Horse Racing Blogs Keep Getting Better and Better

I used to read horse racing blogs for different perspectives on media accounts I had already read and for the occasional first hand personal account of racing news. Now I find more and more media stories through the blogs and lots of original content as well.

RW at Can't Wait for the Inner Track ferreted out a story on Edgar Prado's recent Espy award and how no one knew who he was.

Update: Apparently, Seth Merrow of Equidaily--the best racing news compiler around--is also alerted to news stories via the blogs, as he picked up the Prado story RW linked to above.

Kentucky Joe pointed me to a great article about the Ramseys recently.

In the inventively titled Steward's Gone Wild, Jen at Thorough-Blog pointed out a situation I've never seen nor heard of before that was not reported in the press anywhere. A race at Assiniboia had 4 horses disqualified such that the horses 3rd, 5th, 7th, & 8th to cross the wire ended up being 1st thru 4th after it went official.

The ever fabulous, and dearly missed during her recent hiatus, Susan of Post Parade gives us an original review of prairie Meadows.

Of course Alan, of Left at the Gate, the most prolific of bloggers, has so much insight oozing from his every pore that he had to launch Racing Saratoga Daily and moonlight at The Saratoga Special to accommodate it all.

I also had the pleasure of celebrating The Tin Man's Million win with Jason Sonenshein of The $2 Window.

I gotta say I feel like I get a lot more than I give to the good old Thoroughbred Bloggers Alliance. As you mentioned, most of the writing is well thought and insightful and some of the posts are hillarious or information I would not have come across anyplace else. I echo the sentiments of your post, now let's get your filly a race under her girth!
