Big Brown is this year's Thoroughbred superstar! After an easy victory against some quality horses in the Kentucky Derby, Big Brown again outdistanced his peers in the Preakness Stakes, winning by more than five lengths. The talented colt is trained and raced on Race 13, a feed manufactured by Hallway Feeds, a KER Team Member.

Nicola Crowley rode her eleven-year-old Paint gelding Cruiser to a win in the non-Thoroughbred division of the Lexington Derby. Held at the Kentucky Horse Park as the first event in the High Hope Steeplechase program, the race was designed to test communication and versatility of horse and rider. Each mounted entrant was asked to pour and drink a glass of water, pick up a bean bag and drop it into a container, stop and move the horse backward in a small area, and either jump a low fence or weave through a line of poles. In matching black and white with bright pink accents, Nicola and Cruiser claimed victory with a smooth ride and the lowest time in their division. Nicola, whose home is in England, was sponsored by Kentucky Equine Research where she is employed as a research fellow.

If you've paid careful attention to your receipts from the feed store, you certainly have noticed that the price of horse feed has crept up to unheard-of levels. And while it might be tempting to assign blame on your local feed manufacturer, larger forces are at work. There are five key factors that account for skyrocketing grain prices: biofuel production, extreme weather patterns across the globe, high oil prices, currency fluctuations, and a surge in global food demand.

David Hall is continuing to produce outstanding achievements in the Hong Kong racing scene. None more so than taking five convincing wins at the May Day Holiday Race Meeting held at Sha Tin racecourse.

Hall dominated the first four races of the card with blitzing performances by Telecom Emperor, Jade Dancer, Silent Dragon and Siameric Te Specso. To top off these stunning victories Hall also took out the quinella in the final race of the day when Ouraja beat stable mate Prime Score.

"There are so many well respected trainers here, and to win multiple races, two, three or four on a day is very tough but to win five in this company is something really special that I'll always look back on" said Hall when interviewed by the China Morning Post.

David Hall is most well known in Australia for his success with the incredible mare Makybe Diva. Hall trained 'the Diva' to her first Melbourne Cup victory in 2003 before relocating to Hong Kong where he currently holds 7th position on the trainers leader board. David has long been associated with KER and uses Equi-Jewel, EO•3™ and the Pennfield manufactured E°Clipse Equine Racing Formula to assist in bringing out the best performances in his horses.
