Thoughts on the 2015 Breeders Cup Races . . .

[DonGuido]

1. Thrilled about American Pharoah and the results and style in which he did it. Dominating performance, great ride by Espinoza and brilliant training by Baffert. I can only imagine what a thrill it must have been to watch it in person. What's even more endearing about him is that when he's not racing, he's like your best friend's puppy dog when you get around him. As many have said and Baffert too, a once in a lifetime horse.

BTW - Very nice straight trifecta JolyB in the Classic. Not sure how you saw Effinex for the place spot but you were spot on. Hope you had some real money on that exacta or tri.

2. Songbird looks to be the real deal came home a second faster than Nyquist. Way to early to tell but she may be Derby material?

3. Runhappy and the Maria Borell story is great. And Prado riding and beating Private Zone at that in very respectable time 1:08 and change. All I can say is WOW and very cool all around. I'm thinking Maria will be getting many more horses now and be welcomed into the fraternity of trainers with open arms.
