Breeders' Cup Live Blog

Will be updated throughout the day right after each BC race.

Marathon: Eldaafer wins, with Prince Will I Am second. However, Prince Will I Am was DQ'ed to 10th. Gabrial's Hill was moved up to second and A.U. Miner who crossed the line fourth was moved up to third.

However, Calvin Borel (who was on A.U. Miner) and Javier Castallano (who was on Prince Will I Am) got into a fight in the winners circle. Very shocking for the calm natured Borel and Castallano.

Juvenile Fillies Turf: More Than Real shocks Winter Memories. There was an objection that was denied. It's the first BC win for her owner the Celebrity Chef Bobby Flay (although I'm a HUGE fan of his wife Stephane March who played ADA Alex Cabot on Law and Order: SVU).

Filly/Mare Sprint: Dubai Majesty wins, Switch ran very well in second and Evening Jewel was third.

Juvenile Fillies: Calvin Borel is escorted to paddock by security for his ride on Tell A Kelly. The Undefeated Awesome Feather was able to get the win for the little guys. R Heat Lightning was second.

Filly/Mare Turf: USA! USA! Graham Motion finally wins the F/M Turf. After finishing 2nd, 3rd and 2nd with Film Maker. Shared Account's owner is also the owner of Under Armor. The second longest shot to win a BC race. Her sire Pleasently Perfect joins Unbridled, Unbridled's Song and Awesome Again among others to win a BC race then sire a winner. Defending Champion Midday was second.

Ladies Classic: Unriveled Belle wins with Blind Luck in second and Havre de Grace in third. Unfortanlly Life at Ten should have been scratched, but wasn't.

It's been a very interesting day to say the least. There was fight, a DQ, a chef winning,the owner of a sports undergarment company winning in a huge upset, an the editor of the premier insperational books also winning. There won't be a Live Blog tomorrow as I have to go to work just before the Juvenile :(. However I will have my picks going up at 11 am and then a recap of the Weekend on Sunday.
