“Ding-dong!”

You should never apologize for winning.

My entire Breeders’ Cup was tied into Bayern, who, after wiping out half the field, including his main pace rival, at the start, was quite fortunate to survive the inquiry.

Did I feel guilty about cashing tickets?

Perhaps a little, but I also realize that I’ve been on the other side many times.

In any form of wagering, take it where you can get it. 

Welcome to ABR’s Pigskins and Ponies column, where winners play!

It’s hard on your heart. From the moment they arrive, the clock starts ticking. Eventually, they will be leaving. Fillies grow up to be broodmares. Colts with promise continue on to become stallions standing at stud. In a barn, horses come and go as they are claimed, sold or retired. The grooms (and their families) often lavish love, especially when a horse tries so hard and touches the lives of so many.

Eclipse Sportswire was at Santa all week leading up to the 2014 Breeders’ Cup World Championships and captured the power of the amazing athletes and the incredible atmosphere from a fantastic year-end event. Enjoy this slideshow of the Best of Breeders’ Cup 2014.

My Breeders’ Cup Friday started with a bit of a surprise: after waking up every morning well before the crack of dawn, I decided to let myself sleep in a bit. Silly me: I forgot that I had a photographers’ meeting in the winner’s circle at 8:30 a.m. Thankfully, my internal alarm roused me at about 7 a.m. and after a fortuitous e-mail moment I got myself together and to the track in plenty of time.
