Quote Of The Day : Neil Howard

“Curlin is everything a racehorse should be. I told someone that in order to beat him, you have to hope he gets up on the wrong side of the bed. It’s a big step up for our horse.”

Trainer Neil Howard, who will saddle Travers Stakes (G1) runner-up Mambo in Seattle against Curlin in the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes (G1) today at Belmont Park

The Jockey Club Gold Cup

Another thrilling race to be run this weekend will feature Lawyer Ron against Curlin in the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont.

The Jockey Club Gold Cup is one of four stakes races at Belmont on Sunday that reward winners with starting spots in the Breeders’ Cup World Championships as part of the new “Win and You’re In” format.
The Jockey Club Gold Cup winner earns an automatic starting spot in the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic Powered by Dodge (G1) on October 27 at Monmouth Park. Sounds like another "must see" race!
