With the household names History Formation (1998-2000) Household Names have been together since 1998, with various members rotating throughout the line-up with singer, Jason Garcia, until it was solidified in the summer of 2000 with bassist/keyboardist, Chris Peters, and drummer, C. J. of top-ranked horse Gentlemen and Kentucky Derby Kentucky Derby One of the classic U.S. Thoroughbred horse races. It was established in 1875 and run annually on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs track in Louisville, Ky. With the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, it makes up U.S. racing's coveted Triple Crown. winner Silver Charm Silver Charm (born February 22 1994) is an American Champion Thoroughbred race horse. Trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Gary Stevens, Silver Charm won the 1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes before falling short of the Triple Crown by placing second in the Belmont missing as expected from a shorter-than-usual list of 94 ``pre-entered'' for the Breeders' Cup, event organizers are happily watching the attention shift to some emerging gems. They include: Formal Gold, who with a Breeders' Cup Classic The Breeders' Cup Classic is a Grade 1 Weight for Age thoroughbred horse race for 3 years old and older run at a distance of 1¼ miles (2012 m) on dirt. It is held annually at a different racetrack in the United States or Canada as part of the Breeders' Cup. victory could complete a three-race climb from journeyman to Horse-of-the-Year possibility; unbeaten Favorite Trick Favorite Trick (April 20, 1995 - June 6, 2006) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who in 1997 became the first 2-year-old in twenty-five years to be voted United States Horse of the Year. in the Juvenile and once-beaten Countess Diana in the Juvenile Fillies, both 2-year-olds trained by Patrick Byrne Patrick Byrne is the name of several people:
indigo carmine indigotindisulfonate sodium. car·mine n. Lake, Pas de Reponse and Royal Applause, who give Europe an intriguing presence in the Sprint. ``Although the numbers are down from some prior years, we think the quality is as good as ever,'' Breeders' Cup president D.G. Van Clief Jr. said Wednesday in Beverly Hills Beverly Hills, city (1990 pop. 31,971), Los Angeles co., S Calif., completely surrounded by the city of Los Angeles; inc. 1914. The largely residential city is home to many motion-picture and television personalities. , after the announcement of the hopefuls for the seven races at Hollywood Park on Nov. 8. ``We are obviously disappointed not to have Gentlemen,'' Van Clief said of the leading Horse of the Year candidate, who, like Silver Charm, is recovering from an illness. ``But we fully support the owners' decision to protect the well-being of the horse. ``It's not as big a blow as it would be to a one-race event.'' The 94 pre-entrants are the second-fewest since 1988. The nine in the Juvenile is an all-time low. Only eight Europe-based horses are expected to start - also the fewest since '88. Three races drew more pre-entrants than the 14-horse starting gate will accommodate. After the top 14 in those races were determined by points earnings and a committee's judgment, among those on the outside looking in were Exotic Wood, Swiss Yodeler and Advancing Star in the Sprint, Hesabull and Naninja in the Mile, and Marie J in the Juvenile Fillies. Exotic Wood, who will draw into the field if one of the top 14 drops out between now and the announcement of final entries next Wednesday, was the 5-1 third choice for the Sprint in an early odds line published by the Daily Racing Form The Daily Racing Form, LLC (DRF) is a broadsheet newspaper founded in 1894 in Chicago, Illinois by Frank Brunell. The paper publishes the past performances of race horses as a statistical service for bettors on horse racing in the United States. . Advancing Star's likely exclusion means trainer Richard Mandella, who won two Breeders' Cup races the last time the event was held in Southern California in '93, will not have a horse this time. Formal Gold looks like the favorite for the Classic, which includes Belmont Stakes winner Touch Gold and eastern star Skip Away. Skip Away trainer Sonny Hine said Wednesday he and his wife Carolyn Hine, the horse's owner, decided to pay a $480,000 supplemental nominating fee in part because of this year's change in Breeders' Cup rules. Such fees now are added to race purses, giving the owner the chance to win back his investment, and are applied to future Breeders' Cup races for the same horse. The Classic purse, $4 million last year in Toronto, will be $4.4 million this year, making it the richest horse race ever. Hine said he also wants to test Skip Away on the Hollywood Park track because he's considering chasing the $3 million bonus expected to be offered for sweeping the '98 Santa Anita Handicap The Santa Anita Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in the late winter at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. It is a Grade I race for horses three years old and up, and is considered the most important race for older horses in North America during , Hollywood Gold Cup The Hollywood Gold Cup is a Grade I stakes race for thoroughbred horses inaugurated in 1938 at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California.
