Wow, lots of upsets in Day 1 of the Breeders Cup yesterday, one of which was your lady’s value bet, She Be Wild, who cruised on home in a perfect trip in the Juvenile Fillies.Best Bet and Value Bet did not fare so well, but we have a chance to improve today with Day 2 of the BC races.

Your BEST BET is 13 LOOKIN AT LUCKY in RACE 5, The Breeders Cup Juvenile (8/5 ML). 13 is certainly not the luckiest of numbers, but this guy has the talent to overcome the outside post and the pilot to help him do it. He’s been working very well on the Santa Anita course and Baffert/Gomez are an amazing 51% this meet. Not a lot of value to be had with Lucky, but it looks like his race to win or lose. You might key him with Noble’s Promise, Aikenite or Radiohead in the exotics to get a little more bang for your buck.

Your NEXT BEST BET is 6 RICHARD’S KID in RACE 9, The Breeders Cup Classic (12/1 ML). I know, I’m going out on a limb with this one and I sure hate betting against my beautiful Zenyatta, but this Kid looks prime to pull an upset. Baffert colt has been steadily improving this year while some of his opponents are declining. He won the Pacific Classic (even after his rider lost the whip) and is coming off a very close third in the Goodwood. He has posted a nice string of bullet works here and trainer Baffert has been dominating the Oaktree meet. Look for him to come on late.

Your VALUE BET is WIN/PLACE/SHOW on 7 GOTTA HAVE HER in RACE 3, The Breeders Cup Turf Sprint (15/1 ML). California Flag is going to be tough to run down, but this mare will try to catch him late. She’s the horse for the course, having finished in the money in 8 of 9 turf starts here – plus a perfect 4 for 4 on this downhill course. She’s done her best work for Tyler Baze, who knows how to win for this barn. She may not be as highly regarded as the other mare in this field, but I think she might surprise at a juicy price.

Lady Luck

BEST BET—SANTA ANITA—RACE 5 —-# 3 BLIND LUCK.
Once again I am a firm believer in teh CALDER/ SO. CAL shuttle. The So. Fla track produces runner sthat love the fake track. BLIND LUCK went from CALDER and a 13 length win to a Grade I victory over this strip a month ago. We know she can get the 2 turns, we know she likes the track surface…SEND IT IN.
 
NEXT BEST—SANTA ANITA —-RACE 2—# 9 STUNNINGLY.
A nice play in the pre-breeders card. She made a nice move in her last going 6f at SA. The extre 1/2 furlong will be greatly appreciated. Garrett Gomez stays aboard and she will be coming fast and hard late. Get it done at 6 1/2 today.
 
VALUE BET—SANTA ANITA—RACE 3—# 4 CLOUDYS KNIGHT.
This old war horse is coming in off 2 very impressive wins. Jonathan Sheppard has him at tight as can be. We know he loves the grass and can run all day. I have on authority that MASTERY is not in top shape for todays race. That makes him a good play against and CLOUDYS KNIGHT  a good play in the BC Marathon.
 
Good Luck today, Tomorrow is the finale at SA and the Breeders Cup. Dont forget to see my other BC Plays on R2D.

Yip! It’s finally here. First day of the Breeders’ Cup Wagering with Racing2day.com. Hopefully this lady’s luck from yesterday will stick around today. Next Best won and Value Bet placed, which made up for my Best Bet scratch. Now, on to today’s business.

Your BEST BET is 1 CARELESS JEWEL in RACE 8, The Breeders Cup Ladies Classic (2/1 ML). Now that it’s official that supermare Zenyatta will be running with the boys this year, picking a winner in this one is a difficult job indeed. Godolphin has a one-two punch in entries Cocoa Beach and Music Note. Cocoa Beach has a chance to shine without following in Zenyatta’s shadow as she did last year. Music Note is in terrific form right now, having won two consecutive G1s with ease. Finished 3rd to Zenyatta and Music Note last year, but she’s been pretty tough in 2009. Life is Sweet is another interesting filly in this. She seems to have slipped a little since some amazing performances last spring, but she has been working well for this and loves Santa Anita. Brit Proviso won her US debut in the Spinster at Keeneland and looks to be a contender. But my money is on gray girl CARELESS JEWEL. She has won 5 of 6 starts, finishing third in her debut, and just keeps getting better. She posted a smoking 106 Beyer when she easily won the 1 1/4 mile Alabama by 11 lengths in August. Even though dirt seems to be her preferred surface, she boasts a bullet-ridden work tab on the synthetic, noteably the 6f in 1:11 on 10/27. The hard-packed Pro-Ride this year may play in her favor. She has tons of early speed and once she’s gone may be hard to catch.

