It’s that time of the year once more: the best horses in the world have descended on one place to settle their scores in the Breeders’ Cup.  For the first time, it takes place at beautiful Del Mar.  Also for the first time, Picks and Ponderings is there, so make sure to follow us on Twitter for photos, video, and observations!

Picks and Ponderings will have two separate Breeders’ Cup pieces: 0ne covering Friday, and one covering Saturday.  It will be a slightly different format than many of our recent big-race-day pieces.  Instead of doing an in-depth preview of a single race and then a picks spreadsheet for the rest, each piece will have shorter descriptions of rationale for each pick and longshot in each race.  Then, below, there will be a summary table with all selections and longshots.

Head over to Picks and Ponderings, read my latest, and get excited about the first day of the Breeders’ Cup!
