We're still attempting to digest the bizarre fare that was fed us at the Nov. 4 and 5 Breeders' Cup smorgasbord that left so many people hungrier than when they went in. Here are a few of the leftovers or random thoughts and questions....

While I'm still attempting to digest the bizarre fare that was fed us on Nov. 4 and 5, I'll post my Blood-Horse magazine Classic recap until I can figure out just why so many people left this so-called championship smorgasbord hungrier than when they went in. Instead of Uncle Mo we got Uncle Drosselmeyer, who presented everyone with quite a nutcracker. We're still picking up the shells....

The first inclination would be to dismiss Dullahan's chances in the Juvenile, based on his two mediocre performances over the Churchill Downs dirt surface in his first two career starts. That would be a mistake....

It is safe to say that never before have three consecutive graded stakes on a single card – at a mile, 1 1/8 miles for fillies and mares, and 1 1/4 miles - produced the three favorites for the Breeders' Cup Classic.

This column has nothing to do with the defection of Tizway from next Saturday's Jockey Club Gold Cup, as disappointing as it was, or the horses that will be competing in the mile and a quarter event, even though at this point a good portion of the field appears as if it will be made of horses more likely to point for the BC Marathon.
