Jack Christopher doubly entered, but big chance if he goes here.
Doesn’t really stay 1m1f, but this looks ideal.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"November 5, 2022 at 17:21 #1621781What a brilliant story around Cody’s wish
Really quite emotional
You could hear it in the presenters voices after he won, they were struggling to talk
November 5, 2022 at 17:29 #1621785Amazing story. What were the chances that foal would turn out to be a champion? Coming to a cinema near you in a couple of years time!
November 5, 2022 at 17:30 #1621786One of the great Breeders cup moments was that. All it missed was Cody reuniting with Cody after the race.
November 5, 2022 at 17:31 #1621787I don’t often get emotional about a horse’s backstory but man, Cody’s Wish got me. Reminds me why I love this sport.

No financial involvement but was cheering him on
They went an absolutely suicidal early gallop again, some of the American jockeys seem to be very much lacking in common sense
Ironic that a horse called slow down Andy helped set that ridiculous pace
22s for the opening 2 furlongs in a mile race
November 5, 2022 at 17:49 #1621796Yes, one of the great moments in the Breeders Cup!

It’s not a jockey thing, it’s drilled into the horses: gate speed, gate speed, gate speed. My theory is that Bobby Frankel, Todd Pletcher and Bob Baffert who all started out training Quarter Horses brought that strategy over and it became the accepted way of doing things because the big guys were doing it and winning.
