Breeder's Cup

[klinkman]

Casino Drive is not fast enough to beat Curlin. His win in the Peter Pan was impressive when compared to the 3-year olds running, but is lackluster compared to the 4-year olds in this field. I really don't see any horse beating Curlin this year, but here are my picks for exotics contenders:

Go Between
Casino Drive
Duke of Marmalade
Student Council
Fairbanks


I really don't think any other horse has a chance of hitting the board here. Smooth Air is underrated at 50-1, but he's still outclassed, so I can't recommend placing any bets on him.

The NTRA is doing a promotion where everyone places a win and show bet on every race, and the person who ends up with the most profit wins a trip to Las Vegas for the World Series of Handicapping and some other prizes. I'll detail my picks here after I analyze each race

Win: Curlin
Place: Fairbanks

Contenders: Zenyatta- Unbeaten and maybe unstoppable
Cocoa Beach- She upset one big favorite, can she do it again?
Carriage Trail- Her run in the Spinster would have been good enough to give Zenyatta a run for her money. I expect her to bounce but you never know.

Pretenders: Music Note-She's the class of the 3 year olds, but that means nothing when you are up against the best older horses. I just cant see her beating the likes of Zenyatta and the rest.
Ginger Punch- We already have seen her lose to Cocoa Beach, and lose badly to Zenyatta. Nothing makes me think she can do better now
Santa Terista, Bear Now-Outclassed, plain and simple

Exotic Bomber-Hystericalady- She will be caught by someone, but I expect her to catch a piece of the money here.

Personally I think zenyatta is unbeatable, just my opion.

Oh, and my picks for the Ladie's Classic:

Win: Zenyatta
Place: Hystericalady

Damn I'd love to visit a race track one day as well, we have nothing like that down here. It must be a thrill to be on a race track live. It's still nice on TV but to be there must be amazing!

[Lilred36]

Well guess I'm not going,I will just have to watch on tv.

Thanks for all the advice!!! I'll check in later to see you have any thoughts on the other races going on today. I won't be watching live, but I will be able to watch and bet at the same time. Either way, it's still exciting!!! Gotta love the horses!!!!! Go Curlin!!!!
