Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint

This year the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint will be run at 5 furlongs on a flat course compared to the past two years when it has been run at six and a half furlongs on a downhill turf course. The shorter distance and fast pace make us think that Silver Timber, the morning line favorite, will be the one to win this. We don't see enough of a money opportunity for a good bet.

Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile

Uncle Mo is the favorite as of the morning line but can he handle the distance? We're betting Boys At Tosconova will easily finish in the money, as he has looked superb recently. We are also keeping an eye on Jaycito. The long shot play for us is Rogue Romance who, despite not running on the dirt, may not be such a long shot after all.

Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile

Many people believe Crown of Thorns, trained by Hall of Famer Richard Mandella, is the one to beat and they may be right. Tizway has been performing very well and could be a great opportunity to make some money. Here Comes Ben is also going to get some attention and we know Alex Solis doesn't take a mount he doesn't believe can win.

Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Turf

Workforce has looked fantastic since arriving at Churchill Downs and will be the clear favorite in this race. Behkabad was the beaten favorite in the Arc, going off at 3-1 that day. He looks to be in great form and could pull off the upset. Debussy is our long-shot pick for this race.

Breeders' Cup Classic

This is the race everybody is waiting to see. Will Zenyatta go 20-0? Will Preakness and Travers Stakes winner Lookin' At Lucky finish his campaign for Horse of the Year with a victory in the Classic? Will Quality Road decide to run this year? This could very easily be the best race of the year and while we're not ready to bet against Zenyatta, if she wins this race, the Queen is most certainly deserving of the record!
