What does “cross the reins” and “run down” mean with regard to horse racing?

I’m familiar with many equine terms, but while reading the coverage about Big Brown, these terms have come up. What exactly does a jockey do when he/she “crosses the reins”? It’s apparently a signal for the horse to run, but what are the mechanics of the action?

Big Brown “ran down” in the Preakness. Is that regarded as a fault, or is it commonplace? Is it an indicator of a conformation defect ? The only definition I could find said that it meant weak pasterns.

WHEN YOU RIDE
YOU HAVE YOUR REINS CROSSED NO ITS NOT A SIGNAL TO RUN ITS THE WAY WE HOLD THE REINS
Run downs are a bandage that help s the horse if if run’s down on his back or front pasterns
we use a cut out type of soft cloth that sticks to the leg and then wrap with a very light and short bandage
He does NOT HAVE TO BE WEAK THERE
HE MIGHT JUST RUN DOWN A BIT BECAUSE OF THE SURFACE OF THE TRACK
A horse like him that does run HARD might need them
again not all means he has a problem O.K.

Any value plays out there for the Belmont Stakes? Reasoning?

FOR EXAMPLE . . . Anak Nakal – trained by Nick Zito, who also trained the 2004 Belmont underdog, Birdstone. Birdstone posted an 85 Beyer figure in the 04 Derby, finishing eighth. Zito kept him out of the Preakness, gave him some rest, and he went on to put up an impressive Beyer of 101 at Belmont in June. Anaks Nakal’s Beyers look similar to Birdstone’s not to mention his father, the great Belmont winner, Victory Gallop. . . I dunno, everyone seems to be writing this horse off, but he was bred for distance, and Zito has made some smart moves with this horse. Let me know what ya think of my strategy, and give me some of your own. I wanna good trifecta, or a nicely valued show horse, but everyone and their brother is gonna bet on Big Brown, Casino Drive, and Denis of Cork, respectively. No one makes serious money on the chalks. Thanks in advance racing fans!

I like your reasoning for Anak Nakal. I wrote him off because the longest distance he won at is 8.5 furlongs but I checked and Birdstone’s longest win was 8.5 furlongs before the Belmont too. Don’t forget Anak Nakal has won at Belmont Park and so had Birdstone.

I’ll probably play Tale of Ekati too. Same reasoning as Anak Nakal, he has good breeding, he’s rested, he’s won at Belmont and his trainer. I’m using Icabad Crane in exotics because he’s never finished worse than third, he has a good jockey and he has good breeding for the race. I’m playing Icabad to show too.

I’m playing one trifecta box without Big Brown or Casino Drive just in case. One or the other will most likely win, but if something goes wrong and they end up in back…

Question! Did you know about the Kentucky horse breeder, can you tell me any more about this man ?

This Kentucky horse breeder had a filly that won every race in which she was entered. But as she got older she became very temperamental. He soon found that when he raced her in the evening, she would win handily, but when she raced during the day she would come in dead last. He consulted the top veterinarians and horse psychologists to no avail. He finally had to give up because it had become a real night mare.

hehehehe very good suzie

Who wins the $400K Grade 2 Clark Handicap Friday at Churchill Downs?

http://www.drf.com/static/entries/27/eCD27.html?rn=578359#11

Wow! What a solid field/Great Dirt Race..Einstein (one of the favorites, and to mention one of my favorites) with Jockey R. Maragh and Trainer Helen Pitt won last year, but having the 14 post? questionable?

Definitely in my picks is Misremembered with Jockey Espinoza and Trainer Bob Baffert, this 3 year old has early speed and is improving.

Also, like Etched with Jocky Alan Garcia and Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin, last two starts are awesome and likes distance.

Bullsbay with Jockey J. Rose and Trainer Graham Motion is solid on dirt, and likes distance.

Finally, Macho Again (one of the favorites) with Jockey R J Albarado and Trainer Dallas Stewart is the best closer in the race, however, not much speed here and he was off 50 days.

