Breeder’s Cup

I've joined you Zach for the Frankie Special

Have also taken the 10/1 for the SA Derby as it's normally only half the field of the Kentucky Derby.

Frankie...done by a neck :dejection: :loyal:​​​​
 
3 for Baffert in the Futurity tonight… can see a pace war up front and like the chances of Citizen Bull to sit off the speed and pick them up late

I've requested Crown Pride to be priced up for the dirt mile, I think we might get a nice price on him.

Are we looking to put on another BC yankee this month?
Few more markets up, the rest to follow soon hopefully.

Any love for Mullikin in the sprint? Will be some tough opponents but he's on the up this year. 4 from 4 with improving beyers that put him right in the mix. If they can keep Prat on board and break as well as he can he could be a bit of e/w value which I've taken at 8/1

Possible runner in the Phoenix at Keeneland but much more likely to go straight to Del Mar with a nice break after his breakthrough G1 win in the Forego.
 
Jonathans Way put in at 5/2, thought that was a proper wow performance the weekend, will be very hard to beat

Other performance caught my eye recently was Thought Process who has been put in at 10's but would like to see her run again

Need to see others price some these races up though on the Juvenile side

Ylang Ylang another who put in a good performance the weekend, fastest last furlong she just needs a trip, I think her season will be France and then all systems for the Breeders. Obviously depends on how he splits Opera, Content and her but I think will end up at the BC

I was taken with Thought Process too R4H and have taken the 10s which I think is very fair

Opera didn't like the soft ground did she and don't think she stayed the 1m4f but she might on better ground.

Content is still keen but stayed 1m4f.

Not really sure how they will split them tbh.

Yeah it is interesting, Opera S you'd have to think is ruled out of the Arc now. Tabor said if she didn't go Arc they would keep her for the Breeders (Opera race option obviously too in France)
Potentially means Content flips and goes back to France now instead of her

YY think being fresh will do France and Breeders but its the Breeders I'd see her coming good. Prob. double handed in the Breeders filly race now eitherway

Content could go to the turf I guess. That market is a mess atm.

Only one confirmed runner that I've read.

Appleby didn't do great at Woodbine and Measured Time was beat lto.

Yeah clear Measured T was being lined up but didn't get 1 4 at all, that was a terrible race and he couldn't even win that over 1 4 so has no hope in a Breeders so imagine they won't go.

I would love to see Calandagan backed up after Ascot, quick turn around but not impossible, take a hell of whacking if he does.

Impossibile to figure out what will run atm

He did say Rebel's Romance would go if Measured Time didn't, but not sure if they'll stick to that.

Rated By Merit in the Juvenile for me at 14s, there's no value in Jonathan's way and this lad did a half mile in 44 seconds and kept galloping. Trainer says it's the plan and will send him for a prep race beforehand.
 
Rebels Romance being targetted at the Turf race again instead of Hong K. Assume he'll take Measured Time place who didn't get home last day over the trip

As big as 14/1 out there

A race that will cut up loads with so many unknowns
 
Given we're going to be getting some big trials in the coming weeks, if you have a sky account you should probably look there first after a race is over as the traders tend to be asleep at night, especially on the juvenile markets
