Venue for October 3
 

With the Breeders Cup rapidly approaching, it seems desirable to cover as many major stakes races as possible in our weekly contests. This Saturday our hard working scorer has kindly agreed to have us include races from two different tracks for the second week in a row, but this time they will be all in the same time zone and be listed all in a single thread.

We will be covering the following races:

From Belmont:
Champagne S. (Grade 1)
Flower Bowl (Grade 1)
Frizette S. (Grade 1)
Jockey Club Gold Cup (Grade 1)
Kelso H. (Grade 2)

From Keeneland:
Claiborne Breeders' Futurity (Grade 1)
First Lady S. (Grade 1)
Shadwell Turf Mile (Grade 1)
Thoroughbred Club of America S. (Grade 2)
Woodford Presented by Keeneland Select (Grade 3)

Race order and entry deadline will be listed once entries are available.

Since we went east to west last weekend I knew we were going to go north to south on Saturday. Funny thing is I was guessing Joly would go with Kamloops and Hippodromo La Plata.

WHY ARE WE NOT INCLUDING BELMONT R9 :confused:

RACE 9 Hill Prince S. (Grade III) POST TIME - 4:53 PM

Good card JB and nice win!!!:)

Just to confirm to all - the Hill Prince is not one of our contest races. Everyone's appetite is bound to differ, but I just thought that 10 major stakes races would be enough both for our handicappers and our hard working scorers.

Sorry if this disappoints anyone.
