Bridgetown – “He’s very consistent; he shows up every time,” trainer Todd Pletcher said of the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint starter. “He trains well. We’re just hoping that 6 ½ (furlongs) is in his range. His optimal races have been at 5 and 5 ½, but he did run well here as a 2-year-old.”Read More

Idle since running a close third in the Grade I King’s Bishop Stakes on Aug. 25 at Saratoga, the Steve Asmussen-trained Unbridled’s Note tried the turf for the first time in Santa Anita’s inaugural Grade III, $100,000 Eddie D Stakes and he relished the lawn, winning by 1 ¼ lengths while covering the...Read More

Crack turf sprinter Lakerville, winner of four of six starts including his debut at Santa Anita earlier this year, will miss the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Santa Anita on Nov. 3, Barry Abrams said. Read More
  • Mary Z. · It's hard to find updates on favorite horses when the surgeries/setbacks are minor, so in that way good to know what happened to Lakerville, but sad that he'll be away for the next several months. Low 1:12s max are required for the hill's top stakes, so maybe this wasn't his year for the Turf Sprint anyway, thrilling closer that he is. · 242 days ago ·

  • rita.polander · great selectiions Zipse! I prefer Richards Kid and Dhaamer in the Marathon. I agree with you that Point of Entry has a real shot in the Turf. Wise Dan is a monster in the Mile.

Saturday's wide open Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint includes a full field of fourteen headed by defending champion Chamberlain Bridge. Chamberlain Bridge will break from post 14 for trainer Bret Calhoun and the 7-year-old gelding is 4-for-6 over the Churchill Downs weeds. He has dropped four straight but...Read More
Oh, what might have been. Today at Laurel Park, amidst a sea of slop, the right horse won, but it was in the wrong race. As Ben’s Cat effortlessly strode away from five foes to win the $75,000 Laurel Dash Stakes all I could think was that he should be running instead in the $1,000,000 Breeders’ Cup ...Read More

  • arazi · szulcc - I agree. Where's the fun in winning a $75k race in the slop? After winning all these races, don't they sort of "owe it" to the horse to see what he can do? He's run like champion - he deserves the shot. · 566 days ago ·

Tomorrow at this time we will celebrate the approximately 200 horses that are pre-entered for the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. Today, I will lament over a horse that will not be on the list.

  • Winplacsho · I obviously what type of financial situations the owners are in, but this is real disappointing. Isn't it the idea to go to the pinnacle of the sport when you have a horse that can get you there? Also, Ben's Cat has already earned his supplemental fee. Makes me wonder if they're too cheap to buy him carrots after a victory. · 571 days ago ·

  • bobbeaux · In the world of thoroughbred racing, a $100k is not big bucks. I'm surprised someone did not step up to make this happen. I can only assume (I surely have no knowledge of the situation) that investors did not like the chances; or King Leatherbury is not an easy guy with whom to strike a business deal. · 571 days ago ·
