Scat Daddy looking at the pedigrees of the three G1 Breeders' Cup turf winners today....
Libertango - No Nay Never Sun Goddess - Sioux Nation Does Haffner (Justify) bring up the Scat Daddy turf treble in the BC Juvenile Turf?

I think Curracloe will be a big player in the fillies' Classics next year Big run from her as all the horses around her had genuine G1 form, she's still fairly unexposed as that was only her third ever run

2yo fillies this year have been something else Queen Mary and Albany were races for the ages in hindsight

British jumps racing just can't help itself 6 in the G2 Charlie Hall at Wetherby tomorrow and 3 in the Listed Colin Parker at Carlisle on Sunday The best time to cut the number of races was a long time ago The second best time to cut the number of races is right now

2026 foaling statistics for Britain and Ireland Total foal crop at its lowest since 1989 Crops were by and large increasing from 1958 up until the late Noughties, took a big tumble then, and has just slowly fallen since then (Barring a slight uptick in the mid-2010s)

Sea The Stars’s 2026 book Ezeliya & Dariyza both going from Justify in 2025 to STS in 2026 Dar Re Mi also in there; any resultant foal there would have the distinction of their sire having run against their dam (2009 Arc)

Maxios’s 2026 book Still somewhat surreal when you think about it that the Niarchos family bred both the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner and his sire

Interesting to note that Gaelic Warrior’s dam Game Of Legs visited Golden Horn this year Burning Victory, Echoes In Rain, Elimay, Luccia, Queen Of The Stage, and Magical Zoe also in there

I'm bored so here are some of my favourite obscure racing facts 1. Daryz's dam came 4th in Harbinger's KG 2. Daryz's 2nd dam came 13th in Montjeu's Arc 3. Dubai Millennium's dam was a sibling to (a) a July Cup winner, (b) a BC Juvenile & Preakness winner & (c) a Gold Cup 2nd

Dublin looking lovely this morning Unfortunately, it does not FEEL lovely; I’m absolutely freezing Goal for this year’s Marathon is to not break my metatarsal after 2km And if that happens again, then to not run the rest of the Marathon
