Breeders' Cup Clocker: Nitrogen returns to tab with easy half-mile
Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse had himself a pretty good morning Wednesday at Keeneland, where he sent out a trio of contenders, including odds-on Breeders' Cup Distaff favorite Nitrogen to breeze a maintenance-like four furlongs.
Breeders' Cup Pre-Entry PPs Available Now! Get your handicapping package today.
Host of previous winners among 222 pre-entries for 43rd Breeders' Cup
Led by eight returning winners from a year ago, two Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winners, and a foreign line-up that numbers 75 strong, a total of 222 horses were pre-entered for the 14 Breeders' Cup races worth $30 million in purse money to be...
Breeders' Cup Turf: Ombudsman's defection changes complexion
After being pre-entered, Ombudsman on Wednesday was taken out of the Turf, leaving a hole at the top of the penultimate race of the two-day Breeders' Cup meeting.
Breeders' Cup Juvenile: Baffert brings pair of undefeated colts
While most of the focus of Bob Baffert's bid to win a record-extending seventh Breeders' Cup Juvenile will be on the undefeated Hughes – and rightly so – the Hall of Fame trainer will send out another undefeated colt in the $2 million race to be run...
Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf: Blue Bolt has the class but is untested going long
Breeders' Cup races typically offer horses a chance to do what they do best at the highest level. This year's Filly and Mare Turf falls into a different category.
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies: Emphatic the clear leader after Alcibiades win
Emphatic, the winner of the Grade 1 Alcibiades last month, led a group of 13 pre-entered in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies on Wednesday. A small army of improving contenders seem willing to challenge the Brendan Walsh trainee, but she remains the...
Belmont Park
Fedupwiththefed the one to beat against familiar foes
Fedupwiththefed, a daughter of Central Banker trained by David Donk, finished second behind Baseball Lady on Sept. 24 and was 3 1/2 lengths clear of the rest of the field. A repeat of that performance likely makes her the one to beat on Thursday in a...

Breeders' Cup Distaff: Nitrogen heads compact cast of nine
No surprise on the pre-entry list could have possibly supplanted Nitrogen as a heavy favorite in this year's Breeders' Cup Distaff, making it all the more reasonable that no surprise came Wednesday.
Breeders' Cup Mile: Notable Speech looks to join list of repeat winners
Something about the Breeders' Cup Mile loves recurrence. Five times a Mile winner has returned to win the race a second time. On seven other occasions, though, a first-time Mile winner failed in a repeat bid. Notable Speech will fall into one of thos...
Breeders' Cup Sprint: Englishman fails to scare off competition
Despite the imposing presence of Englishman and T O Elvis, the $2 million Breeders' Cup Sprint on Oct. 31 at Keeneland will likely feature a full field of 14 starters for the second year in a row, with 19 horses having been pre-entered for the race.
Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint: All eyes on Ways and Means
Ways and Means is likely to face a dozen rivals and will be heavily favored to give her trainer Chad Brown a record fourth victory in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint on Oct. 31 at Keeneland.
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf: How's Al Today gives American team hope
He was the juvenile star of the Kentucky Downs meeting in late summer, winning an allowance race and the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile, both by at least four lengths, in less than two weeks. The wins have made How's Al Today the leading American-based...
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf: Sun Goddess looms large in Euro-dominated field
There is no shortage of candidates willing to challenge the European star Sun Goddess in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf on Oct. 30 at Keeneland.
