Kip Deville |
It's a long way from Oklahoma to Hong Kong, the destination Monday for Kip Deville. The 2007 Breeders' Cup Mile winner, Kip Deville will be heading halfway around the world to compete in the Hong King Mile on Dec. 14. This is the latest challenge for the gray 5-year-old, who has far exceeded his humble Oklahoma roots. The biggest adjustment will be racing "the wrong way," running clockwise in Hong Kong.
A 2-year-old colt named Indygo Mountain ran off to a huge triumph in a maiden race Wednesday at Churchill Downs, stirring up memories of owner Clarence Scharbauer Jr's first great horse, Alysheba.
Horsemen's groups and a company representing two large account-wagering platforms have made progress on a potential deal designed to break several deadlocks over the rights to signals, but a deal is still not imminent.
Richard Rosales ducked out of Hollywood Park at 7:15 a.m. on Thursday morning. For most people, the start of the workday was still an hour or two away. Rosales was already between jobs.
The Meadowlands Racetrack will run a longer meet next season, the only major change in the 2009 Thoroughbred racing dates approved by the New Jersey Racing Commission.
Twenty-nine horses have been reported killed in another barn fire at Riverside Downs, a Thoroughbred training facility in western Kentucky. The fire was the fourth in five years at Riverside, located just a few miles from Ellis Park in northern Henderson County, Ky.
The Discovery Handicap on Saturday at Aqueduct is a late-season opportunity for 3-year-olds to score a graded stakes victory within their own division before turning 4, less than six weeks from now.
Thorn Song and Canela have run some phenomenal races this fall, albeit in different leagues. Thorn Song won the Grade 1 Shadwell Mile in October, while Canela recently won an allowance race to move his record on the Churchill Downs turf course to 4 for 4.
