Breeders' Cup Comes Up Empty for Most of the West Coast

With the exception of Bob Baffert and his merry band of traveling players, trainers based in California came away from the 43rd Breeders' Cup Championships Oct. 30-31 at Keeneland with a few minor placings and bags of meaningless souvenirs. Without a doubt, to ship fit, accomplished Thoroughbreds so far for so little can be discouraging. A 1-for-14 strike rate in the win column is grim.
