Any Given Saturday Trying To Snatch A Spot in Breeders' Cup
The Breeders' Cup races are 80 days away but already Marion County horses are trying to snatch their spots in some of its 11 prestigious races.
The latest was Any Given Saturday when the 3-year-old colt won the Haskell Invitational on Sunday, putting the son of Distorted Humor in the mix for the Breeders' Cup Classic.
Trainer Todd Pletcher said on Wednesday morning that he would nominate Any Given Saturday to the $1-million Travers Stakes (G1) at the Spa on August 25, but that he is more likely to run back in the Brooklyn Breeders' Cup Handicap (G2) on September 22 at Belmont Park.
Of the four horses that have won guaranteed spots in Breeders' Cup races, the only other Ocala horse to have a berth is Diabolical. The Artax colt was sold for $300,000 in the February 2005 Ocala Breeders' Company Sales auction.
Breeders Cup qualifying races will continue through Oct. 11
Technorati tag(s): breeders cup classic, any given saturday
