I kinda wish he wouldn't- I do think he can be competitive with top tier horses but this Breeders Cup, headed by Flightline has some really terrific 3 year olds--- Perhaps the Cigar mile would be better-- JMO

Thanks for posting this  lovely backstory though it is sad that American Apple's dam passed and away.

I will be rooting for her!!!

 Interesting back story on a horse from across the pond I had never heard of, The Ridler, who is going to the Breeders Cup. He certainly does have unique markings! Wishing him well

Thanks for the link.
