Edgar Prado didn't have a mount at the Breeders' Cup, but the Hall of Famer can still ride with the best of them. 

This week's HandiGambling exercise is the eighth race at Betfair Hollywood Park, a $50,000 claimer for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles on turf.

Out of all the excellent Breeders' Cup races, I believe that GROUPIE DOLL's Filly and Mare Sprint was the absolute finest. 

It's been a harrowing week for most of us in the New York area, but it appears that our site has finally recovered from the devastating power of Hurricane Sandy.  We apologize for the inconvenience. Our annual Breeders' Cup HandiGambling exercise will go on hiatus until next year.  I will select a race for next week's contest in the next blog entry.
