  Trainer Noel Daley expects three-year-old trotter Explosive Matter to skip the Breeders Crown later this month at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto in favour of the Gran Premio Orsi Mangelli on November 1 in Italy.
  ...
  It looks like that's going to happen," Daley said on Monday.
  ...
  "He was better the second heat when we raced him in Lexington, and the five-eighths won't bother him," Daley said. "I've asked around and people have said there are a lot of good horses overseas, but the three-year-olds are not a stellar crop. We'll see what we've got when we get over there."
  
  Daley expects Explosive Matter to begin his journey to Italy on October 22.

  Trainer Noel Daley told harnessracing.com Monday morning that the 3-year-old colt trotter Big Bikkies, who won the first of the two Kentucky Futurity eliminations at The Red Mile on Saturday but finished last in the second heat, suffered a broken coffin bone in his right front leg during that race and will be sidelined for about a year. Its not career ending though as nothing broke off, said Daley, who also trained Explosive Matter to runner-up finishes Saturday in both an elimination and second heat of the Futurity behind Muscle Hill. Daley said the coltwho came into the Futurity riding a four-race winning streakwas fine warming both trips before the elimination but he knew early in the second heat as Big Bikkies began to fade from his early second-place position behind the leading Muscle Hill that the colt was in trouble. He only had one more start this year this weekend in the Bluegrass (Transylvania), and then he wasnt going to race until the middle of the next year anyway, said Daley. The plan was to bring him back for a light 4-year-old year and then have him as a good older horse. As for Explosive Matter, Daley said that was our shot at beating Muscle Hill in the Futurity.

  When asked about the colts late unveiling, trainer Noel Daley said there was no real reason. Daley said All Speed Hanover was staked to race early, but due to angle issues with his feet he was just not ready. Daley made the decision to take his time and is glad that he did. This was a great start for the colt, and The Red Mile is a great track for him to start his racing career, Im very happy with where he is at, said Daley. Weve been very high on him from the beginning. Hes done everything right thus far. With a fresh set of legs and two wins under his belt, Daley said the colt is ready to take on his competitors. There are some very fast 2-year-old pacing colts this year, and theyll be really tough to beat, Daley said, but he has had an easy schedule and done everything pretty easy so far. Well see how fast he can go when he gets challenged. Daley added that All Speed Hanover went back in New Jersey to prepare for the Governors Cup at Harrahs Chester, and will return to Kentucky where he will finish out his stakes schedule during Grand Circuit action.

  Freehold, NJ --- Trainer Noel Daley will have to wait until at least 2010 to see Big Bikkies race again. He might wait less than a week to see Explosive Matter return to action.
  
  Daley did not have Saturday's Bluegrass Stakes at the Red Mile on Explosive Matter's original schedule, but said Monday that it was likely the 3-year-old trotter would be there. He also said the horse's future beyond Saturday was uncertain, and might include a trip to Italy for the Gran Premio Orsi Mangelli at the beginning of November. That could mean skipping the Breeders Crown at Woodbine Racetrack.
  
  Explosive Matter finished second twice on October 3 as Muscle Hill swept the $600,000 Kentucky Futurity in straight heats.
  
  "He came out of (the Futurity) super," Daley said. "He's perfect.
  ...
  "He was as good as he was going to be the other day," Daley said. "Everything was in his favor to race as good as he could, and he did in the second (heat). He just can't beat that other horse, that's all."
  
  Daley refuses to contemplate what could have been if there was no Muscle Hill, or if Explosive Matter competed another year. Explosive Matter has won four of 11 races this season, including the $500,000 Colonial, and earned $1.08 million.
  
  "It's hard to compare from year to year," Daley said.
  ...
  "We knew straightaway in the second heat when he couldn't keep up that something was amiss," Daley said.
