Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (Grade II)
$1,000,000 Two-Year-Old Colts and Geldings
That momentum produces a slingshot
effect which gives the riders extra Hoss Power if you have a clear run. Because
of this fact, I feel the foreign jockeys will be at a disadvantage, so I will
box the local guys who know the track, led by Garrett Gomez aboard Delta Storm.
Again, watch who’s flying late from the outside lanes! A $.10 superfecta box
with #1, 3, 5, 7, 13 & 14 = $36.00.
Sentient Jet Breeders' Cup Sprint (Grade I)
The Play: With
two-time BC Sprint champion Midnight Lute out of the picture, you think maybe
Fatal Bullet, who got cooked by ‘Lute in spite of running what would’ve been a
track record for distance anywhere else in the world but that day at Santa Anita,
would be feelin’ his oats right now.
Although Zensational is a clear morning
line fave, the hoss to watch aside from ‘Bullet is Fleeting Spirit and Frankie
Dettori. Fleeting Spirit has been running in Europe carrying up to nine pounds
extra than in this race, so I feel the weight drop and Dettori’s skill makes
them a legit threat. I will make this a $1 superfecta partial with #’s 3,
9/with 3, 5, 9/ with 1, 3, 5, 9/ with 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, #9 = $32.00.
Grey Goose Breeders'
Cup Juvenile (Grade I)
The Play: I won’t hide it – I hate
favorites; but what’s great about the Breeders’ Cup is that the pools are so
big even favorites can pop a righteous superfecta for you. In this race, it is
very hard to go against Garrett Gomez and Lookin at Lucky, so two bets: a $1
superfecta partial with #13, /with 3, 4, 7/with 3, 4, 7/ with 1, 3, 4, 7, 11
& 12 = $24.00 and a $.10 superfecta box with #1, 3, 4, 11 & 13 – just in
case = $12.00. Total = $36.00.
The Play:
Another race the Europeans will have a strong
say in, with Goldikova & Delegator going at it; but out of Empire City’s
Cat Cave, flying down the stretch {cue the serious intro music} is Courageous
Cat – bombing the tote board at 20- 1!!! Minute Mouse & LL Cool J will be
very proud. A $.10 superfecta box with 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, & 11 = $36.00.
The Play: Hard to
bet against Conduit or Dar Re Mi, so I will use them both up top; and since
Allegre is the freshest horse, I think she can sneak in the superfecta and
fatten up the pot considerably.
A $1
superfecta partial #-s 2, 5, with 2, 4, 5, with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 =
$40.00.
The
Play: Unlike Rachel Alexandra, Zenyatta likes to let them all go in front of
her, then pick ‘em off one by one on the close.
With other strong closers like the Bird Brothers and Gio Ponti, I’m not
sure if she can get the trip she needs. Lady Z will need a little racing luck
to get over in this one. Regal Ransom’s in front as far he goes. No matter what
happens today, Zenyatta is a champion and will go down as one of the best ever.
A$.10 super box with #1, 2, 3, 4, 7, # 11 = $36.00 and a $1 super partial #4
with 1,2, 3/with 1, 2, 3/with 1, 2, 3, 7, 11 = $18.00 Total = $54.00.
Next
time: A BC Recap and some late season props given out to horses and riders.
So
when Santa Anita is rockin’ as they come home in the Classic, don’t be
surprised if you hear someone scream…
GO,
