I believe one of the many beautiful things in racing is that nearly anything can happen in this sport.
Is January to early to start dreaming of the possibilities for the 2011 racing season?
Not in my view.
As the 2011 season gets under way, a new crop of three-year-old horses are taking flight while proven champions continue to build their legacy.
Can Uncle Mo win the Triple Crown? He certainly makes Triple Crown dreams swirl around in my head.
Will Awesome Feather extend her six-race undefeated streak in the New Year? I certainly dream of seeing another filly claim victory after victory.
Can Goldikova deliver a fourth consecutive Breeders’ Cup victory as she continues to race against her own legend? I hope to witness it.
In my mind, one of the most thrilling aspects of a new year in racing is that imagination precedes any answers to those questions.
It is part of the beauty of the sport.
This is a sport of imagination. And, it is a sport where the athletes can go beyond our wildest dreams. They deliver their own dreams to our doorstep, and, in the process, force us to consider new definitions of “greatness” in the sport.
I’m celebrating the New Year in racing.
Anything can happen.
And, it’s starting now.

“Can Uncle Mo win the Triple Crown?”
“Will Awesome Feather extend her six-race undefeated streak in New York?”
Heck, it could be Awesome Feather that takes the Triple Crown! Wouldnt that just turn racing history on its end? It’s a new year, anything is possible!!
Great Video! Thanx Jennifer!
You might have left off the best 3 yr old from the entire crop!
If you haven’t seen Dancinginherdreams races , she is a stone cold freak! She is on a schedule for the Oaks so the Derby is not out of the equation. She is #4 on my Derby Dozen behind..
1. To Honor and Serve
2. Rogue Romance
3. Uncle Mo
Have a great day and best of luck!
Jane - I would be thrilled to see a filly win the Triple Crown. Wouldn’t that be fun?
John - Thanks for letting me know the horses you’re excited about. I’ll be making more videos during Triple Crown season and I’ll be sure check out your picks!
