As the Breeders’ Cup draws ever nearer, a bewildering array of Grade 1 races at Keeneland, Santa Anita, Woodbine and Belmont at the Big A tonight UK time.
Three Grade 1s and a Grade 2 featuring Golden Pal (8.38) at the first named – the 2yo Forte in the 10.14 is another I would recommend watching closely.
I’d say the 9.20 at Belmont at the Big A lies between War Like Goddess and my old friend Gufo, who did me a good turn at Saratoga in the summer.
And later on at Santa Anita, while I am no fan of the trainer, it’s not Cave Rock’s fault whose yard he’s in and this immensely-talented son of Arrogate sets a clear standard, I feel.
Enjoy!

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"So many BC qualifiers and preps this weekend, hard to keep track…
My main interest is Moira who’s contesting the E.P. Taylor Stakes (G1) at Woodbine.
Also of interest is the Coolmore Turf Mile S. (G1) at Keeneland. Christophe Soumillon is named to ride Australia, I thought he was to start serving his suspension following the Arc weekend? How many lives does this cat have?
For anyone interested, here’s a link to some info about a few of the key runners:

Good luck, have fun!
All eyes on golden pals prep run for me
Hoping to see an impressive win as I’m on for the Breeders cup turf sprint
As am I, FF.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I just hope they don’t try to hold onto him like they did last time and use his early pace which is his main weapon
Much though I like Highfield Princess I don’t think she would be able to lie up with – or consequently ever get anywhere near – Golden Pal if he just blasts off in front on his favoured quick ground.
One way to ride this horse – jump off in front and keep improving your position thereafter!

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Golden Pal impressive enough there, I felt.
Broke well, soon led, went clear turning for home, reduced lead near finish but jockey simply nursing him home, I thought.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"A new stakes track record according to the American commentator for golden pal
Highfield princess will need to be truly exceptional to beat this lad
I agree.
Golden Pal ought to be favourite tbh.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"He will be a short priced fav on the day
Highfield princess will be much less popular with the American punters, I’m hoping to be able to get a saver on her at 3/1-4/1 once it goes to live prices
Completely agree – the prices on the USA pari-mutuel on the day are likely to differ from those of the UK bookmakers currently.
It’s a Classic case of a race being priced up because British punters are expected to back the British runner.
Golden Pal has disappointed over here, but he’s an entirely different proposition Stateside.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Iv backed him antepost at nice price for both his breeders cup wins
Very hopeful he makes it 3 from 3
Good performance from war like goddess
Perhaps the best named mare in training
Could see her winning the BC fillies and mares but I can see adayar running in the BC turf and think he may have too much ability for her
Appleby also has nations pride and yibir for thar race be interesting to see what he runs
Decisive win for War Like Goddess at Belmont At The Big A, but her task was surely made easier after Gufo put in a below-par display.
Rebel Romance may run in the Breeders’ Cup Turf, but I think Nations Pride would be a better type for the race.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I see Chad brown has the top 3 in the market in the grade 1 at keeneland coming up and all 3 have top jockeys on them
Very much a watching brief
I agree.
Golden Pal’s Breeders’ Cup odds now collapsing with the UK bookmakers.
