I didn't hear anything about implementing the octafecta for the Breeders Cup.

Not to worry - there is always Mine that Bird in the dirt mile :rolleyes:

Wow, way to insult Richard's Kid :wf

I really like RK, love his running style... What can I say, I'm a sucker for a California horse that can close :{>:

ROR :tro::{>:

You must have adored Megahertz. I know I loved that little gal:tro:

I'm thinking you may be serious.

Why no Pick 4 on the first race both days?

i don't know, i think richards kid would have more of a chance than first dude.....first dude is in....c'mon man!

Have you ever looked at the PPs for Richard's Kid's dirt races?

They're horrible.

I think Biondetti is trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni unless they switched him to bin Suroor, Steve.

Steve Bin Suroor?

Here's a video link to his last race: http://www.ippodromimilano.it/video/G2010100903.wmv

He is. Has he been confirmed to the Juvy Turf with Dettori? I ask because I don't see his name on most lists and for some reason Watchmaker listed him as going in the Juvenile.

The Turf... will it ever have a big field again?

The Usual Q.T. gets green light for BC Mile
 

The Usual Q.T. will start in the Breeders’ Cup Mile on Nov. 6, trainer Jim Cassidy said on Thursday.

After considering a start in the California Cup Mile at Hollywood Park on Oct. 30, Cassidy and Don Van, who leads the partnership that owns the 4-year-old, have opted for the BC Mile.

Looking forward to Champagne D'Oro. Hope she can run back, I think that last was a real prep they had no intentions of winning really.

I don't really like her, but I think you're right that you can toss the last on that surface.

Thanks!

Wow, they're really considering Theyskens' Theory? I would love to see her over here, but I haven't read a thing about her lately

She has won me way too much $ to not like her. I also did a lot of work for Mike (Southern Equine) and root for him as a breeder/owner.

Well, it appears Theyskens' Theory is practically a definite for the Juvenile Fillies.......She's certainly bred to handle dirt, so she's an interesting new face.

Yup. . . I'm not sure how she fell through the cracks. She's pretty nice and definitely has a shot. I wonder what kind of price she'll be. . .

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/art...s-richest-race


Paddy O to the Classic They turned down 10 million for him

So the Turf lost Fame and Glory,Paddy and Cape Blanco all in 1 day

I love the D'Oro horses

I think she'll be a nice price -surely not one of the favorites. I'm glad they are taking a shot with her, even if she doesn't run well.

I like Honey Chile, but only if she runs well.

Klammer won today, and will go to Hong Kong instead of Churchill.

TVG just announced that Workforce is coming for the BC Turf

Nice addition. Just keep me updated on Joe the Dude's progress.

AZ Warrior worked in 58 and change at Hollywood Park today.

[Brisnet]

Courageous Cat (Storm Cat), who exits a third in the Shadwell Turf Mile (G1) on October 9, no longer is under consideration for the Breeders' Cup Mile, Mott said Saturday morning.

I hate to put almost my whole bankroll on Friday's P4 but it looks pretty sweet to me.

He worked today.

J. Velazquez is on Cash Refund in the Sprint.

The winner of the 10/23 El Joven Stakes at Retama (R Boy Bill) broke down after the race. They were planning on sending the Gelding to Churchill for the Juvenile Turf.

Get Serious isn't going to the Mile. . . Pretty sure he has already been turned out.

She is a very likely winner.
