X Y Jet Out of Breeders' Cup Sprint; Post Positions Draw This Afternoon

The grey gelding, X Y Jet, has had three surgeries on his left knee in the past, and he had swelling in that knee this morning.  He is now scratched from the Breeders' Cup Sprint, which opens the way for B Squared to run in the full field of 14. 
   The Rood and Riddle Post Positions Draw will be a gala affair, with tickets available to the public this year.  It will begin at 4 p.m. (EDT), and is scheduled to end at 9 o'clock.  Trainers and owners have to decide which race they want to run their horse in well before 4, if their horse has qualified for multiple races - and several are entered in two or three.  It will be interesting to see who runs in what race.
   Tomorrow, I'll list the post positions for all of the 14  Breeders' Cup races that will be run on 2 and 3 November, as well as the two other graded stakes races from both days - so 18 race postings tomorrow....  (My fingers will be tired!)
