This is a VERY treacherous sequence.. Put a line through the 2 off/turf starts for Menacing Dennis and note his improving line on the Beyer scale (45-57-71). Sciacca ITM 50% at meet thus far (18/4-5-1) and has taken an instant liking to the way Gallardo rides. Given difficulty of sextet, may need to go narrow here with him, Piazza Del Campo and Clyde’s Image. Passport to Chaos & Sir Temple City are first turf and bred for it..
Most Likely: #4 Menacing Dennis 3-1 4th

33rd Breeders’ Cup ~ Saturday 11/5/16
There’s not a lot to say about what we were treated to Friday. Beholder and Songbird put in a display that will take it’s place among the great races of our lifetime. For Songbird, there will be other big moments, but for Beholder, this was the last moment. She was going to retire as an all time great no matter the outcome, but for B. Wayne Hughes and Richard Mandella and everyone that loves her, adding this final glory was a true fairy tale ending.
A raucously fun day Friday and got some nice pops out of good notions with the surfaces playing nice and even for everyone. The big multi tickets were unproductive as …
