It has been determined the 2019 Breeders’ Cup will remain at Santa Anita.
Here is my ONLY question:
**What if Jerry Hollendorfer has a Breeders’ Cup entry?
If this does happen, watch the wizards that run the game at Santa Anita and the Breeders’ Cup elites in Lexington choke on their own snot.

Here’s my question…would SA have ruled off Bob Baffert. A few years ago Baffert had 6 or 7 horses die of heart attacks in a short period of time. (colbalt????) I guess that’s 2 questions.
Feels like there is much more to the Hollendorfer ruled off story.

Ron,
Your question about Baffert being ruled off (barred from the grounds at Santa Anita) is 100% legit. His record of breakdowns and fatalities may actually be higher than most trainers. Why does he get a pass? Seems certain people and “racing authorities” (idiots) have very, very short memories.
Was it just the timing or is the situation with Hollendorfer just convenient and make a great scapegoat situation because of other factors we don’t know about??
Personally, I think you’re correct in the feeling there may be more to the Hollendorfer story. Let’s watch and see what happens.. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
They’ve already stated that the BC runs under their guidelines for those two days. If Jerry has a horse ready to go there’s no way in hell Santa Anita can keep him from running.

Hey Fred…
I hope you’re right. That’s the way it should be – but what another horrible optic of confusion for the public. Another case of complete failure and total lack of cohesive leadership.
