The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies with a full field of 14 could offer some good value, but perhaps not in a winning ticket.

Meet Brian Appleton
Thoroughbred Horse Racing is my passion. It started when at the age of 9 I found a book called Come On Seabiscuit by Ralf Moody on my Mother’s shelf. Reading that book was one of the most exciting things I ever did as a kid. I read that book so many times that I had entire chapters committed to memory and the dust jacket worn and ripped beyond recognition from so much use. From that point on I was hopelessly addicted, reading every book on horse racing I could get my hands on, especially racehorse biographies.Curlin is probably my favorite racehorse of all time. Being able to attend six of his races will always be one of the highlights of my life. Whenever I need to re-find some inspiration in my life all I need to do I watch one of his incredible victories and relive the memories. As any horse racing fan will tell you it’s almost impossible to choose just one favorite and I am no exception. Phar Lap and Citation are another two of my all time favorites and the list could go on and on.
I was homeschooled my entire life by my parents and graduated High School in 2006 at the age of 17. I have done several years of community college in mostly general courses and one semester at a university as a Communications major. Currently I am pursuing a Marketing degree with the hopes of entering the Thoroughbred Horse Racing field as a writer or journalist, or in the marketing/advertising/promotions side of the industry. You can visit my origanal blog, Rail Runner, here. I am the youngest of three children and I have the two most incredible parents in the world. I also have a wonderful brother and sister-in-law as well as three absolutely adorable nephews.
