Race 4 — F&M Sprint

Tons of speed in the race likely to set it up for closer.

6- Bellafina – 6-1

Could get dream trip and is 4 for 4 at Santa Anita. Advantage local horse.

4 – Come Dancing – 5-2

Running style benefits her. Been facing small fields back east

1 – Covfefe – 2-1

Speed of speed has to outrun the others early and hold off closers.

Chance to hit board – 5- Lady Ninja – 10-1 – Extra distance helps

Race 5 — Turf Sprint

Tough race and is wide open.

Outside posts at the meet on this turf course haven’t fared too well.

3 – Imprimus – 8-1

Could be sitting in garden spot turning for home. Tons of talent. Don’t like jockey switch.

2 – Pure Sensation – 5-1

Classy horse will be gunning for lead. May face pressure but could hold on late.

6 – Stormy Liberal – 8-1

Won this race last year. Should get nice trip

Chance to hit board – 13 – Girls Know best – 20-1 – Tons of speed if draws in and could hang around for share.

Race 6 – Dirt Mile

1 – Giant Expectations – 12-1

Faced the best company in the field and has consistent (and good) speed figs. Can sit off the pace, save ground, and be in the mix late for the upset.

5 – Omaha Beach – 8-5

Likely favorite would best be served rating today. Could win easy in very suspect field, comprised mainly of 3yos.

6 – Ambassadorial – 30-1

Blow up the board with this one. First Lasix for a horse well bred for dirt.

Chance to hit board – 3 – Spun to Run – 6-1 – Improving 3yo may get the set up needed.

Race 7 – F&M Turf

2 – Sistercharlie – 8-5

Won 6 in a row and should get the set up again

10 – Mrs Sippy – 8-1

Has done well turning back and here in US with Lasix

3 – Fleeting – 6-1

3yo should like the distance.

Chance to hit board – 4 – Billesdon Brook 10-1 – Faced some of the best last year

Race 8 – Sprint

9 – Imperial Hint – 4-1

Dream set up off likely fast pace.

3 – Firenze Fire – 12-1

Would benefit the most if the pace is blistering, and has tons of talent

4 – Mitole – 9-5

One to beat but could take pace pressure to his outside

Chance to Hit Board – 6 – Shancelot – 4-1 – Speed of speed is a freak. Jockey tactics key

Race 9 – TVG Turf Mile

Wide open race. Total crapshoot.

11 – Uni – 7-2

Most consistent US horse in race and trained by Chad Brown.

6 Got Stormy – 7-2

Speed figs getting better each race

2 – Lucullan – 12-1

Can save ground and get up late for a share.

Chance to hit Board – 1 – Suedois – Will need to work out a trip but really liked the US debut in last. Worth a flyer for longshot players.

Race 10 – Distaff

FAV looks tough here. Field is loaded with speed so I am leaning towards the closers underneath.

4 – Midnight Bisou – 6-5

The most likely favorite to win on the day should get nice set up and loves this track.

11 – Blue Prize – 6-1

Faced Elate many times and should be closing late.

9 – Serengeti Empress – 12-1

Likely speed of speed has options with outside post. I’m tossing last as PARX strip is often quirky.

Chance to Hit Board – 6 – Wow Cat – 12-1 – Race set up works to her advantage

Race 11 – Breeders Cup Turf

10 – Old Persian – 4-1

Euros seem to dominate this race and firm footing is only question.

9 – Bricks and Mortar – 9-5

Monster horse loves to win. Stretchout may hurt chances with slower pace

11 – Arklow – 12-1

Great value bet on this one at these odds. Can get decent trip here, stalking and pouncing.

Chance to Hit Board – 1 – Zulu Alpha – 20-1 – Hard knocker can hit the board at big price.

Race 12 – Breeders Cup Classic

Not much speed in this one so I expect the pace to be slower than most think. Being around the lead will be key.

10 – Vino Rosso – 4-1

Trip is key as he will get first jump on the closers and could have enough in tank to hold them off. Has a win over track which is a plus.

8 – Mckinzie – 3-1

Lukewarm favorite loves this track and the extra distance is the only wildcard.

5 – Yoshida – 8-1

Will be closing late to earn a share.

Chance to hit board – 2 – Seeking the Soul – 20-1 – Pilot to bombardier special to run a big race here. Had excuses in past few and I love the back class here facing a very weak classic field

Also Consider Underneath :

6 – Elate – 6-1

Always gives it her all and faces boys today. Can hit board.

11 – Code of Honor – 4-1

May not get fast pace and will have too much to do late to earn the win.

GOOD LUCK !!!!
