Week in Review 10/18-10/25

With Breeders’ Cup less than two weeks away, the current top Juveniles are preparing with gallops, jogs, and breezes//Presumed favorite Union Rags had an almost casual breeze at Fair Hill, but trainer Michael Matz seems pleased with where he is// Take Charge Indy, a dark-horse candidate in the Juvenile who has only raced on synthetic, apparently relishes the dirt at Churchill// Trinniberg also put in a solid work that has his connections much closer to paying the late nomination fee for the Juvenile Sprint// CTD Notable Performer Me and My Gals tragically broke down Saturday during training at Churchill. The son of Sky Mesa broke his maiden impressively at Hoosier Park and was apparently being pointed to the BC Sprint.
