  • DeadHeat · annmatt, HDG could get 10f plenty fine, and I'm sorry, BL was not even close to a shoe in after her last race, and would not have been because of her two losses prior. FO who won at 10f finished behind HDG in the Classic, and I heard people just yelling about the fact that with one extra furlong he would catch her...how did that work? HDG does not seem to run her best over Churchill. She did not have an overly impressive work over the track this year and still finished well. Trying to say what could have been will drive anyone mad. BL is a great horse, but did not have it this season plain and simple. HDG should not get a minus becase her two losses to BL at 10f were by a neck and a whisker. You don't take off because she beat her at a shorter distance. If you do that then you might as well take off BL for beating her at a distance longer than 9f. The score was 1-1, even. It goes to the horse who did the most, Grace. · 199 days ago ·

  • gocashking · Amazombie, by finishing the year with big wins in the Ancient Title and BC Sprint is a no brainer for the Sprint Champion Eclipse. It won't even be close. There's no way 7F and 8F wins will be rated higher than those two wins at the "traditional" sprint distance of 6F. Caling Flashpoint "brilliant" is also a bit of a stretch, I think. · 197 days ago ·

  • ruhlmann · I also like Jackson Bend in the BCSprint. Hopefully his 0 for 2 record at CD is nothing to worry about. If he runs with that burst like he did in the Forego & Jms Marvin he will be very very tough to beat. There should be plenty of pace to run at, with Euroears & Giant Ryan. · 209 days ago ·

This race looks to be all about Force Freeze and Jackson Bend. Amazombie could shine here as well. I like Giant Ryan but fear he will get cooked in a speed duel with Euroears. Big Drama is a short price and will have to be head and shoulders above the rest to win here. My pick is Paco Lopez and Force Freeze to win the sprint.
Jackson bend!

The Kentucky Derby is America’s race, but in the eyes of Bob Baffert, who has won the Run for the Roses three times, the Breeders’ Cup is an inspirational and motivating event that has the potential to attract new blood and new bucks in an industry that sorely needs both. Baffert should know. He has...Read More

  • Mary Z. · I wondered why too. Shouldn't he go for the Mile? But, check out his win on 11/11/10. aoc on turf at HP , 6f in 1:07.79 with Amazombie third. If he can get back to closing at a shorter distance than he's run lately, why not? The other cali turf sprinter, California Flag would be my pick if on the downhill course at SA, but not at CD. In the Mile, Caracortado would be up against the champ, Goldikova, and blazing fast so long as he doesn't burn out, Sidney's Candy. · 217 days ago ·
