all in Breeders' Cup

While the Breeders’ Cup settled most of the questions about the 2022 Eclipse Award winners, one important category may not be decided until the final days of the year.

The favorite won the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic, and in so doing he helped an underdog win the Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge.

I have been working as a turf writer for a few years now, but long before my days at the keyboard, I was a horse-crazy kid growing up in a land of ardent college football fans. The few times I went to the racetrack were hours spent taking all of it in, absorbing every detail – the sights, the sounds, even the smells – for later, when it was all done, memories to sustain me until the next time.

The shimmering gold lettering reads, “Jockey’s Quarters” at Keeneland Race Course. It’s like a gate where riders break to catch their mounts, and willingly sign autographs upon their return. The location is an inner sanctum, and not a place that’s seen much by the outside world. Coming out into the fray, the Breeders’ Cup weekend is nothing short of a hive of activity as the Keeneland green jacket corps secure the perimeter.

The remarkable, two-year racing journey of Flightline has come to an end.
