Thoughts on the 2015 Breeders Cup Races . . .

[Plenilune]

I have to admit I was pretty devastated that Beholder was unable to run. I honestly believed she had a good shot at winning. But after watching American Pharoah's performance I think she would have been a strong second, at best.

It certainly was a good day for the fillies and mares, though, with strong performances.

If not for the cost of insuring AP through a campaign at four years old I think they might have kept him in training and not sold him so early to go off to the breeding shed. I would have loved seeing him in the Dubai World Cup next year.

Did anyone see the picture of the connections of Mongolian Saturday in the winner's circle? They looked awesome and so crazy happy! I loved that they were dressed in their traditional garb.

Loved Found's win, that was sensational.

Overall, I think it was a great day of BC racing!
