  • Effinex and La Verdad Excel Running Second in Their Breeders' Cup Races
    Effinex and La Verdad Excel Running Second in Their Breeders’ Cup Races By Bill Heller Finishing second is a lot easier to accept when you include perspective. In horse racing, perspective comes from realizing just how tough the competition was and by remembering that finishing second can be quite lucrative. Such realizations come every year in the Breeders’ Cup, and this year’s edition was no exception. Two New York-breds, Tri-Bone Stables’ four-year-old colt Effinex and Lady Sheila Stables’ five-year-old mare La Verdad, distinguished themselves in last Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland, finishing second in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic and the $1 million Filly & Mare Sprint, respectively. Effinex is a son of Mineshaft out of What a Pear by E Dubai who was bred by Dr. Russell Cohen, a veterinarian, for his mother Bernice, who races as Tri-Bone Stables. Effinex is Tri- Bone Stables’ only horse. La Verdad is a daughter of Yes It’s True out of Noble Fire by Hook and Ladder who was bred by Eklektikos Stable and was purchased two years ago by Sheila Rosenblum, who races as Lady Sheila Stables, an all-female syndicate using Rice as its trainer. Effinex finished second by 6 ½ lengths at 33-1 odds to Triple Crown champion American Pharoah, who may very well be a unanimous selection for Horse of the Year. In doing so, Effinex beat third-place finisher Honor Code, a two-time Grade 1 stakes winner this year, by 4 ½ lengths, also defeating the ultra-classy Tonalist and four other quality horses.

    $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup (Grade 1) Saturday, September 27, 2014 Belmont Park – Elmont, NY NBC Sports Network, 6-8 pm ET live! Haynesfield (2010) is the only horse to wire the JCGC in the last 10 years, beating eventual BC Classic champ Blame in the process. Six straight JCGC winners had prepped at Saratoga, but four consecutive winners lost that previous start at the Spa. The trifecta in 5 straight JCGC editions has been made up exclusively of horses who prepped at Saratoga most recently. JCGC also-rans have won the Breeders' Cup Classic in three of the last four years: Fort Larned (2012), Drosselmeyer (2011), & Blame (2010). Curlin (2007) is the last horse to win both the JCGC and the Classic in the same year. Favorites have lost the last four runnings of the JCGC at odds of 5/2, 5/2, 6/5 and 4/5. The JCGC favorite has missed the trifecta just once in the last 10 years (2005, when the entry of Flower Alley and Bishop Court Hill finished fourth and eighth, respectively, at odds of 3/2). Borrego is the only horse to win the JCGC in the last 10 years with a true closing run, scoring from nearly a dozen lengths off the pace. Only one other winner in that timeframe has been more than 5 lengths off the pace at any point in the race, Flat Out in 2012.

    TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 2018 LETTER FROM ASCOT: THE CARRIAGE QUALITY ROAD by Dave Johnson BRIDGING THE GAP It was when I saw the carriage. It was GI Preakness S. morning this year, and I was throwing stuff I needed for my Sirius XM show into a bag. And then, I saw it again, out of the corner of my eye. Every television station had it on. You couldn't miss it. Live coverage of the wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. It was when I saw that gleaming ancient Landau carriage, one of five made for the Royal Family in 1863. The very one that carries the Queen to the races every day for the Royal Meeting at Ascot was now carrying Meghan and Harry to the cheers and waves of thousands. The whole world was watching the overflowing small town of Windsor. Only eight miles from Ascot racetrack. It was then I started to mentally list my early wagers for the upcoming meet.
