BC Internationals: Filly & Mare Turf contender Nezwaah

Wed Nov 01 2017Kellie Reilly

Out of luck in her two visits to Woodbine, Nezwaah hopes that Del Mar is more congenial. The firm turf is a welcome certainty, but the nine-furlong distance of the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1) injects a less welcome variable. Trained b ...

Wed Nov 01 2017TwinSpires Staff

Seven stakes races highlight Breeders' Cup undercards

Wed Nov 01 2017Alastair Bull

Thirteen Breeders’ Cup races understandably take precedence at Del Mar Nov. 3-4, but punters shouldn’t ignore some excellent racing on the undercards. This is particularly the case on Friday, which features two graded races: the 1 ¾-mile Marathon (G ...
Juvenile Turf a wide-open contest

Wed Nov 01 2017Alastair Bull

  If you correctly pick the trifecta or superfecta for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf , chances are you’ll get a very good payout. You’ll probably get good money just for the winner, for that matter, if the morning line is at all accurate. ...
Spreading It Around

Wed Nov 01 2017Kelly Clark

Another round of the 2017 Orange Park Derby is in the books and the points got spread around even more as several unexpected greyhounds seized their opportunity with box to wire wins. Three of the four winners were not posted as favorites and that m ...

Wed Nov 01 2017Alastair Bull

  A full field of 14 lines up in the first Breeders’ Cup race at Del Mar, the one-mile Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf , but it already looks like it’s about unbeaten U.S. filly Rushing Fall against Irish maestro Aidan O’Brien’s pair Happi ...

BC Internationals: Filly & Mare Turf contender Senga

Wed Nov 01 2017Kellie Reilly

Blame, who famously spoiled Zenyatta’s grand finale in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), could crash the farewell party of another beloved mare in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1) – through his daughter Senga, who takes on Lady Eli at ...
BC Internationals: Filly & Mare Turf contender Rhododendron

Wed Nov 01 2017Kellie Reilly

It seems like a lifetime ago, but Rhododendron was the top fillies’ classic prospect for Ballydoyle this season. A commendable runner-up when bumping into two unexpected stars in the 1000 Guineas (G1) and the Oaks (G1), the Aidan O’Brien trainee is j ...
BC Internationals: Filly & Mare Turf contender Queen's Trust

Tue Oct 31 2017Kellie Reilly

Only the great Ouija Board has won the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1) twice, in non-consecutive years, and defending champion Queen’s Trust would have had a serious chance to become the first repeat winner – but for the shortened 1 1/8-mile ...
BC Internationals: Mile contender Karar

Tue Oct 31 2017Kellie Reilly

Like Home of the Brave , Karar is an also-ran from the 2016 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1) who’s much happier to get the opportunity he really wanted all along in the Mile (G1). Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, the Al Shaqab runner enters in si ...

Tue Oct 31 2017James Scully

Arrogate appeared well on his way to making a successful title defense in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic when opening 2017 with smashing wins in the Pegasus Cup Invitational (G1) and Dubai World Cup (G1), but the landscape changed dramatically ...
Mor Spirit the one to beat in Dirt Mile

Tue Oct 31 2017Alastair Bull

There’s plenty of class on offer in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile , but one prep race stands out when trying to work out who might win. Facing a field including two of his Dirt Mile opponents, Mor Spirit romped away with the one-mile Metropolitan Han ...
BC Internationals: Mile contender Home of the Brave

Tue Oct 31 2017Kellie Reilly

Home of the Brave was pitched into last year’s Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1) when his chances of drawing into the Mile (G1) appeared dodgy, and it just didn’t pan out for him. Now trainer Hugo Palmer is happy to be in the “right” race as the speedy ...
