On Oct 24th the last big Horse betting weekend before the Breeders Cup on October 24th and 25th. Last week Zarkava won the $5.5 million dollar Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in Paris.  Zarkava upset Breeder's Cup hopefull Soldier of Fortune and Duke of Marmalade.

 Zarkava became the first filly to win the Arc since Urban Sea won in 1993. "We had no worries," stated trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre. "Zarkava is certainly the best horse I have ever trained."  She is not expected to race again until the Breeders Cup.

 Bittel Road is looking strong heading into the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf after finishing first in the Grade 3, $200,000 Woodford Reserve Bourbon Stakes. Bittel Road is now three for three in wins and could be a serious contender in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf. Bittel Road went off at even money for the horse betting gambler.

Vineyard Haven led by 3 1/2 lengths in the early stretch in the Champagne and easily won in 1:36.06 on a track rated as fast.  It was the third win in four starts for Vineyard Haven.  Vineyard Haven finsihed with a dominating win of the $400,000 Grade 1 Champagne Stakes on Saturday at Belmont Park. “How many horses do you know that can do that: go fast, relax on the turn, and then find another gear?” stated the Kentucky Derby winning jockey Edgar Prado. “I had to ease up in the last part because he was opening up too much on the group.” Vineyard Haven now will be a horse to watch for horse bettors in the Breeders’ Cup Grade 1 Juvenile on October 25 at Santa Anita.
