Taylor Stakes Results European invaders took the top two spots here as well with Fraulein winning by a length over Alasha in an incredibly slow time. Results, chart, and lots of photos. http://www.horse-races.net/library/ept-results.htm Review: Exterminator by Eva Jolene Boyd. Known affectionately as "Old Bones," Exterminator is one of the great "iron horses" of all time. He carried weights as high as 140 pounds, over distances of up to 2 1/4 miles. Excellent biography of a grand old champion. http://www.horse-races.net/library/review-100302.htm Breeders' Cup Contenders The current top contenders in each division with info for each and lots of photos. Updated daily with more horses and information. http://www.horse-races.net/library/bc02-preview.htm Breeders' Cup Tickets Update The Trackside Village has been cancelled and people who had tickets there will be relocated to the Trackside. The good news is 500 of the Clubhouse Turn tickets have been released for sale to the public. These include a hospitality tent with a meal for $185. Get all the details here. Only 700 total tickets left for sale from the track now. http://www.horse-races.net/library/bcup-tickets.htm Breeders' Cup Hotels Hopefully by now you have your tickets, but what about a place to stay? Here is a list of the closest hotels to Arlington that still have vacancies, some for rates as low at $55 per night. http://www.horse-races.net/library/bcup-hotels.htm -- ON THE FORUM -- Yavana's Pace injured, possibly retired TEXSQUARED writes, "He ran a really good race at Woodbine finishing third, which may have been his last start. Apparently he was already injured going into the Canadian International." EARLY11 adds, "It is absolutely the most disgusting thing I've read in a long time. Here is my version in layman's terms: 'I'm not surprised he was injured. Heck, he had an infected foot a couple of weeks ago and the pus had worked its way up to the knee, which was swollen. So, when we heard he was lame, well of course I knew he had torn the ligament. He probably was running injured in his last two races. Isn't that terrific!'" http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5865.1 Siphonic dies of heart attack after race ACESPORT1 writes, "Siphonic has just died while waiting to be drug tested after his run today." RAESFAN writes, "I was devastated! I so looked forward to he and Buddha returning to the track, now one retires and the other dies. I felt a blow to the pit of my stomach. I get so attached to these animals. I pray we have seen all the bad news for 2002, although it's not likely. I hope BC day is free from incident. It is my favorite day (except maybe Derby day) of the year." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5873.1 -- SCHEDULES -- Television Schedule What's on TV this week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/bltvsched.htm Stakes Race Schedule Listing of stakes races with purses of $75,000 and up for the next week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/blstakessched.htm -- Racing Polls -- NTRA Thoroughbred Racing Poll 09/30/02 HORSE A-S STS-1-2-3 PTS PVS 1.
