Tamara from Mare & Mare Sprint
Release of the Breeders Cup
There were quite a few scratches on the big day. The most striking was of course the possible future Horse of the Year Sovereignty from the Classic.
Today it was announced that Kenny McPeek trainee Mystk Dan was the vet of the Dirt Mile and that Beholder’s daughter Tamara, trained by Richard Mandella, comes from the Filly & Mare Sprint together with Fee Blanche and Sweet Azteca.
