Tips/Thoughts on Breeders' Cup tickets this year?

Is Lady Marian coming? If so, she's got a huge shot

Wasn't following the event in 2003, so I have no idea what the fields were like, where the winners came from, or how the turf course was playing. If it continues as it is presently, late runs and wide trips won't work. But I appreciate the general comments.

think this could be moved to the sticky.. lady marian is scheduled i think, but i think she'll need soft ground to be seen at her best. I think most Nayefs need a bit of cut...

Oh, I didn't know that........hmm. Well, she's interesting in any case - thanks!

The first thing I thought was... the euros will hate it. They did well last time? Don't remember, must not have cashed.

This is a very interesting race. Wait A While will be very tough over that course. If Forever Together gets some pace though, I don't think there is a filly or mare in the world right now, that hasn't been retired, that can beat her. Her late kick is as good as any horse running right now. I think the heat is the only thing that can beat her.

FT is a real nice filly, but I prefer Mauralakana going 10 furlongs on firm turf.

She has absolutely destroyed the top fillies and mares 2x this year. The Diana was no fluke as she showed at Keeneland. The races were not even competitive. The only loss was on a yielding turf in Canada.

A win and she is the Eclipse winner. She will have to deal with heat and distance, although I doubt distance is really going to be an issue.
