Betting on Thoroughbred races at U.S. tracks was $970.3 million this October, according to figures released by Equibase on Wednesday, but a comparison to the same figure last October is invalid because of the scheduling of the Breeders’ Cup.
Lady Lucky is the probable favorite in Friday’s Shesastonecoldfox at Finger Lakes, having won a Belmont Park maiden race on Oct. 12, but she will be playing a new game in this race. The Shesastonecoldfox will be her first dirt start after three turf races and six furlongs will be the shortest distance she has tried.
