Bricks and Mortar on fence for Breeders' Cup Turf
Steve Andersen Bricks and Mortar, unbeaten leader of the American turf division this year, may start in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile instead of the $4 million Breeders’ Cup Turf, trainer Chad Brown said earlier this week. Both races are Nov. 2 at Santa Anita. Brown added that whichever race the seven-time stakes winner runs in, he is unlikely to race before then. Bricks and Mortar won his fifth stakes of 2019 in the Arlington Million at 1 1/4 miles on Aug. 10 at Arlington Park. |
It makes no sense to me why you would go for
less money in a much tougher race. Last time Bricks & Mortar raced at a mile was a year ago. Lots of people love the cut back angle but most BC winners are specialists at their respective distance |

This is true, but I still think he has
a better chance and more money in the turf |

It's a reasonable discussion. |
Enable's connections contemplating final career start in Turf
@DRFSteve Andersen ~ Oct 09, 2019 The role of favorite for the $4 million Breeders’ Cup Turf on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita may become clear in the next week. Enable, the brilliant mare who was second in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris on Sunday and won the 2018 BC Turf at Churchill Downs, may be sent to California for a final career start. Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager for owner Khalid Abdullah’s Juddmonte Farms, wrote in an email Tuesday that a decision on Enable’s plans will be made “in the coming week or so.” Enable would be a solid favorite if she runs in the BC Turf. A winner of 13 of 15 starts, Enable, 5, was 4-5 in the 2018 BC Turf. There is a contingent of highly rated European runners under consideration, including Waldgeist and Japan, who were first and fourth in the Arc de Triomphe; and Anthony Van Dyck, who won the English Derby in June. |
Kind of surprising with the BC in California. Seems they talk about her always wanting some give in the turf.
|
With Bricks and Mortar kind of stuck in the middle between the Mile and Turf, if he were yours, would you consider the Classic? This is such a weak Classic that it might be just the time for a non traditional type to take it.

Uni is a miler. She belongs in the mile. Sistercharlie, as good as she is would get drowned in the Turf. She belongs in the F & M Turf. |
