Maybe it is me, but two weeks to the Breeders Cup yet it seems the anticipation for the event is not building much. Maybe it is the West Coast location again or maybe the number of "name" horses who will not be running in 2 weeks.With Macho Again off the trail, I think I can name more horses not going in the BC this year than those that are showing up.
Trainer Dallas Stewart did not want to go west with a horse not 100%, deciding to "do right by the horse". Don't ever think these trainers don't care about these animals. They are treated better than most pet dogs I have met, something I wish those outside the industry would understand better.
Now I am off to read some European blogs so I can learn about some of these horses.

The Breeders Cup is Dead. No interest by owners, trainers or fans. they have out priced themselves to everyone especially the cost of nominations and supplements.
It appears that Val has assembled a nice starter list for BC no-shows. Lemme ad another:
Dublin (Juvenile)
Valerie-Thanks for the list!
Sue-thanks for the add on. Here is another one-Flashing (F&M Sprint) is also not going.
Thanks all for reading
