PONIES RUN THE MILE: Get ready for the horses to really run this Sunday, during the Emerald Downs' 74th Longacres Mile, which happens to be one of those "win and you’re in" races for the legendary Breeder’s Cup. So sure enough, you'll see some of the top horses and jockeys, including 2008 winner Jennifer Whitaker, riding Wasserman.
