Sweet Hearth won't travel to U.S. for Cup
By Alan Shuback

http://www.drf.com/news/article/108493.html

Sweet Hearth, pre-entered in both the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile and the Filly & Mare Sprint, will not be traveling to Santa Anita for either race as she scoped badly on Thursday at her training base in Chantilly. Her trainer, Alain de Royer-Dupre, promptly withdrew her from consideration.

Sweet Hearth had finished second in the Group 1 Prix de la Foret on Oct. 4 when she was headed on the line by Varenar while finishing a half-length in front of Breeders' Cup Mile favorite Goldikova. Her defection means that there are now only two French-trained horses left in the Cup, Goldikova herself and her Freddy Head-trained stablemate Only Green, who runs in the Filly & Mare Turf Sprint.

The withdrawal of Sweet Hearth from her first preference in the Dirt Mile leaves a spot open for either Karelian or Mr. Sidney, both of whose first choices are the Mile, or for Ready's Echo, who is pre-entered solely in the Dirt Mile.

Both are hopeless.

As written above, Mr. Sidney will run in the Dirt Mile. It's likely 5 of the "AE's" for the Dirt Mile will make the race.

Still think he's hopeless.

I think Mr Sidney would have had a decent (better shot at least) in the turf sprint. I know one of these is a grade 1 and the other not even graded, but he already has a Grade 1 win on his resume. This is the kind of race (Turf Sprint) that would set up ideally for him pace wise.

I have a good friend who is part of the Obviously NY Stable. They just got word that Canadian Ballet is a go for the downhill turf.