I’m going to take a chance here, by throwing out the two favorites, Einstein and Macho Again (may live to regret it though) and, since you asked “who wins” I’m going with Etched #8 to WIN.

Horses I like, and to watch –
Etched, Misremembered, Bullsbay, Blame, Giant Oak, Macho Again, Einstein

Long – #11 Timber Reserve, Jocky K Desormeaux and Trainer John C Kimmel

Great Weekend of racing, enjoy :)

Rachel Alexandra set to arrive at Monmouth Park on Friday for the 1.25 million Haskell – how’s she training?

Or doing?

Anything else to report on the Haskell going into the race, I see the purse was raised to 1.25 mil.

Here’s some great news worth sharing ~

Yes, Rachel Alexandra, Summer Bird, and company will be running for enhanced money in the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational.

Monmouth Park added $250,000 to the Haskell on Thursday, lifting the purse to $1.25 million for the biggest event of the meet on Aug. 2.

The winner’s share will be $700,000. Second is worth $250,000; third, $125,000; fourth, $85,000; and fifth, $50,000. All other runners get $20,000.

The added money gives Monmouth officials a marketing tool in the effort to lure leading 3-year-olds to the Haskell, which faces intense competition that weekend. On Saturday, Mountaineer Park presents the $750,000 West Virginia Derby while Saratoga has the $500,000 Jim Dandy.

“We’re doing our best to attract the stars, and this makes the race even more attractive,” said Bob Kulina, Monmouth’s vice president and general manager. “Not only do we reward the winner with more money, we make it more attractive for all participants.”

The enhanced stakes money will come from funds set aside for the stakes program here and at the Meadowlands Racetrack. With no cuts planned at Monmouth, the fall stakes at the Meadowlands face purse reductions.

“We’re dealing with money that has been allocated for stakes,” Kulina said. “Our excellent relationship with the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association gives us the latitude to shift the funds.”

The sensational filly Rachel Alexandra, looking to again conquer the colts as she did in the Preakness, heads a Haskell lineup that is expected to include Summer Bird, Munnings, Papa Clem, and Bunker Hill. Duke of Mischief is possible.

Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird has already been here several weeks preparing for the Haskell. He is slated to school in the paddock Friday with the field for the third race.

Papa Clem moved closer to the Haskell starting gate Thursday when trainer Gary Stute upgraded the likelihood he will run to “95 percent.”

The Arkansas Derby winner, Papa Clem ran in Monmouth’s Long Branch Stakes on July 11, finishing third in his first race since a sixth-place effort in the Preakness.

Stute left the colt at Monmouth as he wavered between the Haskell and the Jim Dandy. Much of the indecision was predicated on the availability of regular rider Rafael Bejarano.

That became a moot point when Bejarano was injured in a Wednesday spill at Del Mar.

“On Wednesday morning, Bejarano gave me the call for the Haskell and then he went down that afternoon,” Stute said from California. “We are still planning on running in the Haskell.”

Stute now needs a rider. The front-runners are Elvis Trujillo, Monmouth’s leading rider who pinch-hit for Bejarano in the Long Branch, and Tyler Baze, the rider for Papa Clem’s first two races.

Duke of Mischief remains on the Haskell fence with the Jim Dandy the other option.

“We’re kind of teetering in the middle right now,” trainer David Fawkes said from Florida.

Fawkes will make the decision on the Iowa Derby winner following his next breeze on Saturday at Calder.

Bunker Hill had his final Haskell breeze Thursday at Monmouth. Trainer Derek Ryan had initially set the work for Saturday, but moved it up with rain in the forecast the next several days.

Bunker Hill was certainly ready, turning in the bullet work for five furlongs: 59.40 seconds in the blinkers he will don for the first time in the Haskell.

“He’s been working gangbusters with the blinkers on,” Ryan said. “But if the filly runs her race, we’re all running for second money, anyway.”

That’s not a bad prize, with the enhanced purse.
