I just love deep closers, and Zenyatta made this so exciting. Plus, her name starts with Zen! Seriously, keep your eye on the Hollywood route races, as they are trending to very late energy expenditure lately.

This filly is a true champion, and I really like her look in this picture: Fierce yet calm. Read what the Seattle Times had to say: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/othersports/2012102568_horse13.html

A columnist’s answer to the Star-Ledger’s dire editorial about the state of Jersey racing. I think that with the success of this summer’s Monmouth’s meet (assuming it keeps on track) she has a few very good points. There ARE lots of slot venues right outside of New Jersey, and the addition of a casino at the Meadowlands would allow Jersey to compete.

You might find this article interesting: It’s an upbeat view of this year’s Triple Crown. One thing that struck me was not just how Black Magic: The Ultimate Handicapper Software™ (posttimedaily.com) was able to put Lookin At Lucky on top in the Derby, Super Saver on top in the Preakness (missed Drosselmeyer in the Belmont) but how it has the uncanny ability to spot a horse coming to great races. Like Summer Bird, subject of my email Rant before last year’s Belmont which Black Magic: The Ultimate Handicapper Software™ spotted as a great value bet, and Champagne d’Oro, again, subject of my pre-Belmont 2010 email Rant, who paid $81 to win. That, it seems to me, is key: Spotting the horses coming to a race, rather than those that have already run their big race.

The folks who gather early every morning in the West Wing office of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel have something new in common these days. Practically everyone has an iPad — or will have one very soon.
Emanuel just got his, as did senior adviser David Axelrod and deputy press secretary Bill Burton. Both communications director Dan Pfeiffer and press wrangler Ben Finkenbinder have one on order. Economic adviser Larry Summerstakes his to staff meetings.
The device is the hot, new White House toy, a gizmo that is popping up around Washington but seems to be particularly in vogue at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
But the big question is: What’s on your iPad? So we asked.
