Ok everyone, Breeder's Cup is coming up this weekend so I'm sure we'll have a few discussions over this. Let's start with the Juvenile races, who do you like and why?
*Bessemer Trust Juvenile
-My choice here will be Tale of Ekati. Tale of Ekati's last race was in my eyes the best race by any 2yr old this year. I like the layoff, love Clay, and love the horses running style. I was originally hoping to get 5-1 or so on the horse but there's been alot of buzz around him lately. Only thing that worries me is his first 2turn race and his last workout he seemed to run a bit too quick (blazing 4f run in 45sec), just dont want him to tire. I'm assuming alot of the public will follow War Pass and hopefully keep my odds ok here.
*Grey Goose Juvenile Fillies
-My choice here is a bit more of a long shot than Tale of Ekati. In this race I like Grace Anatomy. I started with this horse's first time out, betting it for my girlfriend for the name (she loves grey's anatomy). She only finished 3rd but I was impressed, next time out she won a higher MSW of 68k. Her last race is what really sold me. In the G1 Darley at Keeneland, this horse ran amazing. The race could not have gone more against her. She first had a terrible start and on top of it faced a horrible traffic jam (im talking having to cut in, vie through horses, I'm talking STUCK). She overcame both the bad start and traffic to finish 3rd against a good field. She'll be my play here and Im loving the 10-1 ML on her.
*Juvenile Turf
-Here is where I am actually stuck. I am sort of leaning toward Gio Ponti who I believe performed outstanding in his only two career starts. Alot of other horses here scare me, especially Prussian and The Leopard (something about this horse I love). I'm going to see what you guys have to think as I haven't really made up my mind here.
Let's get some good discussions going here, tomorrow I'll set up a new category of BC races for us to discuss.
