For sure. I would much rather see the scratch than something happen.
I was just REALLY hoping they’d bring him back next year.
I’m glad that, for now at least, they aren’t considering that stupid Pegasus race. Anything to hasten its demise. Keep the turf version, but the original has been a joke from day 1. Now that the purse isn’t so enticing maybe it will go away.
He’ll get every chance to succeed at Lane’s End; glad he’s headed there instead of WinStar or Spendthrift.
More are out.
Four more scratches. Ecoro Nio out of the juvenile. Get Smokin is out as well. Liams Journey is out of the juvenile. Algiors is also out
The only race I really have interest in is the Dirt Mile. I am so hoping that Cody’s Wish can retire a winner. This is a story that really touches your heart.
I plan on recording the races on Saturday and watching them on Sunday! I can’t watch live anymore
4 more scratches
I have no idea what TVG/Fanduel is/are. I want these races to stay on network TV so everyone can watch them without having to subscribe to some extra service.
I wonder why football is interfering with the race coverage this year. I don’t remember it doing that in past years. But then football has been around a lot longer than the Breeders Cup. I wonder what went wrong with the football scheduling this year.
I am quite sure it is money. Fanduel is what used to be TVG which was a horse racing channel. I always thought they were more interested in the gambling aspect of racing, but they knew their stuff. A couple of years ago, the big races were ripped away from them and daily racing is now on FS2 when it isn’t preempted by tractor-pulling or some other thing.
Race #1 to Ireland. I always enjoy seeing the international competitors in this event yearly, and kudos to them for coming. Of course, they do get paid well when they win.
Next up is Tamara in the Fillies, and I hope she is indeed a worthy daughter of her mother.
Many more scratches…

I do not like them not showing the complete order of finish. Why show the post order again?
I’m following on the TwinSpires app. they show the complete finish results.
Justify is really having a good day.
Way to go Muth taking 2nd.
(that’s my maiden name)
Mountain Bear was vanned off after the gallop out
#4 Bus Buzz was vanned off after the last race of the day as well.
I really liked that Mountain Bear. He was squirrely before the race, but he was gorgeous. And he walked into the van on his own.
How crushing, just so heartbreaking.
I liked him too and hope his recovery goes smoothly.
Good news for Mountain Bear. Apparently another injury,race #10, Bus Buzz vanned off and will need surgery.
