Team D/O is going home with 3 championships at the Breeders Cup: Private Zone, Concave and Bondholder will win their races.

Trainer Doug O’Neill and brother Dennis will miss Saturday’s five Grade I stakes at Santa Anita. “We’ll be in Boston to watch our nephew, Patrick O’Neill, play for Harvard against Brown,” Dennis said. “He’s a defensive halfback. We’ve planned on this trip for a long time. Harvard’s pretty good; it should be a good game.” The brothers hope their travel connections will also allow them to see Private Zone run Saturday in the Vosburgh at Belmont Park. Martin Pedroza has the mount on the crack sprinter trained by Doug for the Good Friends Stable of former jockey and close Pedroza pal Rene Douglas.

Among the young horses trainer Doug O’Neill has plans for running at Del Mar this summer is Cardinal Strong, owned by Rick Pitino. The coach of the reigning NCAA basketball champion Louisville Cardinals is expected to visit the track around the first week in August.

why is oneill entering a 2 year old filly in the willard proctor memorial for her first race? Why wouldnt she run in the shorter field cinderella for fillys?

Northport · I don't think it is a coincidence when a trainer has horses who are with multiple owners frequently in races that they have no business being in. I am all for giving a horse a challenge, but putting them in higher level stakes when they are clearly not cut out for it just gets painful to watch · 4482 days ago
Sullivan · Sure, but I wouldn't say O' Neill does that and I really wouldn't use an unraced filly to prove my point · 4482 days ago

Having a nice January so far. A couple of big wins and a close second with Private Zone. Hope the best trainer in the biz(IMO) has another strong year.

Doug O’Neill reports that FrontRunner Stakes runner-up Know More “is doing great” as he prepares for the $2 million Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at 1 1/16 miles. “Goldenscents (second in Champagne Stakes) wasn’t nominated as a colt, so he’s not going to run,” O’Neill added. “He came out his race great so far, so we’ll just take our time. We’ve got high hopes for him down the road.” O’Neill confirmed that Gomez retains the mount on Know More and also on Awesome Again Stakes third-place finisher Richard’s Kid in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Its a shame Richard's Kid got transferred to this guy. The way Richard's Kid was sold was sickening, the horses health is not being put into consideration.

seattleslewgal345 · It's not "sickening", it's called life. Many high class thoroughbreds get bought and sold all of the time. This purchase may have been a bit unexpected and abrupt (par Bafferts words), but the horse's health is not in severe danger. You could easily say that IHA's sale was sickening (when in reality it wasn't) or Havre de Grave going to auction has no "consideration". · 4780 days ago
jmac500 · Well switching his training a week before his next race will make him breakdown in my opinion. Many other people besides Baffert said it was unprofessisonal. · 4780 days ago

University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino was a backstretch visitor to the barn of trainer Doug O’Neill on Wednesday morning. Pitino, a visitor to Del Mar several times in past summers, said he was “checking on some of my horses” with his racing advisors.

buckpasser · Horse racing really needs to publicize some of the top sports figures in other disciplines that own thoroughbreds. We don't take advantage of this for the sport · 4792 days ago

He's a criminal and shouldn't be getting credit for any of this. He's had 14 offences of drugging his horses, he should be banned for life.

buckpasser · Footlick. I don't know if you follow harness racing but the standardbred ownership NJ website has a long article about Gural banning one of the top drivers George Brennan from his tracks because he defended Pena a trainer wo has been banned and fined for drug use. Interesting because Gural is really taking a proactive stance · 4852 days ago

Look all most if all for most of these trainers all traces of theraputic treatments. And runninig a horse back too soon. NOT performance enhancing drugs.

Doug IS NOT a criminal at all. Know him personally. AND you have your facts wrong. The violations were only 4 and minor. NOTHING to do with performance inhancing drugs. NOT milkshaked if you heard right. Doug plays by the rules. A very honest and great trainer. He so so deserves this great win. I am rooting for him all the way. And check it out every trainer save one in the derby alone all have similar violations and MORE. Go Doug!

Horsefan90 · The horses competing in the Belmont had to be in the Detention barn by 12:00 PM today. And I'm guessing that if you weren't there you would be scratched I guess. Why so close? I don't have an answer for that. · 4855 days ago
