Superfecta Sunday at Santa Anita

Staying on this Sunday at Santa Anita. We will witness a Breeder's Cup quality graded stakes Turf race.

Speaking of which, the 2014 Breeder's Cup World Championship's are now in the record books.  What a terrific day of racing. We look forward to next years Breeder's Cup at beautiful Keeneland in Kentucky, USA.

Santa Anita Park Race 9 {Goldikova~G2~1 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Graded Stakes}
A great field of nine befitting one of the greatest Turf milers, Goldikova [IRE] for which this race is named. There is plenty of speedsters and forwardly placed types to make for a hot pace. All of these gals have comparable speed figs at the mile distance and over the Turf surface. It should be a challenging race. Our task, once again, is to shoe a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.

#1 Filimbi (Rosario / Mott) should be the favorite and get the job done. She holds the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two stout workouts. Her last out performance is flattered by Dayatthespa's victory in yesterdays Breeder's Cup Filly and Mare Turf contest. The speedy and forwardly placed types should set it up for her as she closes them down. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.

#6 I'm Already Sexy (Geroux / Catalano) should challenge with the second highest last out speed number, a six race progression, and three top-notch workouts. She should be part of the forwardly placed group angling for position. This gal has the benefit of jockey Florent Geroux who appears to be in the zone considering his first victory in a Breeder's Cup race yesterday.

#8 Pontchatrain (Smith / Proctor) will also challenge with a couple of good last out speed numbers and two endurance building workouts. She shares the second highest speed number at the distance and loves the Santa Anita course. This gal has the tactical speed to go with the flow and burst into the stretch.

#4 Strathnaver [GB] (Bejarano / Motion) should be in contention with the fourth highest last out speed number at a longer route and one solid workout. She likes the distance and shares that second highest speed number at same. This gal will be closing swiftly.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#1 Filimbi  +  #6 I'm Already Sexy  +  #8 Pontchatrain  +  #4 Strathnaver [GB].

2014 Breeder's Cup Championships

Arguably the best undercard of the year, The Breeder's Cup Championships in lovely Arcadia, California. For this Stakes Saturday we take a gander at a top of the line Turf race which should be most exhilarating.

Santa Anita Park Race 9 {Longines Breeder's Cup Turf~G1~1 1/2 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~Graded Stakes}

It appears the Euro invaders should dominate this race, though it should be quite contentious. There is ample speed to keep the pace honest. It will be up to the trackers and closers to bring them home in the stretch run, however. All these lads and one filly, Chiquita [IRE], appear to be in top form. A great race will unfold.

#1 Telescope [IRE] (Moore / Stoute) should get the job done from a tracking position. This lad is 100% in the money from ten starts. He comes from across the pond with a couple of excellent last out performances. He is also 100% in the money at the distance. Coming off a brief layoff, he should fire fresh.
$2 WIN  /  $3 SHOW.

#4 Brown Panther [GB] (Kingcote / Dascombe) will challenge coming off a longer route prior to a brief freshening. His last two races were also quite good, finishing in the money in both. This guy should be a bit closer to the leaders seeking to get first strike capability. He holds a record that shows ten wins and an in the money record of 70%.
$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#7 Flintshire [GB} (Guyon / Fabre) will contend with a couple of superb last out performances.  This lightly raced lad has an enviable 70% in the money record. He should be coming into peak form for his North American debut. This guy is the class of the field.
$2 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#12 Main Sequence (J. Velazquez / Motion) should be in the hunt with highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two sound workouts. He will be attempting a fourth win in a row. With a proper pace, he should be closing quickly.
