Watchmaker reviews Preakness and other weekend races
"Classic Empire ran a winning race in defeat"
Shaman Ghost continues his winning ways
SHAMAN GHOST prevails in Pimlico Special - race replay
Watchmaker:  "Pimlico Special still has a name that carries some weight, and with a game victory in Friday’s renewal, Shaman Ghost added that name to a career résumé that’s really quite astounding. Think about some of the races Shaman Ghost has won. He took the Queen’s Plate, the Brooklyn, the Woodward, the Santa Anita Handicap, and now the Pimlico Special, and he’s not done yet. Shaman Ghost isn’t a Hall of Famer. He’s a good, hard-knocking handicap horse who should only engender admiration. But there are some horses in the Hall of Fame who do not have the CV he does."

YOSHIDA in James W. Murphy- Replay and result   XBTV Race Replay and Commentary by Jeff Siegel    TDN Result/write-up and replay  Yoshida trains on dirt by Bill Mott, but this was a turf race, opening the discussion could he compete in the Belmont Stakes.
Watchmaker:  "Count me among the many impressed with Yoshida’s dominating win in Saturday’s James W. Murphy Stakes. Yes, Yoshida had a good setup with an unsustainably fast early pace. But let’s not forget that Yoshida got his maiden win last time out in his first start this year (and only second career start) on the front end. So, that he came from way out if it Saturday with the flourish that he did, even if set up pace-wise, speaks to his quality."
Sunday Silence, Yoshida's grandsire, would be proud!
