North America's most celebrated weekend of racing is next and RacingDispatch.com will be there to cover it all. I'll be out on track at Santa Anita each morning this week and will be joined by two-time National Handicapping Contest qualifier and Dispatch contributor Mersad Metanovic.

Skiddish morning behavior? Rumors from Clockers' Corner? A Euro who has already come into their winter coat? We'll report what we see and hear and hope to make some money off of it.

Nick Tammaro joins the fray mid-week and will provide race-by-race analysis and a popular return of his Breeders' Cup $50 challenge. The daily handicapper of NYRA racing for CapitalOTB.com, Nick will offer a $50 wager for each of the 14 Breeders' Cup races and ACTUALLY (believe it) makes the bets with his own money. If you followed Nick's picks in the 2007 renewal at Monmouth, you became instantly positive for the Cup when he started with a $5 exacta keying Maryfield over ALL. Miraculous Miss checked in a longshot second and Tammaro was guaranteed a winning mark. No pressure Nick!

Full BC picks from all of our contributors will grace the blog as well - be on the lookout for those Thursday evening along with a few gimmicks as well.

Our journey to reach Arcadia begins Sunday morning and daily updates with pictures, analysis, opinion, and close encounters will be posted in a special blog that goes live on Monday. With any comments or questions, feel free to post them on the site or reach out to me at pcummings@racingdispatch.com

We hope you enjoy and have a successful 2008 Breeders' Cup.
