Race Replay
It's a gloomy day here in Chicagoland as we open our Road to the Breeders' Cup, as thunderstorms threaten heavily as they move down from the north. It's a hot, humid day and our horses are up against it on a firm, hoof-rattling turf course as only 8 stallions and mares make their way onto the grass for the 2016 running of the Shergar. Breeders' Cup winning mare Southern Dancer returns after missing last year's BC to try males this year along with former BC Turf runner Fleet Street to headline the contigent from Hard Tack. Rhapsody comes in with Kentucky Derby runner up Chaos and dead closer Vintage, along with speedball Serenity to help set an honest pace; Speed Demon from Reed Ranch will be there to contest her the entire way, while BlueJay makes their triumphant Breeders' Cup return with crack marathoner Sickle to press the pace issue and middle distance stayer Mezzanotte to help round out the field as these 8 horses come to the gate. They're graded winners all to form a classy field to the post, and it's anyone's race as they load into the gate for the 2016 Shergar!
The Road to the Breeders' Cup begins RIGHT NOW on Seeing Stars!
