    Kentucky Derby points on the line in Kentucky Jockey Club, Remsen
    Thanksgiving Saturday is a big day in American racing. At Churchill Downs, McCracken and Daddy's Lil Darling top their respective fields in the Kentucky Jockey Club (G2) and Golden Rod (G2). Both are qualifiers as part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks series.

    Juveniles will also be in action at Aqueduct in other Derby and Oaks preps. Takaful will try and make it two-for-two in the Remsen (G2), while trainer Rudy Rodriguez has a three-pronged challenge in the Demoiselle (G2) for fillies.

    The feature at Aqueduct on Saturday is the $500,000 Cigar Mile (G1), led by one-turn mile specialist Anchor Down and Pennsylvania Derby (G2) winner Connect. Lewis Bay heads the Comely (G3) for three-year-old fillies.

    Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1) runner-up Om head the field in the Seabiscuit H. (G2) at Del Mar, which also hosts the Jimmy Durante (G3) for juvenile fillies on the turf.

    Clark Handicap draws salty field of 10
    The $500,000 Clark H. (G1), the Black Friday feature at Churchill Downs, has come up salty with three-year-old Gun Runner challenging older rivals Noble Bird, Hoppertunity, Effinex, and Shaman Ghost.

    James Scully gives his scouting report on each horse in Pool 1 of the 2017 Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW), while Ed DeRosa has some information you can use before betting the Kentucky Derby Sire Future Wager.

    Japanese invader Nuovo Record is looking to rebound from a lackluster Breeders' Cup try in the Red Carpet (G3) at Del Mar on Thanksgiving Day, while Ashleyluvssugar is the one to fear in Friday's Hollywood Turf Cup (G2) at the seaside course.

    Not This Time retired, withdrawn from KDFW Pool 1
    Leading two-year-old Not This Time, a close second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1), was unexpectedly retired on Monday to stand stud at Taylor Made Farm Monday after suffering a soft tissue injury. The colt was an immediate withdrawal from the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW) Pool 1, which will be held November 24-27. The Mutual Field was made the 5-2 morning line favorite, followed by likely champion Classic Empire at 8-1.

    Meanwhile, the Kentucky Derby Sire Future Wager has Tapit as the 10-1 top individual choice. The wager will be offered only once, from November 24-27.

    Thanksgiving Day brings great racing at Churchill Downs, with Include Betty and The Pizza Man the respective top weights in the $200,000 Falls City H. (G3) and $100,000 River City H. (G3).

    At Aqueduct on Turkey Day, Stallwalkin' Dude will be favored to take the venerable Fall Highweight H. (G3) under a 134-pound impost, while Green Gratto seeks to become the first male every to win the century-old race twice.

    On Thanksgiving Eve, racing fans can feast on lots of stakes action at Zia Park and Penn National

    From the weekend, Kellie Reilly recapped the final local preps for the Hong Kong International Races, as well as Mastery's comfortable victory in the Bob Hope (G3) at Del Mar.

    JAPAN CUP - Preview
    Twenty one horses are in line for the big event this week at Tokyo Racecourse and 18 of them will be taking their places in the gate come Sunday. It is the 36th running of the Japan Cup, an icon of international color and now the richest horserace in Japan.

    This year, the JRA has boosted the bounty yet again, with a Japan Cup first-place catch now up 50 million yen from last year to an incredible 300 million yen. The total purse has been raised to 624 million yen.(approx. $5.2 Million US).

    This year, three horses from abroad have made the trip to Japan, two of them repeaters, all of them Grade 1 winners. France once again fields Erupt, and Germany fields two runners – first-time participant Iquitos and Nightflower, looking to better her 11th-place finish of last year.  More at source

    Jennie Rees talked with the connections of Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) hopeful Not This Time about their plans going forward with the two-year-old.

    In the first in a series of profiles looking at the main candidates in the upcoming TwinSpires.com Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1), Lord Nelson is poised to run a big one for owner Spendthrift Farm and trainer Bob Baffert.

    Vance Hanson continued his analysis of the Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) by profiling Joking and Masochistic.

    Former Horse of the Year and dual classic winner California Chrome is looking to rewrite the history books in this year's Breeders' Cup Classic (G1). Kellie Reilly writes about the drought that has affected past winners of the Dubai World Cup (G1) and Pacific Classic (G1) in the country's richest race.

    Vance Hanson gives a brief overview of the Breeders' Cup's main two-year-old races and notes the Juvenile (G1) is highly contentious while the Juvenile Fillies (G1) is a head scratcher.

    Be sure to check out TwinSpires.com's Breeders' Cup News & Notes page on a daily basis for updated news, commentary, and photos!

    John Mucciolo has a theory on Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) contender Theory.

    Aidan O'Brien announced Sunday that Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (G1) heroine and reigning Breeders' Cup Turf (G1) champion Found will be cross-entered to the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) on Santa Anita Park's main track November 5.

    "Find the youngest child here today, and you will have the only person alive with a chance to witness this feat again. We will never see this again."  "She is retired."

    *************************************

    The Melbourne Cup is one of Australia's most prestigious annual Thoroughbred horse races. It is a 3,200 metre race for three-year-olds and over. It is the richest "two-mile" handicap in the world, and one of the richest turf races. Conducted by the Victoria Racing Club on the Flemington Racecourse as part of the spring carnival in Melbourne, Victoria, the event starts at 3pm on the first Tuesday in November and is known locally as "the race that stops a nation".

    The Melbourne Cup has a long tradition with the first race was held in 1861 over two miles (3.219 km) but was shortened to 3,200 metres (1.988 mi) in 1972 when Australia adopted the metric system. This reduced the distance by 18.688 metres (61.312 ft), and Rain Lover's 1968 race record of 3:19.1 was accordingly adjusted to 3:17.9. The present record holder is the 1990 winner Kingston Rule with a time of 3:16.3.  More at source

    FAR HILLS, SATURDAY, OTCTOBER 15: "We're very excited about the 2016 race," said Torsillieri. "We'll have live streaming for the first time, which will enable us to promote other charities. Pari-mutuel wagering is coming (2017). The New Jersey Racing Commission will be on the scene for a dry-run to help put it in place next year."
