Ben's Cat won the Grade 3 Turf Monster for the second year in a row. I was very disappointed last year when his connections decided against the Breeders Cup. Nothing appears to be different this year so I will not get my hopes up. He certainly deserves a shot. As T.S Eliot wrote “Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.”

Easy to say if you're not the one having to put up $200,000 to run in it. Not money well spent.

I saw Leatherbury after the race and he said he's probably passing on the BC again, will instead run in the Maryland Million.
