Breeders’ Cup Blogging
– I’m leaving for Monmouth early Friday, joining Alan in the auxiliary press box to live blog the Breeders’ Cup.
– Odds and ends: Forefathers has been scratched from the Dirt Mile. He’ll run in the Sprint on Saturday instead … Aidan O’Brien plans to send All My Loving out in blinkers for the Filly and Mare Turf. The last time All My Loving wore blinkers, she finished ninth as the favorite … Euro shipper Timarwa had a little colic when she arrived on Monday, but trainer John Oxx reports the filly has bounced back well. “She’s improved day by day,” he told TDN … John Shirreffs has an iPhone, and it’s giving the trainer a lousy weather forecast … Timeform rates Discreet Cat 8lbs clear of the Dirt Mile field and trainer Saeed bin Suroor is strikingly confident. “He has a brilliant chance.”
