It's Breeders' Cup Time

On this Furlong Friday, normally we take a look at a nice sprinty furlong race, but the Breeder's Cup is upon us. Today we take a peek at the future Derby stars .

Churchill Downs Race 9 {Sentinent Jet BREEDERS' CUP Juvenile~G1~1 1/16 mile~2 year-old~colts and geldings~Graded Stakes}

A fantastic crop of young lads will go to the gate in this multi-million dollar race. A good number of these boys will be future Derby stars, Kentucky or in another setting. This is the race to wager and watch.  A great number of speedy types will launch from the gate sure to give those coming from off the pace a reasonable chance to pull off a victory. Speed numbers are very close for the top tier and the balance of these youngsters should improve nicely. It will be the best race of the day.

#9 Game Winner (Rosario / Baffert) looks to crank off his fourth career win in a row. Coming to this race with the highest last out speed number and three strong workouts, he will be the deserved favorite. A son of Candy Ride [ARG], he should be cruising close to the pace and strike in the stretch.
$2 WIN.

#8 Standard Deviation (Castellano / C. Brown) will challenge coming from off the pace. His speed numbers are a little light, but making his third start of his career he should show great improvement. With two solid workouts and best in class connections he should be ready for the battle. A son of Curlin, he is just getting started on a sure to be successful racing career.
$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#12 Gunmetal Gray (Prat / Hollendorfer) looks to contend with the fourth highest last ut speed number, a three race progression, and four superlative peaking workouts. This lad has already hit the board at the distance. A son of Exchange Rate, he should be traveling close to the pace ready to launch.
$2 SHOW.

#4 Tight Ten (Santana / Asmussen) should be in the hunt with three solid last out speed numbers and four high performance, peaking workouts. This guy has already hit the board twice at Churchill Downs. A son of Tapit, he should be part of the forwardly placed crew ready to gear up when the others have folded.
