November 5, 2025

Sunday Morning Coffee with Big Race Jim on Past The Wire TV


We’re recapping a wild Breeders’ Cup weekend at Del Mar — inside speed bias, huge performances, tough beats, and a couple of horses who ran their eyeballs out in defeat.

Jim reviews the Distaff, Turf, and Classic with key handicapping takeaways:

  • Inside speed bias and why it changed betting strategy mid-card
  • Ethical Diamond shocks the Turf at a monster price
  • Forever Young, Fierceness & Sierra Leone deliver an instant-classic stretch battle
  • Rebel’s Romance continues to amaze at age 7
  • Sierra Leone — an all-timer heading to stud
