Is there already a thread for this race?

If not here goes..
More than any horse running @ Breeders Cup,
I want this horse to win. American Theorem.

My BC 💜 Horse.

Jack Christopher & Jackie's Warrior... meh.

Any one of a number
could best these two.
I'll tell you more about it...
but first
you gotta argue with me. 😝

PS. Slow Down Andy hits the board.
An honest hard-working thoroughbred.
O'Neill knows what he's doing. I like.

Three-time Grade 1 winner Jack Christopher was not entered Monday for Saturday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland owing to concerns from his connections that the horse would be scratched before race day by Breeders’ Cup veterinarians based on how the horse moves in his training, according to trainer Chad Brown.

Dell, beware, I also like this horse for a win wager.

Anyone else like Flash of Mischief here at 30/1 ? Unfashionable connections to say the least but he does sport the highest Brisnet figure last time out

No shot Bev! 😁

1. Broberg has also been a controversial figure at times, having been excluded from Remington Park in 2013 after The Jockey Club suspended privileges from him for having four medication violations in close succession. Broberg fought the Remington ban in court and was ultimately allowed back, but saw his stalls revoked again in 2020. More recently, the trainer spoke out about testing issues in Louisiana, where the state's laboratory detected found three drugs, including a Class 1 substance, in a post-race sample from one of his horses. Split sample testing was negative for all three substances.

2. Last September, Churchill Downs, Inc. banned trainer Karl Broberg from the entry box at its parent company's racetracks after an incident involving a voided claim led to what CDI alleged as neglect.

When racing began at the CDI-owned Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, La., however, the Louisiana Racing Commission insisted that only state racing stewards could legally exclude Broberg from racing. Commission chair Benjamin Guilbeau argued that since the Kentucky commission did not take action against Broberg, the trainer's license remained in good standing.

Broberg wound up starting 40 horses at last year's Fair Grounds race meet, per Equibase, running out earnings of $152,900. For comparison, the trainer started 76 horses at the 2020-2021 race meet.


A year later, reports nola.com, District Judge Robin Giarrusso has ruled that CDI does have the right to exclude Broberg from its properties, including Fair Grounds. In addition, the judge has sent the alleged neglect case to the stewards so that Broberg can argue it in front of them. Louisiana Racing Commission executive director Charles Gardiner told nola.com that a closed hearing has been tentatively scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 20, at Evangeline Downs in Opelousas, La.

Racing at Fair Grounds is scheduled to begin on Nov. 18, 2022.

Yes  and Slow Down Andy also

No Jack Christopher pressing and Jackie’s Warrior drawn to the outside… he airs and is my single. Kimari chases to no avail and runs 2nd.

[damascus]

Short answer to your question Bev, YES, Flash of Mischief has a real shot here having run as fast as Kimari and having a surprising amount of class in his background. Notably having run against some pretty nice horses going a longer distance and carrying speed and acquitting himself nicely against those others. I like the outside post so he can ease over in behind Jackie who will go to the front. At the price he is a no brainer to be included in vertical wagers.

[ozzy]

Only thing that scares me is that figure is so much higher than anything else he has run. Not trying to talk anyone out of a 30-1 shot however.
