Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf

And so, on to Saturday’s races, beginning with the 2-year-old boys on grass. It’s another race that tends to be European-dominated, but there are some interesting North American horses to watch as well:

Breeders’ Cup Friday Roundup

Will Blind Luck get Blingeed?

For your browsing convenience, here are all the Friday Breeders’ Cup posts collected together. Might a female trainer win the Marathon? Will Midday repeat in the Filly & Mare Turf? Will Blind Luck prove she’s more than just the best 3-year-old filly in the land? Will the eventual […]

Breeders’ Cup ‘Ladies’ Classic’

Finally, the last race on Friday – the Not The Distaff. Some of these fillies and mares have missed out on some of the limelight with all the attention given to Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra, but it’s time for them to be noticed by a wider audience:

Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf

This is where things start getting quite exciting – the prospect of anyone beating Midday seems slight, but it’s a very interesting lineup indeed:

PP Horse Jockey Trainer ML #1 Plumania (GB) Olivier Peslier Andre Fabre 8-1 French-based filly finished near the back of the pack in the Arc, but she’s defeated the likes of […]

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies

We’re on to the (presumably) dirt-loving 2-year-old fillies, many of whom will be making their debut on the surface:

PP Horse Jockey Trainer ML #1 Indian Gracey Rafael Bejarano Jerry Hollendorfer 15-1 Never out of the money so far, but her only wins have been against lesser company (and on synthetic tracks). Edit: Out with […]

Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint

This is a tough one – lots of talent and a full field make it tricky to pick a winner. However, we will muddle through:

PP Horse Jockey Trainer ML #1 My Jen John Velazquez Eddie Kenneally 15-1 Gallant Bloom winner seems to have settled in well at Churchill Downs. #2 Sara Louise Frankie Dettori […]

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf

Next up, it’s the 2-year-old fillies on the turf – another good chance for European success, but will the North Americans prevail? If something close to the morning line odds hangs on, there is some definite value in this race.

PP Horse Jockey Trainer ML #1 Dos Lunas Jon Court John Glenney 30-1 Has a […]

Breeders’ Cup Marathon

Now that post positions for this year’s Breeders’ Cup are set, we’ll be analyzing each race in the order they will be contested. First up is the Marathon – a race for which I have a special fondness. With the defection of Temple City, we have a field of twelve:

Breeders’ Cup Pre-Entries: Saturday Races

Two Triples?

And so, on to the Saturday Breeders’ Cup races – rumors that there are some other horses competing beyond Goldikova and Zenyatta are entirely true. While the two champion mares are, without question, the stars of the event, each race on the card has something worthwhile going on.

After all, there’s […]
