Chiamami di nuovo è il nuovo video di Margano, oggi in anteprima esclusiva su TRAKS. Il video di “Chiamami di Nuovo” offre uno sguardo sulla storia di una persona che cerca di sfuggire da una relazione insoddisfacente immergendosi nel suo cellulare. La creatività di Clara Gargano e Laura Galbusera, le menti dietro il concept e le riprese, ha portato a una produzione unica, nonostante le…

Nomade è il nuovo singolo di Margano in uscita con distribuzione The Orchard / Costello’s. ”Nomade” è il racconto della mia vita, una sorta di diario di bordo. Se le strofe indicano in ordine cronologico i vari luoghi in cui ho vissuto mettendone a risalto le immagini che più mi sono rimaste impresse, il pre-chorus e il ritornello invece esplorano la sensazione di alienazione che a volte si…

Margano comes in first by 2 3/4 lengths, on January 12, 2013, at TAMPA BAY DOWNS in Race 5. Off odds: 1.10

Normally-- and with good reason-- I don't look too hard at horses with a grass preference typed into their hard-wiring. Grass and dirt are just two completely different beats, but ever since Barbaro and again with Animal Kingdom's win last year, the issue begs to be reconsidered. Can a good grass horse also be good on synthetic (sometimes!), and even the almighty dirt?

Looking at some horses with a natural-born affinity for grass or those who have been training over it, a few of them are tugging at me to include in the Kentucky Derby picture.

Margano - On and off as an improving grass horse, he's Barbaro's latest full brother trained by Barclay Tagg. Featuring a (sometimes) emphatic late kick, he's looking like a pretty nice horse, but again, is not too consistent. He recently finished seventh in a Gulfstream allowance/op claimer after breaking his maiden, but shows he can more than likely nail that Derby distance.

Lucky Chappy [pictured] - Something just makes this horse pop out to me. He was a good fourth in the BC Juvenile Turf (I) despite not being terribly experienced, and is part of Team Valor's Graham Motion contingent. Could he improve on the dirt? (As an aside, his coloring/tail is so beautiful!)

Our Entourage - Knowing his connections, Mike Repole's three-year-old colt is destined to try dirt again after coming in fifth in the Remsen Stakes (II). He has a fantastic grass pedigree (by Street Cry [IRE] and out of a Dynaformer mare). He's a nice horse with the potential to blossom, which I think he will do down the road, but in time for the Derby... that's a real interesting question.

Animal Spirits - Another horse I liked straight out of the walking ring. He showed a lot of potential winning the Bourbon (III) and then came in fifth in the BC Juvenile Turf (I). A son of Arch and trained by Al Stall, who knows, he could be tested on dirt.
