You certainly know the given name Ogden and the surname Phipps, but you may not know much about this particular Odgen Phipps. He is Ogden Phipps II, the 40-year-old son of Odgen Mills “Dinny” Phipps, who passed away in April, 2016. Going back to the late 1800s, the Phipps family has been a visible and
The China Horse Club is a relatively new name in American horse racing, but it has wasted little time letting the world know that it intends on being nothing less than a major player on the U.S. racing scene.

Two things are certain about Ron Paolucci-his enthusiasm for the sport is unsurpassed and he thinks outside the box. That's why it comes as no surprise that not only will he partake for the second straight year in the GI Pegasus World Cup, but he has two entrants, War Story (Northern Afleet) and Sharp Azteca
A lot has changed in racing since 1904, but one thing has remained the same. When it comes to Oaklawn Park, for the last 114 years the person in charge has been named Cella. Following the death of Oaklawn owner Charles J. Cella in December, his son Louis was named the new president of Oaklawn.
