Pre-entries and my super quick take on the Breeders' Cup for those with a low attention span. Race: Filly and Mare Sprint: My Picks: Indian Blessing, Jazzy, Miraculous Miss, Dearest Trickski, and Intangaroo.

I want to talk about National Thoroughbred Racing Association's summer of racing and how they have done PR wise. Let's get down to it.
