Breeder’s Cup

Considering it was less than a month ago that I predicted Separationofpowers would win the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, it may not be fair or proper for me to start touting another filly.  That said… What if Abel Tasman just isn’t 100% right now?  And what if Monomoy Girl’s tough sophomore campaign has left her with…

There is roughly a 93% chance that I bet on Complexity in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.  And while he’d be worthy of even-money odds most years, the presence of the undefeated Game Winner from California and the hard-luck Champagne runner-up Code of Honor will likely result in a overlaid price on Chad Brown’s phenom. Let’s…

The Breeders’ Cup Future Wager closes on Sunday night at 6pm for the Classic and at 6:30 for the Turf.  As of this writing, we only have $23k in the pool for the Classic and just over $3k has been wagered on the Turf.  So just about any decent-sized wager you make will have a…

It’s somewhat surprising that Crystal Ocean wasn’t supplemented to Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp given he would have undoubtedly been among the top four or five choices in the betting.  He’ll go in the Champion Stakes at Ascot later in the month instead.  And if all goes well there, it’s possible he’ll…

If John Sadler isn’t careful, he’s going to find himself with the favorite in three of Breeders’ Cup Saturday’s seven races… Accelerate- Classic Catalina Cruiser- Dirt Mile Selcourt- Filly and Mare Sprint While she doesn’t have a Grade 1 win to her credit just yet, Selcourt does have an impressive win at the race distance…

Say what you want about the decision to send Catholic Boy to the Breeders’ Cup Classic directly off the win in the Travers.  From my perspective, if you question the decision, you are questioning the judgment of a trainer who seems to have this horse figured out and headed in the right direction.  So if…

The Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile is maybe my favorite event on racing’s biggest weekend.   There are always so many different directions you can go from wagering perspective.  We have horses stretching out. We have horses cutting back. And they all meet in the middle in this one-turn mile.  And this year, we will likely…

It seems like Bob Baffert is likely to run West Coast in the Awesome Again at Santa Anita this weekend.  It will be his first start since his runner-up effort to Thunder Snow in the Dubai World Cup, and only his third start since last year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic.  Full disclosure: West Coast has been…

She races in the Cotillion at Parx on Saturday. Her name isn’t Monomoy Girl. Her name isn’t Wonder Gadot. Her name isn’t Midnight Bisou. You can thank me later.  Oh, and bet her on Saturday until it goes click.  And don’t tell anyone competing against me in The BIG One.
