Horse Racing: New York to bid for 2026 Breeders' Cup; IRON MAN CAL wins in3-way-thriller; MARYLAND MILLION DAY (Oct. 12)

since this year's edition of the breeders cup is being held in del mar i decided to check out all the races from 2017. irad ortiz wins with a horse that pays $130. instead of breaking his maiden at a msw race good magic does that by winning the juvenile. lots of good horses running and getting tired real early, seemingly like they didn't even train at all leading up to their races. or could be due to already long arduous campaigns and/or not taking to the track surface. wild stuff,

I had Good Magic that race. I played him in the Champagne but he placed in that loss. I stuck with him and he paid a handsome price in the BC. That event is ridiculously difficult especially when the Euros ship for turf.

It seems Belmont (NY) is scheduled to begin its 2026 Fall meet on September 11, 2026. A Breeders' Cup bid to host in 2026 is in the plans. Saratoga hosting the 2026 Belmont Stakes is possible but the goal is for a return to Belmont.

Keeneland did over $49.6 million on opening weekend, its second highest figure ever to open a fall meet behind $49.9m in 2022.
