When it comes to horse racing, Horses Wild has got you covered.
The 2007 Breeder’s Cup World Thoroughbred Championships is on October 26-27.
However, with the latest horse racing warfare merely a few weeks away, it seems there are quite a few horses who will miss horse racing’s biggest event yet.
The 2007 Breeder’s Cup World Thoroughbred Championships will be at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, New Jersey to hold a new two-day event for the very first time. As always, the two-day event will be concluded by the 2007 Breeder’s Cup Classic with a $5 million purse at stake. It will feature the top three-year-old thoroughbreds from all over the world.
One of which that will miss the 2007 Breeder’s Cup is Maimonides, the $4.6 million son of Vindication. Maimonides finished third in the Grade I Hopeful at Saratoga before coming out with bucked shins.
”He’ll definitely miss the Breeder’s Cup, but he can still get some 2-year-old action,” racing manager Sobhy Sonbol said. ”He’ll need three to four weeks to get over his shins and start back training and get ready for the winter.”
Another colt who’ll be staying home on October 26 and 27 is the impressive winner of the $400,000 Del Mar Mile, Crossing the Line. The colt still needs to be supplemented to the Breeder’s Cup program for $300,000.
