7328. This is not the Capitol Hilton. This is the Hilton DC Capitol Hill along New Jersey Avenue!!! We are staying in room 1608 on the 16th floor, with absolutely commanding view of the street. Route D80 to Friendship Heights passes by there.
The Mt. Sterling Holiday Inn Express received a lot of considerable changes since 2022. That was my first stay at one location that had Formula Blue 2.0 fixtures with some 1.0 fixtures still present. On the DC hydraulic elevator, the floor passing chimes were silenced. Bye-bye room 316, we’re on the way to the Capital Hilton now!!!
Truly magnificent, Godolphin has got their Breeder’s Cup Classic at long, long last! Sovereignty!!! Junior Alvarado, Billy Mott do it together! To the Player’s Show team: thank you for an incredible couple of days, I didn’t have a chance to meet you guys in person because I feared that Keeneland would be a crowded atmosphere, so we left back towards the Mt. Sterling Holiday Inn Express before the distaff went off. Team: can you believe that we’re heading to DC tomorrow to see my mother become a Supreme Court attorney? That means she’ll have the chance to argue cases!!!
Benvenuto Cellini is the king of the turf! Named after the famous Italian goldsmith and sculptor, he captured the Turf from deep in the pack, splitting horses. Ryan Moore and Aidan O’Brien get another one!
What a super filly Nitrogen is!!! What a stellar 2026 for her, she has had wins in the Bayakoa, Ogden Phipps and the Beldame, and she tops it off in the Distaff. Jose Ortiz and Mark Cade have delivered, and she’s the best female in the country!
Finally, Kendrick Carmouche’s FIRST Breeder’s Cup! What a 2026 season for the Miguel Clement trained Deterministic! Wins in the Fort Marcy, the Manhattan and the Four Star Dave cemented himself as one of the best turf milers in the country bar none!
6th of the 9 is the Turf Mile. Christina, Simon, Rishi and Joe: does it have what it takes to for Notable Speech to become the first two time winner since Wise Dan in 2012-13 and continue the Godolphin / Charlie Appleby domination?
Japan has taken the Dirt Sprint for the first time!!! Englishman had that race won, but FROM OUT OF THE DEPTHS OF NOWHERE came T O Elvis with Ryusei Sakai for Daisuke Takayanagi, dropping on him coming down the center of the track, POUNCING and WINNING. Have you ever seen a destructive, dangerous stretch kick than this???
