On this week's Racing Roundtable, James Scully, Vance Hanson, and Ashley Anderson discuss Thorpedo Anna's chances for a repeat win in the Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) following her victory in Saturday's Personal Ensign (G1).
James and Vance debate who they prefer for the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1): Ballerina (G1) winner Hope Road or Sweet Azteca, who captured the Rancho Bernardo (G3) for the second consecutive year over the weekend.
Other discussions include Breeders' Cup plans for Forego (G1) victor Book'em Danno and Allen Jerkens Memorial (G1) winner Patch Adams; and the weekly two-year-old maiden report.
