#10 Songbird (7-5) – She’s been dominate in her 4 starts and she has a tactical advantage in this race with her early speed. WON $ 3.20
#9 Rachel’s Valentina (7-2) – Regally bred filly has the potential to explode with a breakthrough performance in her 1st route. 2ND
#6 Bold Quality (20-1) – Responded well on the stretchout and no reason to think she can’t take another forward step at a juicy price.
#1 Land Over Sea (8-1) – Has been chasing the top choice in Cali and looks to save ground here for another minor check.
#2 Tap to It (8-1) – Another extremely well bred filly that can take a gigantic forward step on the stretchout to two turns.

R4 – G1 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint

#12 Ready for Rye (10-1) – Versatile runner draws well as he can adapt to any pace scenario.
#3 Undrafted (4-1) – Should be able to secure inside position early and then uncork a late rally.
#4 Jimmy Bouncer (15-1) – Turf sprinting seems to be what he wants, he's kind of a wildcard in here and the price will be right.
#2 Bobby’s Kitten (15-1) – Defending champ might get lost at the betting windows, but the screws should be much tighter as this was the goal.
#11 Marchman (15-1) – As long as Robby drops anchor early, he has a chance to come flying by at the end.

R5 – G1 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint

#5 Artemis Agrotera (20-1) – Last seen in this race last year, but she’s been training lights out and has the perfect style and draw to be successful here.
#3 Taris (12-1) – She’s been brilliant here and could be sitting on another big race from an advantageous post.
#11 Judy the Beauty (6-1) – Always brings it and she’ll all the speed lined up.
#6 Super Majesty (10-1) – Has displayed some serious talent in only 4 starts, but Hollendorfer feels she’s ready for the test.
#10 Kiss to Remember (30-1) – Leparoux really fits her off the pace style well and she must be considered for all slots.

PK5 – 2 5 8 9 / 4 5 10 / 10 / 3 12 / 3 5 = $32 for $.50

R6 – G1 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf

#5 Photo Call (Ire) (12-1) – Has finally put it together and looks to be in a great striking position as they turn for home.
#3 Legatissimo (Ire) (8-5) – Classy Euro filly answers the bell every time and could flat out be too much for this field.
#8 Dacita (Chi) (8-1) – Has been successful off the bench and her trainer excels at it. Dangerous.
#11 Stephanie’s Kitten (10-1) – With over $3 Mil in the bank, she deserves a ton of respect, but will need a top class ride by Irad in this spot.
#12 Secret Gesture (GB) – Don’t care for the draw, but Geroux has really emerged on the scene this year and a front running win will really add to his resume.

PK4 – 10 / 2 3 4 12 / 3 5 6 10 11 / 3 5 8 11 12 = $50 for $.50

R7 – G1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint

#11 Barbados (20-1) – Expect the son of Speithstown to be closer to the pace today and ready to pounce down the stretch.
#13 Private Zone (5-2) – If he’s able to shake clear, they will have their hands full trying to pass him late.
#5 Run Happy (3-1) – Has displayed some brilliant speed in last two, but will be confronted by some serious speed here.
#9 Masochistic (10-1) – Recent works say draw a line through his last race and he’s shown the ability to rate right off the pace.
#10 Salutos Amigos (12-1) – Consistent as they come and a board finish is well within the scope.

R8 – G1 Breeders’ Cup Mile (Turf 8F)

#6 Tourist (15-1) – BEST BET - Last year he lacked experience, but this year he keeps on improving and has a ton of talent. Seems to be sitting on the race of his life.
#3 Make Believe (GB) – Multiple Group 1 winner draws well and should be towards the front the whole time.
#1 Grand Arch (15-1) – Has an affinity for this course and should be right there again.
#9 Esoterique (Ire) (7-2) – She’s definitely battle tested and this is not the strongest Mile in recent history.
#7 Tepin (12-1) – She’ll make them run every step of the way as she’ll be on or near the lead for a long time.

R9 – G1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile

#9 Exaggerator (6-1) – This has been the ultimate goal and you have to love the way his splits horses which is a huge advantage in a full field like this.
#4 Unbridled Outlaw (15-1) – Continued running hard after checking severely in latest and it doesn’t hurt when Smitty hops aboard for a big race.
#3 Greenpointcrusader (4-1) – Has displayed some serious talent sprinting and he should relish the two turns here.
#13 Nyquist (9-2) – Has been beating up the competition out west, but must prove it here from a difficult post.
#12 Swipe (15-1) – He’s been chasing #13 Nyquist with little success and no reason to think he won’t finish right behind him again.

R10 – G1 Breeders’ Cup Turf

#1 Golden Horn (GB) (4-5) – 3yr old has had a year for the record books and this looks like is a drop in class for him. He’ll deserve Turf Champion with only one win in the U.S..
#7 Big Blue Kitten (8-1) – Tough customer will be waiting for top choice to blink.
#6 Twillight Eclipse (20-1) – Model of consistency and adds value to exotics.
#11 Red Rifle (10-1) – Castellano will probably drop down inside early and angle out for a late run as the turn for home.
#4 Slumber (GB) (8-1) – Draws well and should make his presence felt for minor awards.

R11 – G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic

#4 American Pharoah (6-5) – Triple crown winner looks to cap off a magical season and seems to have a tactical advantage unless there is a suicide mission.
#3 Frosted (15-1) – He has the ability and heart to make top choice bring his best one.
#1 Tonalist (6-1) – Is he just a Belmont Monster? He’ll need someone to challenge AP early for his best shot of reeling him in.
#9 Honor Code (6-1) – It seems that the pace scenario will not be to his liking. It’s super impressive when this locomotive gets going late.
#5 Gleneagles (Ire) (20-1) – Euro wildcard is coming off a disappointing finish and top connections didn’t blink about bringing him here. Vote of confidence for sure.

$1 PK6 – 3 5 / 5 9 11 13 / 3 6 / 9 / 1 7 / 3 4 = $32

PK4 – 1 3 6 7 9 / 3 4 9 / 1 6 7 / 1 3 4 = $67.50
