Cherie DeVaux will saddle five Breeders' Cup starters Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar, a sure sign of her rise to prominence as she attempts to become only the eighth woman to train a winner at the World Championships.View the full article -

The Breeders' Cup Turf (G1T) is, more often than not, an international showcase, validating the "World" in the Breeders' Cup World Championships. It's been dominated by horses shipping in from overseas ever since its first running in 1984.View the full article -

To own a horse is to participate in a dream. Particularly a Thoroughbred racehorse. And when that 2-year-old qualifies for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1T) on "Future Stars Friday," your dreams become more exciting.View the full article -

This still ranks as my favourite ever Interdominion series, and what a quality field the final was. My old mate Ben (in the hands of Graham Reaks) running a solid fifth against some all time greats. And man, those Ozzy boys should could give them the bash 😲 -
I think back with the likes of Young Quinn , Robalan , Hi Foyle , Master Dean , Kotare Legend , Captain Harcourt , Delightful Lady and others , there wasn't really a standout any one of many horses could win because it was so even . That interdominion final I posted with Young Quinn winning , if Hi Foyle had got out earlier he may have won and Roy Purdon always said he was the best horse he had trained , but the horse had issues so often wasn't racing at 100 % -
I can't see them beating Leap to Fame PS . But the more I look at that race the other day , the more I like Alta Meteor .Tim Williams seemed really happy with him as well .

I agree Sheldon was an excellent presenter so professional and interesting with his knowledge and comments . I just realized as well he isn't driving in the amateur races anymore

Not sure if they can be that unsafe - most races still run on Dirt in the States including Churchill Downs and Santa Anita (lucky to have been there in my younger days - fantastic day!) Throw in that the Worlds richest race is on Dirt (and I suspect a lot of the Worlds best racing on it) - maybe the stats are angled in a way to favour interested parties ? -

It's been great seeing you guys discuss a lot of drivers and horses from days gone by - lots of fond memories... Must try and track down a replay of The Box Seat and agree on Greg being top notch. I was a Sheldon fan too - pity he moved away from the screen. -

I guess that’s a wait and see John, but at 100 to 1 the odds are certainly in your favour regarding me NOT getting the money. On another subject, I’ve done my picks subject to scratchings, for the Grand Final on Saturday. For what it’s worth, I am very confident, as what I use for my system is very clear cut this weekend. -

No, and it seems some of the RV vets were happy for the horse to run. As it's being reported up here, the line is there was no actual injury to JAN BRUEGHEL but a risk of injury due to the horse's ongoing physical development (the inference for me is had he presented as a 5-y-o, say, fully developed, there'd be no problem). If you take that view, that younger horses are more at risk of injury because they are insufficiently physically developed, you wouldn't have 3-y-os racing at all. It's my experience looking at NZ and Australian races horses are raced for longer (yes we have sprinters going round as 9 and 10-y-o but not many) but you don't have the option of sending 3-y-o off jumping for example. We run 2-y-o over 2000m and early season 3-y-o can go over 3200m and I don't think that happens with you. Part of the issue is, I think, cultural - we start more horses younger and perhaps the training regimes in Australasia and Europe are different (I'm not well informed on that). -

That's a tuppence you won't get back Liz I see in the article above that Rogerson says weights mean a lot, and the other day I heard Roger James saying that good barrier draws make a big difference. What would these multiple Group winning trainers know!?? -
Gee I was just having a laugh on the other thread when I suggested we may not get 24 to the gates but its starting to look like a strong possibility.. -
Go Sharp And Smart and go Deb as I think you are doing all the work. A great down to earth interview. P.S. I am on at 100 to 1 for tuppence, but that's OK LOL
