LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Expert Eye’s best race might have been his last race.

After winning the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile on Saturday, his first Group or Grade 1 win, Expert Eye was scheduled to fly back to England on Monday. No decision has been made regarding his future, but Expert Eye could be retired to stud by owner-breeder Khalid Abdullah.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Peter Miller was at the airport Sunday morning with his family awaiting a flight back to California. But the veteran horseman may not have needed a plane to get him back home, considering the high he was still on following his record-setting performance the previous afternoon at Churchill Downs at Breeders’ Cup 2018.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – John Sadler has the Pegasus World Cup in mind for Accelerate and is eager to try Catapult in the inaugural Pegasus World Cup grass race that also will be run at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 26.

Catapult was an unlucky loser of the Breeders’ Cup Mile on Saturday at Churchill Downs, getting caught in the shadow of the wire by Expert Eye and at the time making Sadler 0 for 44 in the Breeders’ Cup. Catapult returned on Sunday to California, and Sadler said he will be prepared for the Pegasus grass race.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – City of Light, the dynamic winner of the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile on Saturday, “came out of the race in great shape” and was scheduled to return on Monday to his home base at Santa Anita, where a plan will be decided regarding a next start, trainer Michael McCarthy said on Sunday at Churchill Downs.

City of Light is scheduled to go to Lane’s End Farm upon retirement, but when that happens, and what City of Light’s race schedule will be, is in flux.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Enable courageously ran her way into the record books Saturday at Churchill Downs, becoming the first horse to win both the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders’ Cup Turf in the same year. Now, the question is whether Enable will be given the opportunity to make more history in 2019.

A decision on that will not be made in the short term, according to Teddy Grimthorpe, the racing manager for Prince Khalid Abdullah’s Juddmonte Farms, which bred and owns the superstar 4-year-old filly. Grimthorpe did say that Enable would certainly not run again in 2018.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – John Sadler, winless in 44 Breeders’ Cup starts entering the Classic on Saturday, understood why he was the focal point in the immediate aftermath of Accelerate’s victory, but by Sunday morning, he very much wanted the emphasis to be on Accelerate and what he had accomplished in 2018.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Shamrock Rose, the 25-1 winner of the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint on Saturday at Churchill Downs, was scheduled to ship Sunday to Mark Casse’s training facility in Ocala, Fla., where she will stay active for the time being.

Casse said he believes Shamrock Rose is deserving of the divisional Eclipse Award for filly-mare sprinter, but he will “keep an eye on” the Grade 1 La Brea on Dec. 26 at Santa Anita “in case we need” a victory in that seven-furlong race to further bolster the filly’s candidacy.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The 20-cent Rainbow pick six will begin on Sunday at Santa Anita with a 21-day carryover of $1,143,194, which must be distributed on the final day of the autumn meeting.

With such a hefty carryover, track officials expect the pool of new money to surpass $6 million.

Saturday, the 20-cent pick six paid $1,321 to 142 ticketholders. The Rainbow pick six has had multiple winners each day during the meeting, which has caused the carryover pool to exceed seven figures.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Jaywalk emerged from her emphatic victory Friday  in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Churchill Downs in good shape and is scheduled to ship Sunday to her winter base, the Palm Meadows training center in south Florida, where the Cross Traffic filly eventually will resume training in her role as the early favorite for the 145th Kentucky Oaks.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Polydream was scratched lame Friday morning from the Breeders’ Cup Mile by state veterinarians to the great consternation of five-time Breeders’ Cup winner Freddie Head.

Head insisted both publicly and to state and Breeders’ Cup veterinarians that Polydream was moving the same way she always does and that nothing was amiss with the filly, the morning-line favorite for the Mile.

“It’s a disgrace,” Head said later Friday morning. “You think I’m taking a horse to America that’s not ready to run?”
