First Look: 6 graded stakes in anticipation of Breeders' Cup

The qualifiers for the Nov. 5-6 Breeders' Cup are finished, creating a bit of a lull ahead of the big weekend at Del Mar. But there are six graded stakes on tap this weekend at Keeneland, Belmont and Woodbine.

Here is an early look at the fields.

Friday

Two Emmys' win by a neck over Domestic Spending in the Mr. D. (G1) followed three consecutive runner-up efforts. Spooky Channel won the black-type Remington Green Stakes last out after finishing second in the Kentucky Downs Preview Turf Cup at Ellis Park.

Her stablemate Miss Speedy, unraced as a 2-year-old, is 3-for-4 this year, most recently scoring in the listed Duchess Stakes at Woodbine.
