Woodbine
Crystal Pearl has the edge in Tapeta allowance

Santa Anita
Dea Matrona stretches out in wide-open turf route; $54,223 pick six carryover

Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies: Crazy Hot Mess looks to get it together for new trainer
While most contenders in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies have done the traditional work to prepare for the $2 million race, Crazy Hot Mess is taking a somewhat unconventional path. After finishing second in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante for Peter...
Breeders' Cup Mile: Deterministic seeks to turn tables on Notable Speech
Round 2 comes around two turns, not one, and the connections of Deterministic hope that he can reverse the one-two finish Sept. 12 in the Woodbine Mile.
