FILTER RESULTS ►He Was the Best
And now he’s in the Hall of Fame. There was some grumbling on Twitter about 2006 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner and Horse of the Year Invasor, with his career record of 11 wins from 12 starts, being among this year’s inductees into the Racing Hall of Fame — “No offense to Invasor, who was very [...]

The Horse Race That Matters
With the one of the most stacked fields of the Breeders' Cup, the less-heralded Ladies Classic race offers a window into how raising fillies can be a surer bet than colts for their owners.
The Contenders
A few of the 2012 Breeders’ Cup contenders I’ve spotted around Santa Anita … Animal Kingdom (Mile) Groupie Doll (Filly and Mare Sprint) Sky Lantern (Juvenile Fillies Turf) Jaycito (Marathon) Game on Dude (Classic) Richard’s Kid (Classic) Ron the Greek (Classic) Dullahan (Turf) Point of Entry (Turf) Trinniberg (Sprint)
Classic Contrarian
Caton Bredar on why Royal Delta should run on Breeders’ Cup Friday: More important than semantics or awards, though, is the idea that the Ladies Classic — particularly this year — is a great race in its own right. Should the field remain intact, it will feature three previous BC winners — Royal Delta joining [...]

Kiaran McLaughlin’s plan to return It’s Tricky to the races was a success.

There are two more chances for everyone attending "Win and You're In" Breeders' Cup qualifying races, to have an ownership interest in a horse running in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs on November 5.
Blind Luck to Lady’s Secret
Farewell to the rivalry for this year: While Blind Luck’s rival Havre de Grace will likely use the Beldame as a prep for the Breeders’ Cup Classic (gr. I) against males, Hollendorfer said there is no way his filly will run in that race. “I’m not running her in the Classic,” he said. “I don’t [...]
He Was the Best
I’m heading up to Saratoga for the Whitney Handicap, which is a Breeders’ Cup Classic Challenge race and a stakes I best remember for 2006, the year Invasor won by digging in and outlasting Sun King by a nose. There is no Invasor in this year’s field, but the winner will get a guaranteed spot [...]
