Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands winner Super Saver drew post 8 and was installed as the 5-2 morning-line favorite for the May 15 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico. A field of 12 was drawn for the second leg of the Triple Crown.

WinStar Farm’s homebred Super Saver will attempt to become the fifth horse in the last 11 years to win both the Derby and the Preakness. Big Brown wa

Unrivaled Belle stuck a nose in front of Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra just before the wire to complete a stirring stretch duel to score the $400,000 La Troienne Stakes in front of a disappointed crowd at Churchill Downs April 30.

Lentenor, a full brother to ill-fated 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, broke his maiden impressively on the turf Jan. 20 at Gulfstream Park.

Steve Kenly, who co-owns 9-year-old Lava Man with his father and sister, Dave and Tracy, and Jason Wood, said it was a tough dec

It seems impossible to think that a little more than four months ago Kip Deville, the 2007 Breeders’ Cup Mile victor and four-time grade I winner, was in seemingly fine health and competing in a graded stakes race at Saratoga.

Steve Hiatt never thought he would win an award for doing the thing he enjoys more than anything else in the world–helping horses. So when the 50-year-old California native was honored with the Race Track Chaplaincy of America's White Horse Award for heroic service to the equine industry, it was understandable he was more than a little surprised.

Rachel Alexandra has already captivated the Thoroughbred racing world with breathtaking performances and record-setting wins. Today at Saratoga, the 3-year-old filly will seek history when trying to become the first female to win the Woodward Stakes (gr.
