Bayern and The Breeders' Cup Classic

First off I would like to say, congratulations to Baffert on his seventh Haskell win. Yup, his seventh! That is so mind-blowing to me. As a USToday blog posted, "When Baffert enters a horse in the Haskell, you really have to consider that horse."

I do believe, despite what others say, that Untapable's bad start was a factor in her 5th place. But I will admit that Untapable cannot compete with this caliber of colts at this point in time. Perhaps when she grows and fills out more, she will have much more of an advantage over the males.

According to the Breeders' Cup website the following horses are contenders for the Breeders' Cup.

So far, so good for the Baffert trainee. But will the colt repeat in the Classic? Will he even race in the Classic? Only time will tell. 

Until next time,
