Nice things about BC 2009

Colored saddle clothes.

Jay Cohen and the Santa Anita Brass.

Bringing back mutton chops.

1-800-HAMMER. Maybe not the best spoof but it certainly made me laugh.

Seriously, I thought Santa Anita did another great job with the Breeders Cup. We saw two of the greats in Goldikova and Zenyatta .. The racing was safe and the presentation was good.

I think racing like that can only help to win fans.. And - as a father of 3 daughters, I loved seeing all the girls holding up the "Girl Power" signs for Zenyatta. That was fun.

Two beautiful days of racing. Ones that I had to work very hard at to finish well. I enjoyed it tremendously!!! Though tonight, I am an extremely tired girl.

ESPN did a great job, as did ABC and TVG. Camera angles were excellent, so too was commentary and analysis, etc, etc.

Everyone at BC and Santa Anita made the two days fine ones. Trevor did an outstanding job with the large fields!!

Gorgeous SoCal weather is always welcome.
