Lava's 3rd Hollywood Gold Cup ... I was right there with my nose on the finish line! Most exciting and historic race that I've ever witnessed in person!

I hit the trifecta on it too! Paid $185.90 ... Always loved Big Booster and this day ... he made this trifecta for me ... Damn near stole the win too!

I soooo wanted AP Xcellent to win this one....

And speaking of one of the greatest, I fondly recall starting a thread "over there" entitled "Zenyatta, the next Personal Ensign"  after watching this race. Everyone thought I was nuts.

OOOHHH - the second race got me on board!

Coverage was awful - folks did not know where to go to see it and trust me many Normal folks do not have NBCSN and that is a shame that this big day could not be seen....BLAH

Very cool - now I need to check to see what time here= THANKS!

WOW and LOCAL NBC has Breeders Cup on SPorts = what do they report and show video of??

BC Classic

Breakdown in Juv Fillies

DQ of She's A Tiger

MUCH more focus on the negative than the Positive - and BC and horse racing get more Black eyes = 

Thoughts and prayers to JV = and family = so unfortunate - yet hopefully he can recover = a fabulous rider and good guy = My star wishes for him ..

. . . I thought Strong Mandate ran huge, given he was rushed to the lead, went about 6 wide on the first turn, and set a strong pace.

Not sure what happened to Havana.  Did he tire or just stop running after he made the lead?

New Year's Day will never get a better trip.  His win was nowhere as good as it looked, IMO.

May not have been as it looked - but it paid - and I cashed - so I am good..

BACK TO TOPIC - Who is going - I am = Cigarshop is - what a fabulous couple of days! Weather looks PERFECT!

Tin Man, if you are going to the Breeders' Cup, you will be hearing Trevor, who will be calling all of the Breeders' Cup races for the fans at Santa Anita, Breeders' Cup simulcast Network on RTN, breederscup.com, calracing.com, xpressbet.com, and the Horse Racing Radio Network live while Larry Collmus, who will be calling all of these races exclusively on NBC Sports Network and NBC. By the way, on October 20th, after I received the news that Conan O'Brien will be Trevor Denman's guest for the second race last Friday, what I decided to do on that day is to do my own race call of the same race that Mr. O'Brien called at home, and listen to Trevor's call of the other seven races from the Santa Anita Autumn Meet, instead of doing my own race call of all the races from Golden Gate Fields, on the 25th.

I'd much rather hear Vic ... But what can you do?

Trevor will do in a pinch ... When Vic isn't available.

The bright side is that Hollywood Park is about to start ... So we'll get Vic for another 7 weeks or so!

I so agree - I love Vic -

Maybe we should rename the thread "Who's Going to Hollywood Park?"   

OK ... I'll be there EVERY weekend ...

And they're gonna have to pry my hands off of it to get me to let go of it after closing day ends!   

ME TOO! Would be nice to meet you finally! I am going as much as I can while I can.

You must give the Ramseys a HUGE KUDO - they have always believed in and supported their horses - they are there when they win ( lose or draw) great for horseracing

A forgotten champ - Thank you for sharing that! Amazing heart he had

Just wanted to keep this one

From the Exceller Fund - Verifiable - Son of Secretariat - So very sad - at least he had a year to run free.. Condolences to all who cared for him .
