Breeders' Cup Birthday

This is the first of hopefully many posts highlighting horses that we may see live in November.

Twirling Candy, a 4-year-old son of Candy Ride, won the Strub Stakes (Gr. II) on Saturday by 4 1/2 lengths. He didn't beat horses with great accomplishments, but his time of 1:46.53 for a mile and an eighth was really good.

TC has now won 6 of 7 career races, including a Gr. I and two Gr. II races. However, he is yet to be proven outside of California. He is owned by diet guru Jenny Craig. His next race is expected to be the Santa Anita Handicap, and I'm hoping that his performance this year earns him a spot in the BC Classic.
