ARCADIA, Calif. – Game On Dude will be in a familiar position at Santa Anita on Saturday – the heavy favorite in the $300,000 San Antonio Stakes.

A victory would make Game On Dude the first three-time winner of the Grade 2 San Antonio in the race’s 76-year history and put the gelding in a position for a record third victory in the Santa Anita Handicap on March 8, a race he won in 2011 and 2013.

But victories in those races would do little to answer a question dominating his career: Can Game On Dude win the Breeders’ Cup Classic?

The documentary “Breeders’ Cup 30-1: Greatest Moments in Breeders’ Cup History,” which aired on NBCSN last month and chronicles the best races of the 30 Breeders’ Cup World Championships, will be available on DVD at www.breederscupshop.com beginning Dec. 16.

The original one-hour documentary, produced by the Breeders’ Cup, The Hennegan Bros., and NBC Sports, has been updated and expanded to include Mucho Macho Man’s thrilling nose victory over Will Take Charge in the Nov. 2 Breeders’ Cup Classic.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Centralinteligence could return to racing after undergoing surgery for a condylar fracture suffered Nov. 1 in the BC Dirt Mile, trainer Ron Ellis said.

Centralinteligence was eased in the BC Dirt Mile after racing in seventh for the first half of the race. He was vanned off and underwent surgery to have two stabilizing pins inserted in his right front leg over the weekend. The gelding was back at Ellis’s barn at Hollywood Park on Wednesday.

When Parx Racing management moved the Pennsylvania Derby from Labor Day to the third Saturday in September, they really had three goals. One was to attract the Travers winner. Second, they wanted to give stakes-caliber 3-year-olds a last chance to run against their own age. Third, they wanted their race to be six weeks from the Breeders’ Cup so it could act as a final prep.

Well, they hit the trifecta this year and nearly got the Pennsylvania Derby winner home in the Classic.

Excitement in Northern California was high when She’s a Tiger crossed the finish line a nose in front of Ria Antonia in Saturday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita. She’s a Tiger, who trained early in her career and won her debut at Pleasanton, gave Golden Gate Fields simulcast bettors and her connections a thrill – until the inquiry sign began flashing.

The longer the sign flashed, the more her trainer, Jeff Bonde, and part-owner Allen Aldrich felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

California, it was said, never was the ideal spot for Europeans to ship for the Breeders’ Cup. The trip was too far, the weather too hot, the courses not suited to the horses. When Santa Anita switched from a synthetic surface – which the Euros loved in 2008 and 2009 – back to an American-style dirt track, it was said that the Euros would think twice about shipping, if they shipped at all. And when the Breeders’ Cup’s plan to ban Lasix from all its races slipped away earlier this year, it was said the decision would have a negative impact on overseas participation.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Trainer Jeremiah Englehart thought the highlight of his year was going to be when his New York-bred King Kreesa finished a more-than-respectable second to reigning Horse of the Year Wise Dan in the Grade 2 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga.

That was relegated to second place when Ria Antonia, a horse that wasn’t even in his barn two months ago, was moved by the Santa Anita stewards to first place in Saturday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, after first-place finisher She’s a Tiger was disqualified for bumping with Ria Antonia in deep stretch.

Handle on the Breeders’ Cup rebounded from a sharp downturn at the event last year, with all-sources wagering on the 14 races on the Breeders’ Cup slate jumping seven percent and total handle on the two Breeders’ Cup cards at Santa Anita surging 11 percent.

Santa Anita - BC Marathon (race 6)

COMMENT: London Bridge became the first New York-bred to grace the Breeders’ Cup winner’s circle as the son of Arch (sire of Blame) proved the top stayer. He came to the United States for this after campaigning in England and France. He bided his time early while Commander and then Suns Out Guns Out set the early pace. He steadily advanced, moved closer while staying wide and out in the clear, and doggedly kept to his task to wear down a couple stubborn rivals.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Game On Dude was the pro-tem leader for Horse of the Year coming into the Breeders’ Cup last weekend at Santa Anita, with Princess of Sylmar considered one of the viable candidates should he fail in the Classic.

Both, though, were soundly defeated, Game On Dude faded to ninth in the Classic on Saturday, with Princess of Sylmar last of six in the Distaff on Friday, leaving ol’ reliable Wise Dan as the front-runner to repeat as Horse of the Year following his victory on Saturday in the Mile.
