T O Saint Denis(Dirt Mile) had to work for the vets this a.m. to get off poor performance list after getting beat 60 lengths in his last start in Japan. Completed five furlongs from the half in 1:09.99(1:12 and change from 5/8's pole) which should not qualify to get off the list

I know people are counting him out after the California Crown performance but Muth looked darn good in his workout today. Went 5f in 59:00

Undefeated in all 7 career starts, trainer Yasutoshi Ikee says, "If she can win the Distaff, I think this will be one of the most brilliant accomplishments of my career."

I like the amount of Japanese horses this Breeders' Cup. Is there any photos/videos of Don Frankie here yet?

The cargo flight from Shannon with City of Troy and the other AOB horses just landed at San Diego Intl. Hopefully there will be arrival videos soon.

There was video of City of Troy in flight in his plane stall. That was pretty cool

The video of him galloping. Wow.

Yea I was watching him with heart eyes when he was galloping on the BC show. He is gorgeous. He reminds me of Bernardini when it comes to looks.

A friend said that the BC is looking for Belmont to host the BC as soon as it’s ready

I’m so glad. Belmont is my favorite track - I adore it- and it tends to mostly play fair on big days, unlike many tracks

[MissNMecke]

Add Dr Ruben M & Destino D'Oro to the list of horses that will not run in the BC.

I read 2026 or more likely 2027.

I’m good, that’s fine - I just think they deserve another chance…and I’m tired of it being held at the same tracks

Tracks have to apply for the Breeder’s Cup. The reason that it’s held at the same handful of venues is that they’re the ones applying.

Thanks!

I wonder if Belmont applied and was rejected
