Woodbine Quick Picks

Well folks...the big day has arrived at Woodbine. My hopes of a larger blog post were derailed this morning when I was offered a spot on Felix Taverna's morning radio show. A little more on that in tomorrow's post which I promise will contain plenty of photos, race video and the inside scoop from three Breeders's Cup Win & You're In Events - The Nearctic, E.P. Taylor and Canadian International.

Redwood is favoured in the International but can he avoid the bounce?


The fields for all three races are listed below with my selections bolded. Good luck!
