Goldikova’s Three-peat Overshadowed at Breeders Cup

By Mike Dempsey

While Zenyatta was the marquee name in this year’s Breeders’ Cup, the mare that was overlooked was the brilliant mare Goldikova, who became the first horse in history to win three Breeders’ Cup races.

Two hours before Zenyatta pranced on the track for her attempt at history, Goldikova ran down the field in the Mile, holding off the late running Gio Ponti by 1 ¾ lengths under another stellar ride by Olivier Pelsier.

Zenyatta’s First Loss

During the races over the weekend, all eyes were turned to the race that Zenyatta ran against Blame for a shot at a 20-0 record. Despite her best efforts however, there was simply no chance that Zenyatta was going to defeat Blame. The two horses delivered solid results all day long, and both did very well. However, it was Blame who took that race and is now in contention for the Horse of the Year award. Zenyatta has delivered excellent races all throughout her career. Even with a comeback from retirement, she has been held in high esteem across the nation. Still, it was Blame that became one of the best horses in the nation by winning the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday at Churchill Downs.

The Best Horse To Ever Race

Many will tell you that their favorite horse is the magnificent Zenyatta, and there is a reason for this. The unbeaten mare has gone 19-0 in the past three years, and has pushed through with simply amazing results. Things will come to a head when Zenyatta faces down the best of the best in a race on Saturday that could make history. A victory in this race would make Zenyatta a three-time winner in the Breeders’ Cup. An additional perk is that the purse is set at a massive $5 million dollars. The race has been eagerly awaited by the masses, and with the date rapidly approaching, all eyes are on Zenyatta. She will run to defend her title, pride and record. This race would be the one to watch if you could only spare time for one this year.

Churchill Downs – Stakes Preview

By Joey Adams

There is action prior to the Breeders’ Cup races on Friday at Churchill Downs, with four races being run on an undercard which begins at 2:00 PM (ET). There is a 30% chance of rain moving into the area Thursday night and continuing into Friday, then the front is expected to move through and produce sunny skies for Breeders’ Cup Saturday.

Europeans Primed for Big Effort in Breeders’ Cup

By Mike Dempsey

The Europeans are coming, and they plan on taking a good portion of the $25 million in purses in the Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships back home with them.

While the Euros will not have much of an impact on the races contested on dirt, they will be very tough in virtually all of the turf races of the two-day championship event.

Here is a look at a few coming over from the other side of the pond that have a good shot of hitting the winners circle:

Goldikova Goes For World Record

This Saturday, there will be a chance for you to witness history being made. Goldikova will be racing in the BC Cup Mile in an attempt to take her third straight victory. No horse in history has been able to win three of them, let alone three in a row. Still, that is the goal on Saturday for Goldikova and trainer Freddie Head. No other horse has won it three times, and as such, no other horse has been able to lay claim to that record. Not even the famous Zenyatta has been able to accomplish that feat. On Saturday, it could be a legendary race from Goldikova in the BC Cup Mile.

Blind Luck Readily Waits

Blind Luck has delivered some incredible races this year, and it seems that she is going to be a main attraction in one of the biggest races this year. Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer has intensely prepped the horse for a very solid career, and has achieved a number of spectacular results from his efforts. The horse has landed herself a prime position as the leading horse in the 3-year-old filly division. With the $2 million Ladies’ Classic approaches on Friday, all the horses are getting ready. Possibly one of the best among the young talents is Blind Luck.

Breeders’ Cup – Just Days Away

By Joey Adams

Well the fields are set, the post positions have been drawn and the odds have been set. Now we just have to wait until 4:10 PM (ET) on Friday when the first Breeders’ Cup race heads to the gate. Last week I gave my initial thoughts following pre-entries. Now that we know who is running, and where, here are my follow-up thoughts:

Breeders’ Cup Mystery Horses

By Aaron Huber

One of the greatest elements to the Breeders’ Cup is the world class competition that comes to the US from countries all over the world. This year will be no different – with horses from France, Great Britain, Japan, and Peru all making appearances. One of the challenges for US horseplayers is analyzing these contenders, especially if they’ve never made a start on US soil before. More often than not the betting public resigns these entries to the status of a “mystery horse” even if they are quite accomplished in their home countries. Here is a look at the top three mystery horses coming to Churchill Downs to make a bid in the Breeders’ Cup. All of them will be big prices and all have a legitimate shot to hit the board.

Euros Have a Stacked Deck in Breeders’ Cup

By Mike Dempsey

If you plan to make money at the 27th running of the Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, it would be a good idea to get to know the European shippers.

More than two dozen horses are shipping in from overseas to take on the home team, and they have a good chance of taking home a good part of the more than $25 million up for grabs.
