HANGIN' WITH HASKIN
HEAVEN AND HELL
A behind-the-scenes look at one of the most enthralling and bizarre Triple Crowns in history. When it was over it had left a trail of conflicting emotions – both scarred and uplifting.  The master story teller, Steve Haskin, takes us inside the exciting world of Triple Crown racing. The 1999 Triple Crown was made up of an odd cast of characters, proving that racing, like politics, makes strange bedfellows. BHorse: Hangin' with Haskin - Heaven and Hell      Tribute VIDEO, Photos of Charismatic
ESPN’s impeccably researched documentary on the wild ride of Charismatic and Chris Antley, titled “Charismatic,” is scheduled to air Oct. 18 on ESPN.

Horse Profile:
Emerald Beech
From BloodHorse, Sept. 14, 2011
In the manner of the stalwarts of old, Emerald Beech has taken her time about getting good. She did not start at all at 2 and managed only a maiden win from five starts at 3; at 4, she placed twice from five more starts. If owner George Strawbridge Jr. had seen fit to retire her at that point, no one would have criticized him. Instead, patience and the wizardry of veteran trainer Jonathan Sheppard have paid off for Strawbridge's Augustin Stable, as Emerald Beech has now won four straight races this year after finishing second in her season opener.  Read more...

NEWS:
Mucho Macho Man, one of three horses who ran in all three Triple Crown races this year, worked three furlongs in 36.27 seconds Thursday morning over the Belmont training track. Mucho Macho Man finished third in the Kentucky Derby, sixth in the Preakness, and seventh in the Belmont. He had worked four times from Aug. 12-Sept. 2 before getting sick. The connections hope to get him back to the races later this year.
