Vegas, Baby. Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile

We open up our Horse Racing Weekend with a fantastic race in the Breeders' Cup Championships.

Del Mar Race 7 {Las Vegas Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile~G1~1 mile~3 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}

A super high caliber field of ten will compete for the million dollar purse in this mile on the dirt. There is enough speed to keep a swift pace. There are four millionaires represented and a few that are on the cusp of becoming one. Speed numbers are very close making this one any horse's race. All but one are coming into this one off a nice freshening. It should be one hell of a race.

#8 Accelerate (Espinoza / Sadler) could pull of the victory with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four supreme peaking workouts. This guy is 92% in the money from thirteen career starts. He loves the surface, loves the distance and loves Del Mar. This lad should be tracking the pace closely and get first jump on those coming from off the pace.
$2 WIN  /  $3 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#3 Sharp Azteca (P. Lopez / Navarro) should be the speed of the speed with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a four race progression, and four speedy peaking workouts. A millionaire, he is 100% in the money at the distance. He is coming off two wins attempting to make it a third.

#9 Battle of Midway (Prat / Hollendorfer) will challenge with a couple of very good last out speed numbers and three hearty workouts. This guy has a 88% in the money record from nine career starts. He has notched a win at Del Mar and over the distance. Deploying tactical speed, he should be able hit the board.

#6 Mor Spirit (Smith / Baffert) could go off as the favorite despite having the longest layoff of this crew. He holds the highest speed number at the distance and has put in four stamina producing workouts. A millionaire, he is another that has the tactical speed to lock in as the pace develops.
