Preliminary schedule for the 2025 Breeders‘ Cup at Del Mar #BC25

The most stunning thing about Belichick's career collapsing and his reputation for anyone under 25 being recast as "horny old dude flaming out in six weeks at North Carolina" is that the football team that made the best decision to keep itself clean throughout this saga was the Atlanta Falcons

already at two late vet/gate scratches today at Keeneland through four races

With DMR fall condition book out we’re gotten a first glimpse of the Breeders’ Cup race order (nothing final until 10/22)

Friday: Nothing different than usual

Saturday: Back to Back dirt races (Sprint, then Distaff), no sprints in Pick 6, late Pick 5/4, F&M Turf ends card/event

I’m sure MLB is thrilled the Yankees are stinking up the joint today making it an easy choice for many watching to go over to football

Alan Gobbi @alangobbi.bsky.social · 18d

With it being the 6th of 9 in 2025 (and two of the three undercard races scheduled for the turf) it means presumably there will be back-to-back dirt BC races scheduled somewhere during the Saturday card

Alan Gobbi @alangobbi.bsky.social · 18d

As has been the case for many years now, there are five dirt races and four turf races compromising the Saturday BC events

The Classic has always been run as an odd number race amongst those nine - either has the finale or the 7th of 9 in 2023 and 5th of 9 last year

Alan Gobbi @alangobbi.bsky.social · 18d

some early Breeders’ Cup thoughts

With the BC Classic scheduled for Race 9 of 12 this year on the Saturday card and BC races being run from the 4th through the 12th plus two undercard turf races preceding them it will be interesting to see how the handle the usual turf/dirt rotation

Meadowlands turf course looks to be in terrible condition

Interesting note on Del Mar’s racing calendar is that both days of the Breeders’ Cup this year are currently scheduled to feature 11 race cards instead of the 10 Friday/12 Saturday that’s been common for the past few years
