Geocache Description:


The Breeders' Cup World Championships is an annual series of Thoroughbred horse races that usually takes place the first weekend of November each year. The event was created as a year-end championship for North American Thoroughbred racing and is widely-considered the "Super Bowl" of horse racing as the races typically have the largest purses and draw the best Thoroughbreds from across the world. In 2011, the 28th Breeders' Cup World Championship is being held in Louisville, KY, at the home of the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs.

This cache series is a tribute to each horse running in the Breeders' Cup Classic, the richest and best race on the card, as well as horse racing handicapping tips that you might, at some point in time, find useful.

Stay Thirsty is a three year old Kentucky bred owned by Repole Stable, trained by Todd Pletcher, and ridden by jockey Javier Castellano. Stay Thirsty has 11 career starts, including the 2011 Travers Stakes (GI). Over his career, he has won $1,475,000 and four races. He is listed on the morning line as having 12-1 odds to win the race, but he could be a factor because of his impeccable pedigree.

This brings us to our horse handicapping lesson for this cache. What is a horse's pedigree, you ask? Pedigree is basically the horse's lineage, in other words, it's parents and grandparents. The horse's sire (father) and dam (mother) are listed on the Daily Racing Form's Past Performances to tell the public which race horses were bred together to create the horse running in the race. A horse's pedigree can be found in the middle of the top heading of a horse's Past Performances.
