Re: *** Official Breeders\' Cup Thread ***
I like Grasshoppa in today's race as he just barely lost in his last outing being a heavy favorite.
In the Big one, I like street sense |

The umbrellas are open today - and all races are off the turf at Monmouth Park.
Anybody think Better Talk Now has a chance in the Turf Saturday? |

[ QUOTE ] Also, McDynamo was stunning in his 5th straight BC Steeplechase. Cruised over final jump and no one else was near. [/ QUOTE ] I read the story and am envious you got to see the race in person. The most fun I have ever had at the races was watching the jumpers at Listowel, Ireland. [/ QUOTE ] If you're within 2-3 hrs of NJ, you should come next year. It is so much fun, really unbelievable. Best tailgate party ever for adults, even better than Fla v GA. |

I hope for your sake it doesn't rain too much Saturday. I am analyzing the pp's and will post up a bunch of ideas to be considered tonight. Remember, the great thing about the Breeder's Cup is you don't need to bet a lot to win a lot - if you are going to dip into the exotic pools. gl. |

Re: *** Official Breeders\' Cup Thread ***
I want exotics, exotics, exotics and I want to win, win, win! I'm more excited about this than I have been for a sporting event in quite awhile. I am going to drink myself sick and hopefully take down a big trifecta to combat the ball-crushing of the Borgata two weeks ago!
I can't wait until you people who know more about the ponies than me post your picks! Thanks in advance! Jeff |

70% rain.
Make sure you use Hard Spun in exotics, Monmouth favors front-runners and today NONE of the horses ever came off the lead to win in the mud. HS has won on sloppy tracks before as well. |

[/ QUOTE ] Good advice. Especially if HS is at all patient and can sit off LR the first half of the race. |

Re: *** Official Breeders\' Cup Thread ***
Just to get you started, the Juvenile races have always been a good place to go after price horses. Many of the touted favorites have not really been tested yet and so offer poor value. That said:
Race 4) Juvenile Fillies 3 - Tasha's Miracle 10-1 David Flores has been a really hot rider of late This horse has solid gate speed and good post to use it Had a tough trip first time routing last out Others look better, she may be overlooked at the windows Race 5) Juvenile 4 - Slew's Tiznow 15-1 Good gate speed Should get position on the hip of War Pass Caught up 4-wide in a slow pace at Keeneland last out Julien Leparoux sticks Last workout was impressive |

Re: *** Official Breeders\' Cup Thread ***
George Washington is a sick sick horse but i would think that being from Ireland and seeing him run previously. 20/1 odds for him are brilliant and they wouldn't be bringing him over if they didn't think he had a chance, but i'm no expert. He has had a few injuries though and i think and he hasn't performed at his best in a few races, but if he runs well he will go very very close. IMO value for money maybe an each way bet is best. Was 6th in breeders cup last year didn't run at his best i think. Has also won some of the major races over here obv
I have no clue about American Horse Racing but Dylan Thomas is a lock in the turf race thats all i know IF he performs, maybe 7/5 are the odds i seen i'm not sure. He's won the Irish derby, Arc de triomphe (biggest race in Europe), Irish champion stakes, came close in Epsom derby got a bad race and won the King George VI and Elizabeth stakes, he has a rating of 127 with the closest contender being at 117. Hasn't run in America yet i don't think so you never know and i hear the horse called English channel knows the course well so maybe that will be the forecast (1&2) in that race. He's considered as one of the great horses over here anyways and horse racing is very strong here in Ireland & UK. Probably would have been considered the best had he won the Epsom derby My bets are: George Washington E/W & Dylan Thomas FTW But as i say i know nothing about any of yer horses so don't listen to me lol just saying what i know about the Irish interest in the race |
