  • Pilgrim S (GIIIT) 200k 2yo 8.5f Turf
  • Vosburgh (GI) BC 350k 3&up 6f Dirt
Santa Anita all stakes
  • Awesome Again S (GI) BC 300k 3&up 9f Dirt
  • Chandelier S (GI) BC 300k 2yo f 8.5f Dirt

  • Rodeo Drive S (GIT) BC 300k 3&up f/m 10f Turf

An early Happy Birthday to you young fellow. And congrats on yet another points win.

The 9 stakes races you listed all sound like races from which we will see a bunch of BC runners. I'm all for it if our scorers don't mind.

Works for me. It's what we played last year.

You should be ready. You won it last year :)

RQ, there is no end to your access to useful facts. :tro: I would never want to get into a debate with you when you can at will come up with such nuggets.

By any chance, do you know whether we have played all stakes cards on consecutive weekends? I ask because it looks as if the numerous stakes races at Belmont and Keeneland on October 7 also will have significant appeal for those getting ready for the BC.

As John Sterling would say, "back to back and belly to belly". Last year in consecutive weeks we played BEL/SAX and BEL/KEE. With the Breeders Cup approaching it's good with me to include the Graded Stakes leading up to it.

OK, I'll remember that . . for this year anyway!?:rolleyes: I don't want to put undue pressure on myself but we have not had a three-peat yet this year!?!?
