Each week I write a column in BloodHorse Daily on the Breeders' Cup Challenge that typically includes table information relevant to the week. But because of room constraints, I do not run all race winners to date. Since I have that information--and plenty of room on this blog--I figured I'd post it.Information is through Challenge races of Sept. 18.
