Breeders’ Cup Thoughts - One Day After
What a great weekend of racing. We saw several outstanding performances, including three on Ladies Day Friday and many more on what will be now known as “European Saturday.” Less than 24 hours after a very successful Breeders’ Cup 25, here are a few thoughts and a breakdown of some of the standout races:
First of all, hopefully we haven’t seen the last of Curlin, but if we did it was a disappointing way to go out. Most of the 50,000 at Santa Anita were pulling for the superstar to defend his Classic title. It wasn’t meant to be. As I wrote on Friday, he had too much going against him - the lack of significant early speed and more than anything, he was just slowing down after a long campaign. Whether Curlin fans want to admit it or not, he hasn’t looked all that sharp in his last two starts and after finally facing some elite competition, it caught up with him Saturday.
There should no excuses about the Pro-Ride, surface, which played fair all weekend. Curlin got beat fair and square by a couple very good Europeans. Give Raven’s Pass all the credit. He is peaking at the right time while still going through a long season against the best in Europe. It was his first time on the surface as well.
By the way, I don’t like kicking people when they are down, but did I tell you about Casino Drive or what? He just wasn’t ready for that class. I still can’t believe how low his odds were.
To reiterate about the Pro-Ride, I am one of those who was very impressed with the surface. After talking with trainers and horsemen all week, most had good things to say about it. There seemed to be no biases and most horses got over it very well. For all the complaining about having a Breeders’ Cup on a synthetic surface, I think it turned out to be a success. It also played very fair from a handicapping standpoint. And most importantly, there were no breakdowns.
I thought Ladies Day Friday worked very well too. It gave horses like Ventura, Stardom Bound and Zenyatta a showcase and they shined. I know some people still don’t like the idea of having the fillies and mares run on a different day, but after Friday I would say the majority of the people I talked to thought it was a success. I would still go back to ?Distaff’ instead of ?Ladies Classic’, but I give the Breeders’ Cup credit for trying to be creative.
Here are thoughts on some of the races:
Filly and Mare Sprint - The first of three spectacular performances on Friday. Ventura capped a terrific 4-year-old campaign, where she won three stakes and earned more than $1.2 million for Juddmonte. Nothing less than an outstanding performance would have beaten Indian Blessing, who also ran a winning race. They are two special fillies and hopefully we wil see them next year.
Juvenile Fillies - In the week leading up to the race many people at Santa Anita thought Stardom Bound was vulnerabl because of her running style. I was not one of them. What I saw in the Debutante and Oak Leaf told me that this is one freaky buy movie online filly. She confirmed it in the BC with another breathtaking win. Seeing Stardom Bound make that move around the turn was one of the highlights of the weekend. I cannot wait to see where she lands as a 3-year-old and what she will accomplish. She will be one of the major stories of 2009.
Ladies Classic - What can you say about Zenyatta that hasn’t already been said? She is truly spectacular. Her seemingly effort Ladies Classic win capped an exciting Friday and kept her undefeated in nine starts. We can only hope she runs next year, and who knows, maybe a year from now she will try to the boys in the Classic.
Also, there is plenty of time for this, but Horse of the Year is now going to be very interesting between Zenyatta and Curlin. Both are certainly deserving and my early guess is Curlin has the edge. But Zenyatta is going to garner a lot of votes. Let the debating begin!!
Turf Sprint - Great race, great finish. I wasn’t one of those who had $75 winner Desert Code, but it would have been nice to have the biggest score of the weekend. Anyone have it? Just goes to show that toteboards can light up when you have ridiculous early fractions.

Do you write notes in your cookbook margins?
Filed under: Books
one of the best additions to a cookbook is not the mouth-watering images, but quite the margin notes. they are not purely a great way to remember thoughts and alterations on a dish, but also a way to give it all a sense of history. united can record the thoughts and feelings that a dish evokes, and years later revisit it, or share the thoughts and pages with others — making it a communal experience well after the fact.but i have a confession to make. i can rarely bring myself to do it — no purport matter how many times i regret it after the fact. it all comes from a sense of symmetry and visuals — if i could make it look great and opportune for the page, i’d do it every however. if i could make it look fellow the picture to the power, from becks and posh (click there to regard it full-sized), i would. that guy writes notes so sleek that it looks like they were printed on the page.so, here i sit, appease trying to convince myself. do you, slashfoodies, write in the margins? piece your experiences, and if you can, clearly share images of your notes!permalink email this comments
