Hepcat Wins at Belmont
Hepcat, a three-year-old son of Tale of the Cat, broke his maiden in impressive fashion Friday afternoon at Belmont Park - leading from gate to wire and winning by three lengths. Ridden by Cornelio Velasquez, Hepcat broke alertly and gained control of the field, leading by six down the stretch! He easily held on for the win and what a beautiful victory it was.
Hepcat is trained by Mark Hennig.
Blackberry Road finished fifth in the Grade 3 Crown Royal American Turf Stakes Friday at Churchill Downs. The colt will run back at Churchill Downs on May 23 in a mile and an eighth allowance race. Julien Leparoux will ride.
On Friday at Belmont Park Slambino (Grand Slam) runs in the 7th race.

There's a new podcast up on Cot's View - called The Arab Dilemma. Here's a taste of what he writes/speaks about:
"... their widespread, full-out drive now to dominate every aspect of the business is making me (and others in the game) slightly uneasy. The latest is that that Sheikh Mo seems to be strongly connected to the purchase of Fasig-Tipton Company, an old-line, tradition-laden Thoroughbred auction house. Does this not seem strange? Are there not numerous pockets of conflict of interest in such an alliance?"
Ask Cot is a new feature on our website and our hope is that not only our Dogwood partners - but industry insiders and racing fans - will use this page to "Ask Cot" questions. For example, how did Mr. Campbell come up with the idea of Dogwood's green and yellow silks? How much does it cost to enter a horse a horse in the Kentucky Derby? Check out these answers and more on Ask Cot... and then ask your own!
