Breeder's Cup, Day 2

Another fine day at Santa Anita for the Breeder's Cup World Championships. Yesterday's races were fun and exciting to watch. Today will be even better. Let's roll out our show money plays making the case for our selections. Additionally we will play a 10 Cent Superfecta in each race.

Breeder's Cup at Santa Anita

Race 2 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf~G3~1 mile~Turf
The Todd Pletcher trained, Interactif (Desormeaux / Pletcher) looks the best in here. With a solid speed number in his last out, a 1 1/16 mile turf route, this son of Broken Vow will sit and pounce near the wire for the win. It will give Kent Desormeaux his first win of the BC Competition. He road a couple of horses yesterday bringing them to the wire in positions beyond expectations. Here's the play.

$2 SHOW: #10 Interactif
10 Cent Superfecta: #10 Interactif / #5 Gallant Gent / #9 Becky's Kitten / #3 Codoy

Race 3 Breeder's Cup Turf Sprint~6 1/2 furlongs~Hillside Turf
This is a full field for what will be an amazing sprint home. There is parity in this race and any one of these sprinters can win. Our show money play will be Cannonball (Dominguez / Ward), though there are so many to like in this race. Cannonball has trained like a monster leading up to this race. He should be there in what appears will be a photo as a wall of horses hit the wire together. Let's make our play.

$2 SHOW: #6 Cannonball
10 CENT Superfecta: #7 Gotta Have Her / #5 Get Funky / #6 Cannonball / #3 California Flag

Race 4 Sentient Jet Breeder's Cup Sprint~G1~6 furlongs~All weather track
Looks like a reasonably sized field for a sprint on an all weather track. Any one of these can win it. We will go with Fatal Bullet (Da Silva / Baker) who is in the money eleven for eleven times on the synthetic surface. Also has the highest speed number at the distance, among this great group of racers. Let's make a nice play.

$2 SHOW: #3 Fatal Bullet
10 CENT Superfecta: #3 Fatal Bullet / #5 Gayego / #1 Zensational / #9 Fleeting Spirit(IRE).

Race 5 Grey Goose Breeder's Cup Juvenile~G1~1 1/16 mile~All weather track
The Euros in this event will have a tall task in front of them if they wish to be in the money. We are Lookin at Lucky (Gomez / Baffert) for our choice. This horse is clearly the one to beat. He has trained forwardly for this event and has the speed number for the distance. Trainer, Bob Baffert, has this colt ready. Let's play.

$2 SHOW: #13 Lookin at Lucky
10 CENT Superfecta: #13 Lookin at Lucky / #6 Pulsion / #2 Piscitelli / #11 Radiohead

Race 6 TVG Breeder's Cup Mile~G1~1 mile~Turf
This is a race where the Euros have a awfully good chance to sweep it. We will select the Irish bred, Ferneley(IRE) (Bejerano / Cecil), as our show money selection. This horse has trained beautifully and smoothly for this race. Trainer Ben Cecil has peaked him perfectly for this race. Here's the play.

$2 SHOW: #7 Ferneley
10 CENT Superfecta: #11 Goldikova(IRE) / #2 Whatsthescript(IRE) / #7 Ferneley(IRE) / #9 Gladiatorus

Race 7 Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile~1 mile~All weather track
The race should be named the AWT mile for this year. Next year when the Breeder's Cup returns to Churchill Downs it get its old name back. The competitors in this race are top notch. We are looking at a big surprise. The fifth place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, Chocolate Candy (Rosario / Hollendorfer), has as good a chance as any in here to bring home the Cup. He is coming off a 1 1/16 mile route and has worked nicely leading up to this. Could be the upset of the competition. Let's have fun with this one.

$2 SHOW: #9 Chocolate Candy
10 CENT Superfecta: #9 Chocolate Candy / #1 Mastercraftsman / #5 Neko Bay / #2 Furthest Land

Race 8 Emirates Airlines Breeder's Cup Turf~G1~1 1/2 mile~Turf
This is another race where the Euros could dominate. We like the horse with the highest speed number at the distance, Conduit(IRE) (Moore / Stoute). He is also in the money four for four times at the distance. A terrific competitor is he. Let's make our play.

$2 SHOW: #2 Conduit
10 CENT Superfecta: #6 Precious Passion / #2 Conduit(IRE) / #7 Spanish Moon / #5 Dar Re Mi(GB)

Race 9 Breeder's Cup Classic
The finale of what promises to be one of the best Breeder's Cup in this decade. We are thinking with our heart on this one and believe that Zenyatta (Smith / Shirreffs) will finish in the money to cap off a great career. The "wise guys" do not believe in her. We do. Although a deep closer in a very large field, she has the mettle to bring it home to the wire. Trainer, John Shirreffs, has her ready. Jockey, Mike Smith, will guide her to a perfect trip. Let's make our final play.

$2 SHOW: #4 Zenyatta
10 CENT Superfecta: #7 Gio Ponti / #8 Einstein / #4 Zenyatta / #5 Twice Over
