Alan Balch - Whither the Breeders’ Cup?
A year ago in this issue, I undertook to describe the state of North American racing in the years leading up to the inaugural Breeders’ Cup in 1984, as well as its true genesis.
But what about its evolution since then, and its future?

My Best Brother continues the Currin tradition of success
BILL Currin is feeling a lot of brotherly love these days. Currin, a veteran owner and breeder and former trainer, is still tingling with emotion over a victory by My Best Brother in the $300,000 Del Mar Derby (G2) in September.
The views of William Koester
I am honored to have the opportunity to speak on a subject that is important to me as a life-long enthusiast of Thoroughbreds and racing. I previously chaired the Association of Racing Commissioners International (RCI), but the opinions and ideas expressed in this article are mine alone and do not necessarily represent either the RCI or the members themselves.

TRM Trainer of the Quarter - Gennadi Dorochenko
The only person not shocked by Hero of Order’s half-length victory at odds of 109-1 in the $1-million Grade 2 Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds on April 1 was the man who trains and owns him, Gennadi Dorochenko. “I know this horse can get around the distance,” Dorochenko said nine days later. “The jockey did exactly what I tell him. When he gets the lead in the stretch, 99 percent I knew he was going to win.”

Alan Balch - Racing imperilled?
Oh, no,” I can hear you saying to yourself, “not another essay about impending doom.”
But if you have anything to do with racing, any kind of even passing interest in it, you would have to be living under a rock not to have been aware of and thought about the relentless attack on it we’re seeing in national media, led by The New York Times, whose editorial writers condemned it as “this disreputable sport.”
