Legends Strike!

The Thoroughbred Legends first timer - Accessorize - trained by Nick Zito ran down the favored Sure As Gold on the rail to get up at 17-1 in the 2nd at Belmont. The colt is by AP Indy and is a half to talented turf runner Prussion and bred by Monticule. Bought for $300k at 2008 Keeneland September - one to watch for in the future.

Belmont- October 11 - 2nd Race

First timers in here are from Stonestreet (Jess Jackson), Juddmonte, Thoroughbred Legends (Zito - Lukas - Baffert) and Will Farish (trained for first time by Shug?) and 2nd timers from Darley (Sheikh Mo), Mill House and Donald Dizney. Quite an impressive list of heavyweight owners and breeders. The Pletcher-Mill House entry of Sure As Gold is heavily favored.

The 88th Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

Alan Shubeck in his story on the recent Arc refers to the 90th running of the event. The official website - http://www.prixarcdetriomphe.com/ - says it is the 88th running of the greatest race in Europe. You would think that the Daily Racing Form could get their history right on this. The inaugural running of the race was in 1920 - Alan has included 1939 and 1940 in his count when there were no races held due to World War II.
