For today, Fri
Race 6
Juv Turf

11 Imperia
10 Startup Nation

Race 7
Dirt mile

1 Goldencents

Race 8
Juv Fillies Turf

11 Conquest Harlanate

Race 9
Distaff

#4 Belle Gallantey
#11 Close Hatches


For Saturday I only like the Sprint, I think #12 Fast Anna is sitting on a big run and I do believe they have him to catch, however, I also believe that the Hong Kong invader, #6 Rich Tapestry can do just that, so I plan to key the 6-12 in some tri's and super's and bet Fast Anna to win and place if the odds are higher than 6-1.

Good luck to all and may they all return safely.

I didn't do terrible today, but I didn't do great.

I am sad to see Close Hatches just peter out. I wonder if she'll retire now? Untapable ran like a champion, no doubt there. Don't Tell Sophia is such a grand mare, nice to see her get 2nd.
I wasn't happy to see Vicar's In Trouble run so hard and break his leg. That is awful. Having surgery tomorrow. Poor little guy, he tries so hard, but he was in over his head. Goldencents is just a bulldog of a horse. Sad to see him retire, but at least he's going out a winner.
Those juvenile turf races are too hard for me. The filly was very impressive though.

Good luck tomorrow and safe trips to all.

As the BC Classic was such a horrible race, I believe that Untapable should be Champion 3 yr old filly and HOTY. Just my humble opinion.

I had a rough Breeders Cup, but it was fun. Until the Classic. That was a huge let down.
I don't know if I think she should be HOY, or the Turf horse. Mind you, he only had those 4 Gr1 wins.
I don't think Bayern should get it. Based on his record, he really wasn't better than Chrome or Belief. The Classic was terrible leading up to, with no real top handicap horse, and the ending was ugly. I wish I could erase it. That is not how you win horse races.
