By Ray Wallin In 2008, three new Breeders’ Cup races were added — the Turf Sprint, the Marathon, and the Juvenile Fillies Turf. The Marathon would be discontinued after the 2013 running. While the Juvenile Fillies Turf would feature dominant winners in its short history, the Turf Sprint would conversely show a lot of great finishes in the 11 runnings of this race. The total margin of victory in the 11 races is only 6 3/4 lengths, giving this short-lived BC race its own list of top finishes. So whether you are a casual racing fan or you make your

By Margaret Ransom California-based jockey Flavien Prat will be aboard the Korea-based grade 1 winner Blue Chipper for the Breeders’ Cup Big Ass Fans Dirt Mile (GI), agent Derek Lawson confirmed on Wednesday.

It was not an easy trip for the colt based in Italy who has now won 12 straight races, but until last Saturday none away from his homeland.

By Ray Wallin Whether you are a casual racing fan or you make your living playing the races, the Breeders’ Cup offers great excitement and value. The Breeders’ Cup Turf may have produced the greatest finishes of the Breeders’ Cup races, including the only dead heat in BC history when High Chaparral and Johar hit the finish line together in 2003. Interestingly, there have been no winners of this race that were older than five years old. #1 The Lone BC Dead Heat In 2003, High Chaparral was back to defend his 2002 win. He would find himself hitting the
