Curlin Big Brown Showdown ?

Curlin Sets Earnings Mark; Showdown With Big Brown Could Be Next - NYTimes.com:

Will Curlin race aainst Big Brown or not? Mixed messages still...

"Curlin added another major achievement to his record Saturday, becoming the richest horse in North American history with his victory in the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup at a wet Belmont Park. With few other challenges left, he may now turn his attention to what could be the most difficult assignment of his career — a showdown with the Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown.
Curlin will be shipped to Santa Anita Park in California on Sunday morning, an indication that his next race could come in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, a race that is on Big Brown’s schedule.Curlin’s owner, Jess Jackson, would not commit to the Breeders’ Cup on Saturday"

The jackpot was not won yet again so £80,001.39 is carried forward to Ascot today.

It was a long hard day at the office as well, made worse by feeling rather unwell but I did finish with a flourish with Personify winning at 8/1 in the very last race of the day at Great Leighs.

Breeders’ Cup Build up continues

A major topic amongst the racing media is the new surface at Santa Anita and the effect it may have:

Synthetic Track the Wildcard in Breeders’ Cup: "The 2008 Breeders’ Cup will be run at Santa Anita on October 24th and 25th over a new synthetic surface. The surface is a Pro-Ride surface that was installed over the summer and replaces the mess of a surface that Santa Anita had last year that wouldn’t drain and cost the track millions of dollars."

So far trainers seem to like the Pro-Ride surface better than Polytrack.

Result, Redcar Wednesday

Another poor day for me on the jackpot card at Redcarr races, so grateful to have made a profit on the placed Kellies Rocket at 14/1 but obviously I was not alone as the jackpot was not won again so £82,055.21 is carried forward to Great Leighs tonight. That would cover a heap of Xmas shopping. ( Wash my mouth out!)

I also put up a Johnston winner at Kempton in the evening on the forum.

At The Races - Trio fall foul of 'team tactics' rule

At The Races - Trio fall foul of team tactics rule: "Aidan O'Brien, Johnny Murtagh and Colm O'Donoghue have all been found guilty of breaching the rules of racing in relation to the Juddmonte International Stakes won by Duke Of Marmalade at Newmarket last month."

Wonder how this will affect tactics in the future especially regarding pacemakers and trainers making multiple entries in any one race. . .

Ramsdens in racing

Tattenham Corner:The Observer: "Ramsdens still racing on

Lynda Ramsden has retired from the training ranks, but she and husband Jack, long thought of as one of the smartest punters around, have far from severed their connections with racing. The Ramsdens have owned several horses in recent seasons with a variety of trainers including Alan Swinbank, Simon Callaghan and Ed Vaughan, often under the S P Racing Investments banner.

Many will be watching how matters develop in their link with the canny Michael Wigham, with whom they have three-year-old In Toto. The Ramsdens' son-in-law Jamie Spencer steered the Wigham-trained Ainama to land a gamble at Chester three weeks ago."

An interesting angle to pursue...

Big Brown Bandwagon rolls on

Big brown has a big reputation, attracts big crowds and acres of newsprint whenever he runs and his latest race at Monmouth was no different with over 17,000 fans turning out as reported by the Philadelphia Daily News:

"There was about a football field of racing left for Big Brown to negotiate Saturday at Monmouth Park when three horses, with the combination of 25 wins, 10 graded stakes and nearly $3 million in earnings, came at him from the inside and outside. The $500,000 Monmouth Stakes was not really the race the Big Brown people wanted to win. They were getting the Kentucky Derby winner ready for the Oct. 25 Breeders' Cup Classic.
Big Brown was trained with that race in mind. That will be the all-in contest."

However the Breeders Cup Oct. 24-25, 2008, Santa Anita, may not prove to be as easy to win for Big Brown, his trainer Dutrow reckons Big Brown is better on grass than dirt. So the first big question is how Big Brown will handle the new artificial surface at Santa Anita for the Breeders' Cup. the 2008 meeting at Santa Anita will be the first Breeders' Cup site to hold the main track races on a synthetic surface

The second question about Big Brown's ability to take this prestigious race, and possibly most crucial factor, is the sheer class of this years Breeders’ Cup contenders with some very strong European challengers. At the moment it looks as though 4 of the 6 top rated horses in the world - Duke Of Marmalade, Curlin, Big Brown and New Approach - may run, a classy field indeed!

If they do run, then the Breeders' Cup will truly be able to call itself "the world championship" of racing. But which continenent will win?

Tuesday at Yarmouth

www.racingpost.co.uk:

Christine Dunnett has a phenonemal strike rate at Yarmouth especially with her older horse, 5-32 16% +21.00 this season alone.


Hayley Turner is booked to ride Russian Rocket at 4.40 in the PETER DUNNETT MEMORIAL SPRINT HANDICAP. Hayley rode Djalalabad on the 13th Sept to win at 10/1

Spotlight "Shared the spoils with Diane´s Choice over C&D last time but a long way out of the weights in this stronger grade and needs to step up markedly on recent form"

Hmmmm, a hint or coincidence???
