Ladies’ Day – Some Further Thoughts

After having more time to mull it over, I’ve come to the conclusion that there are quite a few things I don’t like about the new Breeders’ Cup setup (although I’m obviously in favor of making the Friday races mean more), but also that there are some good solutions possible.

Major Bad […]

I Get A Free Ticket, Right?

Clearly, the Breeders’ Cup people read our blogs, since we’ve been calling for this for, oh, about a year — hats off to Handride for the tip (and check out Railbird’s opinion as well): Breeders’ Cup to Card Ladies Day

A few comments:

Tying program in to women’s health — good idea! Renaming the Distaff […]

A Zed & Two Noughts

There’s plenty of action on the Derby trail this weekend; Z Humor (right) is the big name in the Sam F. Davis and the Southwest is almost a weekend race (for those who actually have the day off) featuring the much-hyped Denis of Cork. Cowboy Cal is sticking to turf for the time being in […]

Dirt Marathon Conspiracy Theory

While thinking further about the new Breeders’ Cup Dirt Marathon, I began to wonder if it was an attempt (at least in the short term) to create a marquee race for Premium Tap. I know I’d like to see him race at least a few more times in the US (even though officially he’s staying […]

Breeders’ Cup: Final Thoughts

It didn’t hurt her to have Garrett Gomez aboard, since he was on something of a hot streak all day. Smarty Deb certainly did not embarrass herself in her first outing against tough competition — […]

Breeders’ Cup Highlights and Lowlights

The GoodOur end of Monmouth was actually very well set up; while it had something of a kids’ table ambiance with the temporary grandstands and concessions, they were well placed and (likely thanks to the weather) not overwhelmed. (I’ve been to others Breeders’ Cups where it was impossible to get anywhere near the food or […]

Breeders’ Cup Photos

Actual detail and commentary is coming later, but feel free to check out my Breeders’ Cup photos on Flickr. Here’s Dylan Thomas in the paddock to whet your appetite.

Recap on the Way…

Full recap of the Breeders’ Cup coming tomorrow; I got some nice pictures of George Washington before the Classic and from where we were sitting had no idea of his injury until getting home (all we could hear was that he had tired and was being eased; there was no suggestion that anything else was […]

Off to Monmouth

Don’t forget to check your Tomlinson numbers. Bet on the Europeans in the turf races. Note that Slew‘s Tiznow is also out with a fever. Oh, and bring a good rainhat; umbrellas are evil. See you at the track!
