Clem Labine was a stellar relief pitcher for the 1950s Dodgers, back before they moved to Los Angeles. He’s also a 4-year-old racehorse who, despite a three-month layoff, was the heavy favorite in the featured 10th race, a $20,000 claimer, at Emerald Downs in Auburn, Wash., on closing night (Oct. 29) of the godforsaken year of our Lord, 2020.

The Breeders’ Cup: it’s the culmination of an entire year’s worth of the best horse racing on Earth, when top Thoroughbreds from around the globe congregate at Keeneland Race Course on Nov. 6-7 to the sport’s world championships. The spectacle alone makes the event appointment viewing, but don’t sleep on your chance to bet small and win big at Breeders’ Cup.
