If GOLDIKOVA is so great, and superior to Zenyatta NOT, why is'nt she running in the biggest race of them all, the " $5 MILLION DOLLAR CLASSIC ? She is a grass horse specialist is'nt she, so how can you say she is better than Zenyatta, when her record shows she's lost 20% of her races abroad ??? GO ZENYATTA, UNDEFEATED !!!

Take the "value" and go with Gio Ponti across the board, unless you want a foreigner winning our B.C. races. If Gio is right, he has the best chance of beating Goldikova. GO Gio Ponti !!!

Goldie is the best mare in the world. Every penny you bet against her is a complete waste.

Draynay we are suppose to be talking about the turf mile here. After watching Gio Ponti last race I was thinking this horse is so much better than the ones she ran against. She just kind of waited and then ran up past them. She could of beat them at any time. It was the most impressive prep race that I saw. It had nothing to do with the margin but the way she ran by them easily. Gio will be on my win ticket list for this race. This race should be a good one to watch.

Anyone who places Zenyatta up there with Goldikova and Quality Road is helpless

Most of the horses ranked on the Time Form rating haven't beaten a single male on dirt in their lives either. What's your point?

LA sure is the City of Champions, Tizzy. In addition to our 11-time NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers, there's also our 11-time men's basketball NCAA champion UCLA Bruins and our 11-time football champion USC Trojans. (Anyone noticing a trend there?) Not to mention our 5-time World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Don't forget 10-time world champion boxer Oscar De La Hoya. And we're the home of Horseracing World Champions like Sunday Silence, Point Given, Ferdinand, John Henry, Swaps and two-time BC Classic winner Tiznow.

To those who say that winning the recognized world championship in their sport doesn't mean anything, my reply is to ask five-time NBA champion Laker Kobe Bryant what winning championships mean. He'll tell you it's the only thing that matters. That's why he spent last summer learning post moves from Hakeem Olajuwon, while pretenders to his throne were lounging on South Beach or shooting music videos.

When Zenyatta hopefully wins her world championship and brings it home with her, she'll be in good company here in Los Angeles - the Company of Champions.

Right on Jim C. The rest of the milers better bring their running shoes if they want to catch Sidney's Candy. And with all due respect Goldikova, that includes YOU.

re: A Gold Mine in the Mile?

Sidney's Candy at 12-1? When can I sign up?

P val has 4 mounts for the Breeders Cup. Nice to see him on the comeback trail and finally being able to race in KY again.

Rock, Kathmanblu looked great coming down the lane. I told the BLOG LORD Jason last week to watch out for this filly in whatever her next race would be b/c she was going to win, and that she had been working her male counterpart 2 yo's off of their feet. Next stop, Nov 5th Churchill downs to take on the Euro's

re: A Gold Mine in the Mile?

draynay — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 03:53:38 GMT

timeform ranking Zenyatta with Quality Road is a complete joke. Zenyatta hasn't beat a single male on dirt in her life and never will.

To The Rock: HRTV will be televising Champions Day live starting at 9:30 a.m. this Saturday.

You can get the live stream at hrtv.com if you don't have HRTV on your dish/cable, but there's a subscription fee. Subscription rates are here: www.hrtvlive.com/.../registerform

You can bet the Newmarket races at Xpressbet. But Xpressbet does NOT offer audio/video of the Newmarket races, so you can only place bets there with no streaming.

As far as I know TVG will not air Champions Day, at least not live.

This might turn out to be the deepest BC Mile ever if all the stars show up. However, IMO the best BC Mile winner was Lure, a back to back winner ridden each time by Mike Smith and who fired off 112 Beyers in each race. Unlike Goldi and Miesque who came from behind, Lure did all the work and virtually lead both races througout, winning them by three and 2 1/4.

I'm referring to the Breeders Cup champion, not the HOY. Sorry, but too much emphasis has been placed on HOY and I am losing interest. It is kind of like Nascar. What is most important to the fans, the winner of the Daytiona 500 or the points champion? I'll take the Daytona 500.

city of champions?? in one sport maybe-----but z's races almost all in la area---so shes the la champ-----if she wins the bcc then and only then will she be considered the hoy-----if she had only come to the spa she would have gotten more respect----but beating up on inferior competition race after race----just think about it-----------goldi--paco--gio---what a trifecta of grass specialists----best mile ever!!

Livesoutwest,

Speak for yourself, please. I come from New York but live in Seattle now and I am proud to cheer Zenyatta on. She is America's Queen.

re: A Gold Mine in the Mile?

The Rock — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 22:27:06 GMT

Wow, Kathmanblu was very impressive in the Jessamine. Wide trip and a huge spurt turning for home. Very similar run as Winter Memories. Definite threat to the later if entered in the Juvy Fillies Turf.

Looking forward too the pick 4's and 3's (mostly 4's) at the BC.

There stands too be a lot of short priced favorites in the last one leading too the classic. You figure Workforce will be no better than 2/1 if he shows and that is probably too high. Goldikova will be 7/5 at best and Zenyatta will be 2/1 or less. That leaves the sprint and that one may not have a favorite less than 7/2.

Surely one of the favorites will hit and possibly two but I doubt three. With all the singles that will be spreadout between the three horses I named (assuming they show) there will be BIG opportunities.

This will be a perfect opportunity to use multiple tickets on the pik 4 (instead of a caveman). If you can beat any of the three (considering you will at least get a decent price in the sprint), you will get a decent pay. Two out of the three beaten and a winning ticket or two could be special. Of course, a bonanza awaits if you can beat all three (which I will try at least once or twice, especially with the 50 cent option).

Plus, you have great options to back up your bigger pik 4's with either 50 cent pick 4's or 50 cent pik 3's. Can you freakin' believe they have 50 cent pik 3's (not too mention 10 cent supers and 50 cent tri's and dollar doubles)? Best day of the year with the best wagering menu at a BC ever!

Longshot lovers dream.

I know there will be 50 cent pik 3's paying a thousand or more on more than a couple of sequences (I just do, that's how).

I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!

Sorry for the rant but I did manage too mention Goldikova in the mile (topic), lol.

If Prince Will I Am hits the board in the Turf, I'll turn in to a Dodger's fan.

On a seperate note, its good to see the best 3 year old turf fillies hitting it off in a G1 race. That's how it supposed to be. In fact, the 3 year old fillies have been doing it right this year instead of avoiding each other. It'd be nice if they traveled west though...

The price of "Gold" has never been higher, this is where to put your money, "Candy" is sweet, but only sets this up for the best investment.
