Suedois is out of the @BreedersCup Turf Sprint per racing manager Joe Foley. Injury does not seem career threatening.
He was injured on the turf course during a gallop I think... that's 2 in 2 days. Hope the course is tip top.
Also Lady Shipman has officially scratched, which opens up the door for Green Mask... now that Suedois is out)

ARRRRGGGG
Home of the Brave is my tepid top choice; I would also give support to A Lot, Holy Lute, Obviously, and Celestine.. more or less in that order. Not really sure what I'm doing with this one yet, but probably exacta and/or tri only.
My only sentimental play o'the day, HOLY LUTE.
Connections of Class Racing, they were my introduction into partnership horse owning and are good guys, wishing them well.
