Longshot Look Presented By Kentucky-Breds: A Closing-Day Play At Keeneland

Though Kentucky Downs features some of the richest races on the calendar, the boutique meet also serves as a launching pad for many horses to stage a big fall and winter campaign.

On this edition of Longshot Look, J.D. Fox examines Saturday's closing day card at Keeneland, and finds a Kentucky Downs alum at a price in Race 8, the Grade 3 Bryan Station Stakes.

Fox's pick has been active on the Kentucky circuit this year, and he comes into Saturday's Bryan Station off a victory in the Gun Runner Stakes at Kentucky Downs.

The Friday Show Presented By Woodbine: Jockey Agent Ron Anderson Looks Ahead To The Breeders’ Cup

Ron Anderson, in his 50th year as a jockey agent, has represented some of the sport's greatest riders, including Hall of Famers Chris Antley, Jerry Bailey, Garrett Gomez, Gary Stevens, and John Velazquez. Anderson currently represents Velazquez and Joel Rosario, who won the Eclipse Award as outstanding jockey in 2021.

Breeders' Cup has been especially rewarding for Anderson, who has booked 38 championship day winners for his riders dating back to the first Breeders' Cup in 1984, when Fernando Toro guided Royal Heroine to victory in the Grade 1 Mile for John Gosden.

Anderson joins Ray Paulick and Joe Nevills in this week's Friday Show, discussing some of the top mounts that Velazquez and Rosario will handle at this year's 39th Breeders' Cup. He also explains the role of the agent and discusses how the game and his profession have changed over the years.

Watch: Freezing Up In New Mexico? Jockey Suspended 30 Days For ‘Failure To Ride Out His Mount’

The New Mexico Racing Commission has issued a 30-day suspension and $2,500 fine to jockey Hector Aldrete for his ride aboard Quarter Horse Starlite Eagle in the fifth race at the Downs at Albuquerque on Sept. 18, 2022.

The 870-yard race, held around the bend, was for Quarter Horses, 3-years-old and up. Starlite Eagle went off as the third choice in the field of eight horses at odds of 3.90-1. The 6-year-old gray gelding is owned and trained by Martin Orona, Jr.

According to the ruling, posted to the Association of Racing Commissioners International website, Aldrete “failed to ride the horse out, standing up approximately 1/16th of a mile before the finish,” causing the horse to drop from “3rd place to finish in 6th place.”

Aldrete's suspension is scheduled to run from Oct. 23 through Nov. 22.

The multiple graded stakes-winning rider has been riding races since 2007, with a Quarter Horse record of 308 winners from 3,147 starters, and a Thoroughbred record of 19 wins from 392 starters.

The Friday Show Presented By Woodbine: John Sadler On Flightline

Trainer John Sadler joins Ray Paulick and Joe Nevills on this week's Friday Show to discuss – what else? – Flightline, the undefeated Tapit colt rated No. 1 in the Longines World's Best Racehorse rankings.

Sadler, a Southern California native who has been training since the late 1970s, indicates what he is looking for in Flightline's final work on Saturday at Santa Anita before he flies to Kentucky to finish his preparations for the Grade 1, $6-million Breeders' Cup Classic at Keeneland racecourse on Nov. 5. The trainer said Flightline will likely have one more breeze in Kentucky before the Classic.

While he said he respects all of Flightline's competition in the Classic, Sadler said he has been especially keeping a close eye on Life Is Good, a three-time Grade 1 winner in 2022 who captured the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Del Mar last year.

He also shares his thoughts on what differentiates the great horses from the good ones, talks about the best horse he's seen prior to Flightline, and pays tribute to the late Dr. Jack Robbins, the widely respected veterinarian that Sadler says was the biggest influence on his career. Sadler worked as an assistant to Robbins prior to taking out his license as a trainer.
