The Breeders' Cup Classic was an exciting, shocking result straight from a soap opera. Drosselmeyer ridden by Mike Smith charged up the outside to go past Game On Dude who had attempted to make all ridden by Smith's ex-girlfriend Chantal Sutherland. You couldn't make it up!
There was a 2009 reality TV show in the US called (inventively) Jockeys which this has brought this pair more exposure than would normally have been the case. I wish they had one over here - that would make some addictive viewing I'm sure.
Most annoying of all is that I'd thought To Honor And Serve had an outside chance but didn't cotton on that Bill Mott was also running Drosselmeyer with the better jockey aboard. Ah well - it wasn't the most profitable BC meeting for me but was super good fun to watch.
Paul Hanagan retained the Champion Jockey title for the second year running having started Saturday four ahead of Silvestre De Sousa. Silvestre had just 4 rides at Doncaster yesterday from an 8 race card...... which seems incredible to me for a top jock. Three of his rides were on rank outsiders so there wasn't much danger of him winning but wouldn't you have thought that some trainer or owner with a decent horse might have booked him just this once.
I'll be concentrating on Market Rasen today since I have a better success rate there than with Market Rasen.....selections will be added to along the way!!
