Timestamps below for the quickie Race Picks we recorded from inside our tin cans! 0:47 This Saturday, October 2nd, Santa Anita's Race 9 is the Rodeo Drive Stakes on turf for fillies 3 years-old and up, a G1 race worth $300K 1:24 This week, Weej is using some non-free resources, but as a reminder, we have a video tour of online sites for free horse racing research and analysis here https://youtu.be/elOWTZlBXmc or at our website https://www.33xpl.com 1:37 Looks like our top 2 choices are Dogtag, and Going To Vegas, a filly on a winning streak in whom Weej holds fractional shares through MyRacehorse.com 3:04 Not feeling as much love for Neige Blanche and Fast Jet Court. Not seeing RidefortheCause, or Crystalle as particularly good matches to this race. Magic Attitude has decent late speed, Luck's interesting… but what's with all the foreign entrants here? 4:32 Red Lark is another, this time from Ireland (probably a toss for Weej), but some of the numbers on the racing form don't make sense to Trixie, such as Luck's total lifetime winnings in Brazil. Is the scene that different, or are we missing data that makes it even harder to judge these horses? 6:43 Trixie gives her analysis of this field, noting the uneven combination of talent seems as if it might be a kind of overseas opportunism? 8:18 Moving onto Race 10, the Awesome Again, another Breeders Cup In and You're In race. It's graded G1, and is for 3yo and up, 1 &1/8 mile on the dirt for a purse of $300k. And there's more Bob Baffert drama! Because really, when this trainer simply shows up, it's drama. 9:01 The #5 horse is Medina Spirit, so recently pulled from last week's races at Parx in Pennsylvania, along with Baffert's other horses! 9:40 In this race is another Baffert horse, Azul Coast, who looks like he might not belong in this group, but maybe B.B. is running short on locales to place his entrants? 10:05 To Trixie, both #1 Tizamagician and #2 Midcourt seem outgunned in this race. 10:37 #8 Idol's interesting, but #7 Tripoli's the rock star here, solid in every way. How does he look versus Medina Spirit? 11: 41 Stiletto Boy, the previous Iowa Derby winner, currently has odds that make him an attractive addition to a combo platter-type bet. 12:18 Express Train is solid, and has even beaten Tripoli before, so why is Trixie unmoved? 14:01 Tripoli is also Weej's top pick, perhaps with Medina Spirit showing up somewhere and Stiletto Boy for fun. Medina Spirit really is a great horse, with an unusually dominant attitude that lets him mug you and keep running

On this episode we recap stakes from the Pennsylvania Derby. We then go on to preview stakes at Santa Anita, Churchill Downs, and Belmont Park, including the 2021 Woodward, Awesome Again and Champagne Stakes. 

This will be a huge weekend for handicappers to start lining up their Breeders' Cup selections. There will be 9 Breeders' Cup “Win & You're In” events from Friday through Monday contested at both ends of the map. We will be joined by two of the country's most experienced handicappers Ralph Siraco and Anthony Stabile. Ralph Siraco is a former track announcer who became a turf writer and broadcaster. He currently hosts the racing radio show Race Day Las Vegas, broadcast on KSHP AM 1400 in Las Vegas. Ralph will cover several races from Santa Anita over Friday and Saturday. 2-year-olds will be featured first and the races are full of blue-blooded individuals with top connections. As usual, Bob Baffert's trainees will be front and center in both. At least three youngsters from his barn are set to make their mark in the G1, $300,000 American Pharoah, headed by his $1,500,000 baby Corniche. In the $200,000 G2 Chandelier, the white-haired wonder sends out two runners including Grace Alder, a smashing winner of the G1 Del Mar Debutante. Baffert is going to pass on the G1 Awesome Again with just one of his trainees, but he is sending out the first-place finisher of the Kentucky Derby. Laurel River won an allowance race at Del Mar so impressively in his two-turn debut earlier this month that Baffert initially entertained thoughts of running in the $300,000 Awesome Again on Saturday at Santa Anita, but upon further review Baffert said Tuesday. he would enter both Medina Spirit, the first-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, and recent Del Mar allowance winner Azul Coast in the Awesome Again, a 1 1/8-mile race expected to include, among others, Tripoli and Tizamagician, the one-two finishers from last month's Pacific Classic at Del Mar. The Awesome Again is a Win and You're In for the Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 6 at Del Mar. Anthony “the Big A” Stabile was born at the racetrack. He is now a popular host on Horse Racing Radio Network and will be giving in us his insights into the important races from Belmont Park. Stakes winners Gunite and Wit are expected to take on flashy debut winners Jack Christopher and My Prankster in Saturday's G1, $500,000 Champagne, a Win and You're In race for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Del Mar on Nov. 5. Gunite, trained by Steve Asmussen, won the G1 Hopeful, defeating Wit by 5 3/4 lengths. Wit, who won the G3 Sanford by eight lengths on July 17, stumbled at the start of the Hopeful but made a sustained bid, finishing three lengths clear of the remainder of the field in second. Wit is trained by Todd Pletcher, who also trains My Prankster, a 10-length debut winner at Saratoga on Aug. 21 going 6 1/2 furlongs. Could there be an upset brewing in the Woodward? Code of Honor, a son of Noble Mission, enjoyed a terrific 3-year-old campaign and figures to be among the choices in a deep Woodward field that is expected to include Art Collector, By My Standards, Dr Post, Forza Di Oro and Maxfield.

On this episode we recap last weekend's major Breeders' Cup action from Santa Anita and Belmont Park, including talking about the Awesome Again, American Pharaoh and Rodeo Drive as well as the Vosburgh at Belmont. Next we preview the Friday stakes at Keeneland. Finally we preview the upcoming weekend of stakes at Pimlico on Preakness weekend.

We talk about the weekends big races including what to think about Maximum Security off of his so-so effort in the Awesome Again. Also discuss the weakness of California graded races in comparison to other jurisdictions and how the number of them might be reduced in the face of declining foal crops. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/charles-simon6/message

Matt Bernier discusses big racing at Santa Anita including the Awesome Again stakes, and gives his NFL Trifecta for Week 4. This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

California Chrome's dominance in the Awesome Again, Stellar Wind vs Beholder in the Zenyatta (and looking ahead to the Distaff), Runhappy's performance in the Ack Ack and his chances in the Dirt Mile, Ectot vs Flintshire in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic, and more are discussed by Peter Thomas Fornatale, Mike Hogan, and Jonathon Kinchen on today's episode.

The first of two Super Saturday Breeders' Cup prep days is this Saturday, September 26, with graded stakes Breeders' Cup preps at Belmont Park, Churchill Downs, and Santa Anita Park. The West Coast features top races for Breeders' Cup Classic hopefuls with the Awesome Again for males and super mare Beholder taking on her own sex in the Zenyatta Stakes, though the two-time champion is targeting the Classic and would likely be the second choice in that race behind Triple Crown champion American Pharoah. Ed DeRosa and Danny Zucker will also touch on the Beldame at Belmont, a race that could produce the Distaff favorite with Beholder targeting the Classic

Ed DeRosa of Brisnet.com joins host Derek Simon to discuss Treve's win in the Prix De L'Arc de Triomphe and the resulting confusion over her actual odds. He also offers his opinion on the Breeders' Cup hopes of Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome, Awesome Again champ Shared Belief, Pennsylvania Derby hero Bayern and two-time Horse of the Year Wise Dan. In a special History segment, Derek looks back at the career of Cigar, who recently passed away at the age of 24. Lastly, in the I Need to Know segment, Derek discusses greatness and whether or not two-time Arc winner can rightly be called one of the best ever.
