Huge congrats to Louisville philanthropist Brook T. Smith after Kentucky Derby runner-up Sierra Leone - whom he co-owns with the Coolmore partnership and Peter Brant - captures the $7 million Longines Breeders' Cup Classic. Our boots - and eyes -- on the ground, Danny Brewer, gets a word with Brook before the real celebration breaks out!
Quick comment, courtesy Danny Brewer, from Kenny McPeek, the trainer and co-owner of Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Thorpedo Anna. Girl Grizzly Power!
Clark Brewster, who co-owns Cogburn with Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt, talks about the fastest horse in the world with Danny Brewer, our man on the scene at Del Mar. Cogburn, trained by Steve Asmussen, is the favorite for Saturday's $1 million Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint. Cogburn set a world record for 5 1/2 furlongs when he won Saratoga's G1 Jaipur on turf. In his next start, he won Kentucky Downs' $2 million Ainsworth Turf Sprint (G2). Video starts with the Kentucky Downs stretch run.

Our boots on the ground at Del Mar for the Breeders' Cup, Danny Brewer of horseracingscoop.com and racing contributor for WGNS and WNSR in Greater Nashville, spoke with Louisville's Brook T.

Here's link to a Breeders' Cup Newsfeed clip, produced by Hammond Productions, of Sierra Leone training Thursday https://youtu.be/YeGra2CIFsY

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR KY OWNERS & TRAINERS

Horsemen: We are printing new ballots for the Kentucky HBPA board of directors election that will include trainer Eric Foster, whose name was inadvertently left off the original ballots.

The new ballots should go out to Kentucky HBPA members in 10-12 days. The new deadline is Nov. 16 to have your ballot received by the accounting firm that counts the ballots.

None of the original ballots will be counted. Any of those ballots that already have been mailed will be voided. The new ballots will be clearly marked as the corrected ballot. … See MoreSee Less
