Breeder's Cup 2008: BC Sprint and BC Turf

The Turk finally broke through with a Superfector win in the BC Sprint. I fared better then Little Turk's soccer team.

The BC Turf finds me looking for Soldier of Fortune, Grand Courtier, Eagle Mountain and Dancing Forever.

The Little Turk likes Out of Control, decked out in Calumet Farm's silks (nice).

I'm taking a 2 dollar flyer on Winchester.

Breeder's Cup 2008: Turf Sprint and Dirt (ahem) Mile

The Turk never pretends to be something he's not. I wrote "Grade 1 failure" next to 36-1 Desert Code in the PP. Congratulations to the connections, again very likeable people (as opposed to Dutrow- Did anyone hear him open his trap and say something stupid again yesterday?

Mr. Nightlinger flew out sideways when he went from the turf to the dirt. My ticket was cooked.

In Race 3 comes the Pro Ride Faux Dirt Mile. The Big Turk is looking for the following four in a boxed 10 cent superfecta: Well Armed, Albertus Maximus, Mast Track and Surf Cat.

I'll be placing 2 bucks on Well Armed.

Little Turk likes Mast Track to win.

Breeder's Cup Marathon and Turf Sprint

A great way to kick off day 2. The 1 1/2 mile race was a 1 1/16 walk in the park and a jail break from the top of the lane into the stretch. Church Service closed like a freight train, but Muhannak and his very likeable connections pulled out a thriller to cash $26.80.

After yesterday, I was worried that Euro's wouldn't even be competitive, but that notion just went the wayside.

Race 2 is the about 6 1/2f Turf Sprint.

I'm looking at another boxed 10 cent Superfector. I like Mr. Nightlinger, One Union, True to Tradition and Idiot Proof. I'm also placing a 2 dollar win bet on Mr. Nightlinger and Fleeting Spirit.

Little Turk likes the 4 yo filly, Only Answer.
