The December Fasig-Tipton mixed sale in Timonium will include a strengthened horses of racing age supplement to meet strong demand from recent years.

Heel issues affected Page McKenney earlier this year, but trainer Mary Eppler got them fixed, and the recent results show two straight strong performances.

At yesterday’s Fasig-Tipton November sale, 19 horses, including two bred in the Mid-Atlantic, fetched winning bids over $1 million.

The final NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll of 2017 finds Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Gun Runner in a class by himself, the unanimous top selection.

The number of automatic IRS filings at the Breeders’ Cup dropped 97 percent this year versus last thanks to new, bettor-friendly rules.

Bound to Windsor and William and Mary – both trained by James Casey – ran one-two in the faster division of the WV Futurity last night at Charles Town.

Gun Runner was Gun Runner and the result was a dazzling Breeders’ Cup Classic win; in other BC races, Midlantic-breds struggled.

Long layoffs seemed to catch up with Midlantic-breds Mor Spirit and Stellar Wind yesterday at the Breeders’ Cup, while locally-based Untamed Doman ran big.

He may be Kentucky-bred, but Sadler’s Joy is Virginia-raised and -owned and will run in the colors of the state’s Woodslane Farm in Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Turf.

William and Mary, ineligible for last month’s WVBC, looks strong as he tries to make amends in Saturday’s West Virginia Futurity at Charles Town.

More than two dozen horses that have started at Charles Town in recent years have shown up in Breeders’ Cup races, including a two-time BC champ.
