A Sign of Things to Come?


The first day of Breeders' Cup racing Friday was capped off with a big win by Life is Sweet and jockey Garrett Gomez in the $2 million Ladies' Classic. The more celebrated stablemate of Life Is Sweet, Zenyatta, won the same race last year on her way to the top of the racing world. This year, however, Zenyatta's connections have elected to run her in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic against the boys. Zenyatta and hall of fame jockey Mike Smith are the morning line favorite at 5-2, with Rip Van Winkle and Summer Bird right behind at 7-2 and 9-2 respectively. Does Life Is Sweets' victory foreshadow a Saturday victory from stablemate Zenyatta? My guess is that we see Santa Anita veteran Alex Solis and Richard's Kid pull off an upset in the Classic.
