Dale Romans and Allen Jerkens discuss training a horse to go 1 1/2 miles [03:15]
Trainer Dale Romans, who is preparing Dullahan for the 2012 Belmont Stakes, sat down with Hall of Fame trainer H. Allen Jerkens to discuss what it takes to have a horse prepared for a 1 1/2-mile race. While Jerkens has never won the Belmont Stakes, he has won many major races at 1 1/2 miles or longer, including the two-mile Jockey Club Gold Cup with Prove Out in 1973 and Group Plan in 1975, the 1 1/2-mile Man o' War with Beau Purple (defeating Kelso) over soft turf in 1962, and the 1 1/2-mile Woodward with Prove Out (defeating Secretariat) in 1973.

Frankel::The World's Greatest Racehorse Returns [01:43]
I OWN NOTHING BUT THE EDITING. *EDIT* Simply superb. Frankel is magic. 10 from 10. Just the greatest. No flat horse has ever got me this excited. Can't wait to see where he goes next! In one week, the highest rated racehorse (or is he joint with BC? whatever, in my eyes Frankel is superior to Black Caviar, controversial I know-dont eat me!) in the world returns in the Lochinge Stakes at Newbury. I for one cannot wait and hopefully he will smash up his rivals once again. There's a couple if glitches in the video, SV wouldn't play it back properly but hopefully they're not too major. Does everyone else think Frankel will be better this season? Anyway, enjoy the video, it's nothing special but I couldn't resist making it as a tribute to the returning superstar ^^ (Now back to revising, exams start on tuesday!)

CITATION [40:48]
Citation (April 11, 1945--August 8, 1970) was the eighth American Triple Crown winner, and one of three major North American Thoroughbreds (along with Cigar and Zenyatta) to win at least 16 consecutive races in major stakes race competition. He was the first horse in history to win one million dollars. Owned and bred by Calumet Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, Citation was a bay colt by Bull Lea from the imported mare Hydroplane (GB), who was by the leading sire Hyperion. en.wikipedia.org

Northerly - tribute video [01:20]
A tribute video dedicated to Northerly, arguably the best Australian middle-distance thoroughbred horse of the early 2000s, from Western Australia. This video was created after his induction into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2010. Nicknamed "The Fighting Tiger", his major wins included the two Cox Plates, two Underwood Stakes and a Caulfield Cup. Northerly sadly passed away on 9 May 2012, euthanised after an attack of colic. He was 16 years old.
