Breeders' Cup Day Weather - Not Favorable

After a nice spring, an unreal summer and a comfortable autumn at the Jersey Shore, it figured to be a safe bet that the Breeders' Cup at Monmouth Park would take place under ideal weather conditions.

But the races on Saturday, which will take place rain or shine — including the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic, expected to be watched by a sellout crowd of 45,000 and a global television audience of millions — may indeed be run in the rain.

With 0.8 of an inch of rain having already fallen as of Thursday morning, and a forecast that calls for the possibility of another 1 1/2 inches by Saturday morning, Mother Nature seems intent on having an impact on this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships.

According to the Weather Channel, there was an 80 percent chance of rain on Friday and another 80 percent chance on Saturday, though Saturday's forecast called for thunderstorms as opposed to steadier precipitation.

Showers Forecast for Breeders' Cup Saturday

With showers forecast for Oceanport, N.J., on Saturday, the weather could be a factor on the second day of the Oct. 26-27 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Monmouth Park.

According to the Weather Channel Web site, weather.com, showers are possible Saturday, with a high temperature in the upper 60s and lows in the mid-50s. On Friday, when the three new Breeders’ Cup races will be part of the race card, the forecast is for partly cloudy skies with the same high and low temperature ranges as Saturday.

Because Monmouth’s main track is a traditional dirt surface, rain could result in a track labeled "good," "sloppy," "muddy" or in some cases, "wet fast." Some horses do not perform well on “off” tracks, while others have an affinity for them.

Rain also has an affect on the grass races; the condition of the course will be indicated by the terms “good,", “soft," or “yielding.” Europeans horses generally have more experience on such surfaces because of the weather pattern in Europe and the higher percentage of races run on the grass. If you bet on Breeders' Cup races, please consider the weather factors.

Breeders' Cup Pre-Entries: Pletcher again has small army

The deadline to submit pre-entries for the 11 Breeders' Cup races was Monday. The pre-entered fields will be announced on Wednesday. Final entries will be taken and post positions drawn for all 11 races next Tuesday at Monmouth Park, which will be hosting the Breeders' Cup for the first time. Three new Breeders' Cup races - the $1 million Juvenile Turf, $1 million Filly and Mare Sprint, and $1 million Dirt Mile - will be run on Oct. 26. The eight traditional Breeders' Cup races - topped by the $5 million Classic - will be run Oct. 27.

Trainer Todd Pletcher has 15 horses pre-entered. He set a record last year with 18 pre-entries. Breeders' Cup Ltd. will not release a complete list of pre-entries until Wednesday morning, but Pletcher indicated he has representatives for six of the 11 World Championships races.

Grade 1 winners Any Given Saturday and Lawyer Ron are Pletcher’s contenders for the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic. English Channel, Icy Atlantic, Honey Ryder, and Sunriver are pre-entered in the John Deere Breeders’ Cup Turf. Icy Atlantic, winner of the Red Bank Stakes at Monmouth on September 1, also is pre-entered in the NetJets Breeders’ Cup Mile, and Honey Ryder has first preference in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf.

Pletcher also has four pre-entries in the Emirates Airline Breeders’ Cup Distaff —Indian Vale, Octave, Panty Raid, and Unbridled Belle. Panty Raid, winner of the Juddmonte Spinster Stakes on October 7, also is pre-entered in the Filly and Mare Turf with the Distaff as her first preference.

Wait a While is another Pletcher candidate for the Filly and Mare Turf, and Host (Chi), a stakes winner at Monmouth in May, is pre-entered in the Breeders’ Cup Mile.

Pletcher pre-entered stakes winners The Leopard and Why Tonto and maiden winner Cowboy Cal in the new Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf.

Breeders' Cup Qualifiers

Hard Spun won a rematch of the one-two finishers from the Kentucky Derby when he edged Street Sense in the Kentucky Cup Classic at Turfway Park. But Street Sense, the Derby winner, ran well in defeat. Then there is Tiago, who jumped into the Classic picture Saturday when defeating older horses in the Goodwood at Santa Anita. It may turn out that Any Given Saturday is the best of the bunch. He has won three in a row, including the Brooklyn on Sept. 22. Lawyer Ron is his stablemate, and still another Classic contender.

Preakness winner Curlin stated his case yesterday, beating Lawyer Ron by a neck after a riveting stretch duel in the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park.

Curlin not only re-established his credentials as a leading 3-year-old, but could wind up as the favorite for the Classic based on his win against racing's top older horse, Lawyer Ron. In addition, Curlin won over the Classic distance of 1¼ miles, and has a race over the Monmouth Park track, site of the $23 million, 11-race, two-day Breeders' Cup on Oct. 26-27.

In three earlier “Win and You're In” Breeders' Cup qualifying races at Belmont, Fabulous Strike won the Vosburgh Stakes to qualify for the Breeders' Cup Sprint; English Channel won the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic to grab a spot in the Breeders' Cup Turf; and Unbridled Belle won the Beldame to earn a place in the Breeders' Cup Distaff.

Curlin ($6.20) easily covered the 1¼ miles in 2:01.20. The victory was worth $450,000 and boosted the colt's earnings to $2.4 million.
