Breeders Cup Photographs

Winners

Curlin- He was absolutely the best horse, and in his smashing Classic win, he sewed up Horse of the Year and Three Year Old Champion honors. We thought he was special in the Spring, and he has been ultra consistent all year, never finishing worse than third. It is a shame there isn’t runner up [...]

This was my first Breeders Cup where I was lucky enough to attend. I have only been previously to the 2004 Preakness, and then, of course various small track events throughout the years.
I have seen plenty of horses breakdown in televised events, and it is never a pretty sight. However, I stood not [...]

Juvenile Fillies
1. A to the Croft- Improving filly..lot to like.
2. Grace Anatomy- Ditto
3. Irish Smoke- True Smoke Glacken doesn’t produce many horses that can run a distance, but this filly is talented and this race isn’t a mile and a quarter. She was spectacular earlier in her career, and we are willing to give her [...]

Filly and Mare Sprint-
Oprah Winney- really, us bet against Oprah….don’t think so. Seriously, her speed numbers fit with these fillies and she has been on a roll.
Maryfield- If the speed chokes (and there is a lot of it, so it might), Maryfield will be there to pick up the pieces.
Juvenile Turf-
Nownownow- His last race [...]

The Kentucky Derby is the one even that reaches out and grabs even non-racing fans. It is the race that puts the sport on the map.
But, to the horse racing fans, it is Breeders Cup Day that is the highlight of the year. It is the one day (or this year two) where the best [...]

Horses that have done well at Monmouth in the past, may be horses not to be ignored this weekend. English Channel and Honey Ryder finished 1-2 in their last Monmouth race.
Any Given Saturday registered a most impressive win over the Monmouth in the Haskell over Curlin who didn’t handle it all that well. Of course, [...]

Sometimes if you work too fast shortly before a big race, it is not a good thing. Just look at Funny Cide’s pre Belmont 57 and change and that proves true.
But, Hard Spun ran fast numbers before the Derby and it proved only one thing- that he was ready to roll. Of course, Larry Jones [...]

Three year old colt, Teuflesberg is doing well after surgery to repair his broken sesamoid bones. He is comfortable walking on the leg, and spends many hours a day with his groom, who has been working overtime with the rambunctious colt.
So, now along with jockey Leparoux, who pulled him up before any further damage could [...]

With the pre-entries now released, along with the Breeders’ Cup Advance form, many handicappers across the nation are pouring over a plethora of data without a plan of attack. Knowing how to decipher the data is key, and the trainer angle is a good place to start.
Many high profile barns take plenty [...]
