ARCADIA, Calif. - Landeskog will be scratched from the Breeders' Cup Sprint on Saturday, trainer Doug O'Neill said Tuesday morning.
"He's 95 percent. Not 100. We have to wait for another day," O'Neill said. "He's a cool horse with a bright future."
O'Neill said that Landeskog "cooled out a little funny" after his last work on Saturday. "He tied up, not bad," he said.
Keep these thoughts in mind as you are evaluating the Beyer Speed Figures for the Breeders’ Cup horses: What BSF is it going to take to win the race, what horses are capable of it, what horses are most likely because of current form/race shape/workouts to produce a winning BSF.
ARCADIA, Calif. – The decade-old purple saddle towel looks brand new. It was not worn very many times, in 2009 for about a week, probably, and those who saw it in person will never forget the runner whose name appeared in white block letters below the Breeders’ Cup logo: ZENYATTA.
On Nov. 7, 2009, Zenyatta roared from last of 12 with a wide rally to score her 14th consecutive victory the BC Classic. For thousands and thousands of racing fans, there has been no greater moment in modern racing.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Dixie’s Gamble didn’t have to face the imposing champion Pink Lloyd in Saturday’s Overskate Stakes, and the Ivan Dalos homebred had no problem disposing of a depleted field Saturday in the seven-furlong sprint for Ontario-sired runners.
Dixie’s Gamble had failed to duplicate his impressive second-level optional-claiming score of June 9 in three subsequent stakes starts, which were all won by Pink Lloyd. But he rebounded from a fading fifth in the Aug. 28 Kenora on Saturday with a handy score over Magical Man.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Strong, deep fields in the Classic and Mile, Horse of the Year candidates who loom as strong favorites in the Distaff, Turf, and Filly and Mare Turf, and another top-rated horse in the Dirt Mile highlight the second of two Breeders’ Cup days this weekend at Santa Anita, the nine-race card to be run Saturday.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Trainer Dale Romans wanted an inside post for Dennis’ Moment for Friday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita. He just didn’t want the extreme inside post.
But Dennis’ Moment did indeed draw the rail in a nine-horse field entered Monday for the 36th Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. Dennis’ Moment, a 19 1/4-length maiden winner and the winner of the Grade 3 Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs, was made the 8-5 morning-line favorite by Santa Anita linemaker Jon White.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The man in the announcer’s booth at Santa Anita this weekend can trace his affection for racing to the inaugural Breeders’ Cup at Hollywood Park in 1984.
Back then, Frank Mirahmadi was a 17-year-old high schooler fascinated by the runners, the sport, the pageantry, and the pari-mutuel activity surrounding horse racing.
“The first Breeders’ Cup was one of my favorite memories of life,” Mirahmadi said while watching morning training on Monday.
Mirahmadi, 52, attended the 1984 Breeders’ Cup with his father, George, an electrical engineer.
