The Jackson camp is already on record as stating that Hot Dixie Chick won't run in the BC. Catalano's filly, She Be Wild, is the one to beat.

Without someone to set the pace I'm not sure if he can win.

Steve Crist posted on his blog today, "If Cowboy Cal and Court Vision are now the leading American hopes for the Breeders' Cup Mile, the europeans should sleep well tonight."

He posted again after the Goodwood, "They're not only sleeping well in Europe tonight, they're probably laughing. Gitano Hernando had been considered a more serious candidate for the $500k Marathon than the $5 million Classic, but today's result may make his connections, and several others, take a longer look at the Classic. Students of time, however, will note that Zenyatta's winning time of 1:42.89 for 8.5f was sharply inferior to Gitano Hernando's 1:48.39 for 9f in the Goodwood 35 minutes earlier."

Look for the Europeans to be overflowing the entry box, which should make some of the races more difficult to handicap and less attractive for American bettors.

Why? Because of Crist's comments?

All the Euros already realize how soft the BC races will be this year and plenty of them have been pointing here since last year's successful invasion.

The races become far more intriguing as an American bettor with the Euros in partially because if you do your homework you'll have a huge edge on those you'll be sharing the pools with and subsequently because those who can't handicap Euro form will rely on the mostly weaker American contingent and skew the odds accordingly.

If Goldakova is the heavy choice in the mile, I will have no problem at all trying to beat her with CC and CV.

Just as Well might be pointing to the Canadian International next weekend at Woodbine. If he runs there, he could wheel back in 3 weeks for the Breeders Cup Turf. Champs Elysees could also wheel back for a BC race (Classic or Turf) after running in the same race at Woodbine.

Red Rocks a GO for Turf... Lahaleeb a NO for F&M Turf:
http://www.ntra.com/content.aspx?type=news&id=42553



And note trainer Michael Channon's comments:

Although Lahaleeb earned a guaranteed spot in the Filly and Mare Turf through her E.P. Taylor victory, Channon expressed skepticism about the Breeders' Cup Win and You're In program, noting the prohibitive fees for horses not nominated to the Cup.

"In that sense," he said, "Win and You're In is a bit misleading."
