The post positions, in this case, have no real impact on my more detailed thoughts on this field which are already up on the NTRA site – while Mastery (pictured) and Father Time seem the class of the field, I like Black Astor at a price. # Horse, Trainer, Jockey, ML odds1 Black Astor, Lisa […] Shocking’s Melbourne Cup win gave his sire, Street Cry, G1 winners at both sprinting and staying distances, but the stallion could garner even more accolades this weekend. While Street Sense has already carried the banner for Street Cry in the Juvenile in his 2-year-old season, and Zenyatta took the Ladies’ Classic last year, if she […] You’ll want to go over these today – I’ll be doing that on a train shortly, with more to come later. In the meantime, here are a few quick thoughts — Zenyatta’s first preference is the Classic – huzzah! Dar Re Mi is down for the Turf, with the F&M Turf as her second choice; […] While we are focused on the Breeders’ Cup, across the pond they are already thinking about next year’s 2000 Guineas and the Derby, thanks to St. Nicholas Abbey’s impressive victory in the Racing Post Trophy over the weekend. The 2-year-old Montjeu colt is 3-for-3 so far – if nothing else, he’s already accomplished considerably more […] 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.

But it was a satisfying exit; Champs Elysees capped his career in […] Although we had the rare luxury last weekend of enjoying racing on normal-ish television for two days in a row, we’re now in that odd pre-Breeders’ Cup holding pattern, where we wait on the who’s-going-where decisions. One that’s already been made is that Sea the Stars will not be coming to the Breeders’ Cup, but […] …is up over there. More to come later! As much as I like to complain that the racing industry often Gets It Wrong, the Breeders’ Cup did two Very Good Things this week (and it’s only Tuesday). First, they announced that a race will be airing live between two college football games on October 10th – and while I don’t personally see the […] This post also appears on NTRA.com. At first glance, the Breeders’ Cup Marathon might seem as though it was designed to attract the European horses bred for longer distances; but while the Marathon is relatively new to the American racing scene, having only been added to the schedule last year, its new 1 3/4 distance […] |
