2023 Breeders Cup

I always enjoy reading what the jockeys and trainers have to say after the races.

Wishing all safe trips today, from barn back to barn. Don’t care who wins. Just safe trips.

I was so glad Cody won. Seeing Baffert win would sort of be like seeing Ollie win.

I just realized that the network the last two races ar on is Fanduel-the old TVG!

Just got back inside & watched the replay of the first couple races.
So happy for all the connections of Cody’s Wish.

I may just keep waiting & watching replays rather than the live races, since I’m behind the schedule anyways.

so far, so good, the downhill filly and mare, was spectacular!!!

I always get choked up at Cody’s Wish. I don’t easily cry but man… that story is so special.

You could throw a blanket over the top 5 or 6 at the finish (Distaff)
Such a good finish!
Poor Clairiere, so close for the 3rd time, but just not close enough to hit the wire first.

I was a bit teary eyed at this also! So happy for his connections.

The Classic ran really well. White Abarrio sure looked good. Arabian Knight set a quick pace, I wish he could have held on for 2nd.

Anyone else take petty pleasure in only one Baffert horse hitting the board?

I can confirm you are not.

On his home track, too!

How does everyone feel about Rick Dutrow being back and winning the Classic? I don’t know a lot about what he did. I just know it was for medication violations. At least he served his suspension time so I guess he has earned the right to be back. Or do y’all think he’s as bad as Baffert?

Based on the little I know (the little that was said yesterday) I don’t think he should be training at all, trusted with anyone’s horses. But part of what i heard said was that some people think he was innocent(?). So I can’t judge him.

Baffert, on the other hand …
I don’t know why he’s still allowed to compete.

Can you say more about the Pegasus? I know nothing about it except the name.

I have mixed feelings about Duttrow. After all, he served his suspension. Do we have no forgiveness? Yes? No? I was very glad Baffert didn’t win at his home track. Cheering for Baffert is sort of like cheering for Ollie I think.

Irad Ortiz, White Abarrio’s jockey was quoted as saying that Dutrow takes excellent care of his horses, and that is one of the things he likes best about him.

The gorgeous palomino that Donna Brothers was on during the BC.
