Currently they are trying to recreate it at Keeneland while filming the movie "Seabiscuit". http://horseracing.about.com/library/blseabis.htm -- ON THE FORUM -- Azeri in the Dubai World Cup? TORAYUME writes, "They've released a list of the American horses up for the classic. Among the contenders? Volponi, Medaglia d'Oro, Sarava.... and Azeri. Does anyone out there doubt that the filly will whoop up on that bunch like she did IG and Take Charge Lady? Working on that Horse of the Year '03 award (and yes, I'm aware the 2 year olds are serious...)" http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=6074.1 Seabiscuit filming news BLUEGRASSGUY writes, "For the past week, Keeneland has been transformed into Pimlico for the Match Race. Several Seabiscuits and War Admirals are being used (and will be for sale, they are all off the track thoroughbreds). There have been several farms used but a lot at Calumet. 4000 people showed up during the coldest day (and our first snow) to be a part of the crowd at the race. Nobody is getting paid to be the extras for this. Everybody was in 30's dress and very few changes had to be made by the film crew. Chris McCarron has been around for a couple of weeks. Gary Stevens was here for a couple of days but a lot of his riding has been done by Ricky Frazier. Tobey Maguire will be riding fake horses." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=6068.1 -- 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 -- Final NTRA Thoroughbred Racing Poll 10/28/02 HORSE A-S STS-1-2-3 PTS PVS 1.
