Remember your high school crush? Whatever shortcomings he or she had, you were willing to look past them, because, man, they were beautiful! When it comes to horse tracks, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club is a knockout, whose scant pockmarks wash away in the Southern California surf.

It’s officially summertime and that means … it’s time to plan a road trip! So whether you are planning a family road trip, a getaway with friends, or simply a solo trek, we here at America’s Best Racing have some suggestions for you the adventurer or explorer as you consider your options for a summer 2018 road trip. 

If you attend this year’s Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) Thoroughbred Makeover from Oct. 4-7 at the Kentucky Horse Park, odds are you saw a graduate of Amy Paulus’ Paulus Racing and Performance Thoroughbreds program.

When it comes to American whiskey, our history books are filled with bourbon and rye whiskey nostalgia. Forgotten in our annals is the good old wheat whiskey.

According to an 1862 California State Agricultural Society report, wheat whiskey was the “pure article” and became so popular that 75,000 gallons was not enough to supply the state. The whiskey became highly imitated by rectifiers. In one 1860 faux wheat whiskey recipe, it mixed Rhatany root, cinnamon and sugar coloring with neutral spirit and other whiskeys.

Father’s Day is always an extra meaningful day in horse racing. For so many, myself included, it was our dads who introduced us to the sport of racing, brought us up close to the first horse we saw, or made our first bet for us. If you look around the track today, you’ll find a number of famous fathers and spectacular sires who seem to make noise all year around. We figured we’d go ahead and take a look at some of the most prominent names on that list.
