Would love to know what the instructions were to Private Mission there.
I hope it was too!

And I think the direction was to cause chaos.

Worth repeating!!!!
I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

Wonder if Letruska flipped her palate or something. There were red flags as soon as her jock started looking around.

When it rains it pours for Japan!

God what a brutal beat. Can only laugh. An absolutely incredible result for Japan though, who IS that mare?

I hope Letruska is okay.

It’s kind of fun though, I get sick of watching favourites win on the front end.

Yeah, as much as I love Letruska (and Jackie's Warror), I'm enjoying the chaos. Do the riders in the Classic overreact to it, though? A bit worried about that.

I guess some of the results today are "What happens if someone actually goes with the front running favorite". Answer, some crazy results. :)

Honestly this is a really fun Breeders Cup.

Me too. Plus, the connections celebrate a lot harder!

Question about the pool$....

Did Japan have their own betting pool, and if so, what kind of prices on their winners?

Or was their money comingled directly into the main pool?

they don't have to be favourites or on the front end, but all the horses that were generally expected to have exciting showdowns w each other are running like horses who could never have made the bc. i'm not having fun, but i'm glad other fans are. that's what the day is for.
