#, Horse, Trainer, Jockey, ML odds 1 Zensational, Bob Baffert, V. Espinoza, 7/5Likely the fastest horse in training (pictured); will the post position hurt? 2 Cost of Freedom, John Sadler, T. Baze, 20-1Won the Ancient Title here…last year. 3 Fatal Bullet, Reade Baker, E. Da Silva, 9/2Speedy 4-year-old loves synthetics; second in this race last year. 4 Crown of [...] The Breeders’ Cup defections continue apace; Icon Project has been retired with a tendon injury, Macho Again caught a cough, Gitano Hernando and Lahaleeb didn’t want to pay entry feeds, Rail Trip has a foot bruise and Septimus isn’t going to make the trip from Europe.

I admit I’m most excited about seeing The Pamplemousse (pictured) in action again – there’s always something interesting about him on Mary [...] Last weekend’s racing may have produced more questions that answers; Albertus Maximus (pictured) was a worthy winner of the Donn (although Einstein overcame a terrible post position and a rough trip to hang on for third on his less-than-favorite surface, so at least he picked up a check) and is off to Dubai for the [...] |
