Additional Comments: Heads up: the races will be run Friday and Saturday. If Undefeated filly Zenyatta runs in the Breeders' Cup Classic she will face off against the boys Saturday. She's won all 13 starts.

Just saw the post positions...Z and SB come out side by side!!! I can't wait!! I believe SB will pull it out, but I have to say my heart is with the filly. You go girl!! ....KY
....I forgot, she's not a filly any more!...KY
Wouldn't mind Einstein winning, either. eom/Jo
Rachel is my girl, but, oh well, I can't wait to see her in the BC at CD next year. If you haven't seen it, go to the Stonestreet web site and read Rachel's ''note'' to Zenyatta. Very sweet! Love when they said ''Rachel runs like a girl''.. Like I said, my heart is really with Zenyatta.. See link inside....KY

Message: Joly, have you been following the Melbourne Cup which is to be run later today (it is Tuesday, 3 November)?
I have taken Viewed, Alcopop and Shocked in a box trifecta/quinella/each way bet. I guess I will find out in about three hours how I did.

Alas, it was Shocked, Crime Scene and Mourilyan. Ah well, at least I had Shocked each way so I will get my money back from the tote. Here is the full story: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2009/11/03/1257010179962.html .....Rose Bush....eom
Got any superstars in the making along the lines of Sunline? Your horses seem tougher and run in more starts. Here, people are in a rush to get them to the breeding shed. eom/Jo
I s'pose you heard about the great Makybe Diva. She won three Melbourne Cups in a row before being retired to stud. She is the greatest horse of the modern age...she just streaked it in her last cup win, which was her last race before being retired. Shocked, who won the cup yesterday is a great little horse. His owner says he will run him for another year before retiring him to stud. And look out of Alcopop. What a great story to that horse. He was used as a polo umpire's horse at 2 years of age, then rounded up cattle as a 3 year old. His trainer is a first timer who got him to run four straight wins and then a sixth in the Cup yesterday. I have put a link to the story below this entry....Rose Bush....eom