Your NEXT BEST BET is 4 MAGICAL FANTASY in RACE 6, The Breeders Cup Filly & Mare Turf (3/1 ML). Consistent filly is coming off a string of 4 Graded Stakes turf wins, 2 of which were at this distance at this track. She’s been working very well on the Santa Anita grass and posted a nice 6f bullet here on 10/4. Regular rider Solis stays with her. It’s not going to be easy against this bunch and a clean trip is mandatory, but I think she’ll get the job done.

Your VALUE BET is WIN/PLACE/SHOW on 8 SHE BE WILD in RACE 5, The Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies (8/1 ML). This looks like a wide-open race and this tough Kentucky girl may be ignored at the windows. Got caught by Negligee in the Alcibiades, but was undefeated up to that point. Sharp works at Keeneland plus she loves the synthetic. Trainer Catalano knows how to win Graded Stakes.

Lady Luck

All eyes of the horseracing world on Santa Anita today and tomorrow and that includes those of Jersey Joe. Now, if by chance, we should happen to outshine a few members of the resident R2D thoroughbred team here on the harness blog, I don’t want anyone to be too surprised. The Mile Pro is actually of huge fan of the sport’s biggest day, and hasn’t missed a race in 25 years! Best of luck everyone!        
 
Best Bet
Race 5
The Breeder’s Cup Juvenile Fillies
#4 Beautician
It was a tale of two trips for two horses in the Alcibiades, when tiring pacesetter Decelerator drifted out at the 1/8th pole. Maragh and Negligee were given a huge hole to run through while Beautician and Desormeaux were simultaneously knocked sideways twice, losing all chance. She was given a patient ride while handling the surface and was only just being asked to run when this incident occurred. She draws well for this and should sit another stalking trip behind what is guaranteed to be a fast pace.
 
Next Best Bet
Race 4
The Breeder’s Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf
#3 Smart Seattle
She chased Tapitsfly in her first 2 turn try in the PG Johnson and came up a bit short. She’s made winning moves in all 3 of her lifetime starts. She has shown the ability to relax and settle nicely behind the speed. Rose back in the irons and he knows he may have compromised this filly’s chances in each of the last two with premature moves. In the expert hands of Motion, this gal puts it all together today.
 
Value Bet
Race 8
The Breeder’s Cup Ladies Classsic
Exacta Box
#5 Proviso, #7 Music Note
Proviso made quite the splash in a visually spectacular win in the Spinster, and gave every indication she’d be a force to reckon with in the big one Friday. No knocks on the Godolphin tour-de-force Music Note. She comes here off of a pair of absolutely dominant Grade 1 victories out east. She was a major factor on this strip in last year’s edition. No reason to expect her not to fire. 
 
Regards,
Jersey Joe, Mile Pro

FRIDAY BREEDER’S CUP SELECTIONS FROM SANTA ANITA- BRONCOBUSTER

It’s Breeders’ Cup Week visit our Breeders’ Cup Microsite today. Click Here!
 
All the build up and hype has been going on all week and the first day of two has finally arrived.  Several horses double entered and final decisions were made on Monday and the build up to this years Breeder’s began as the final pieces to the puzzle were put into place. 
 
I would like to thank R2D and all their efforts to market and promote this event along with their sponsorships to the charity races for Old Friends.
Hopefully Broncobuster can can come up with some winners for such a good cause.
 
Here are some considerations for today and i wish everyone lots of luck at this years Breeder’s Cup.
 
Best Bet- Race 7 #9 Ventura, M/L 8-5. WIN WAGER. Classy as they come with 2.2 million in her saddle bag. She looks to close out a great campaign and possibly a career with this 7F sprint.  Draws a nice outer post and Gomez will have her in a winning spot.  Her race to win or lose, but her class will be able to dig down pretty deep.  She is 2/2 on the synthetic at Santa Anita and 3 wins in 5 at todays distance.  This classy gal is 17/19 in the frame and a win here puts her shy of 3 million for her illusturious career. 
 
Next Best- Race 4 #8 Lillie Langtry, M/L 3-1. WIN WAGER. O’brien juvenile filly finds a nice spot in the juvenile turf.  She towers over this field with earnings nearing a million and has NEVER been out of the frame, going 3-2-1 in her six starts.  She has posted triple beyer ratings in 3 of 6 career starts while many of her competitors have yet to break a 90.  Anywhere near her morning line would be a generous offering. 
 
Value Bet- Race 6 #3 Rutherienne, M/L 8-1.   WIN, PLACE, SHOW.  5 yr old daughter of Pulpit has made a career playing a brides maid to Forever Together and will try to finally turn the tables and have her day in the sun!  This classy gal has 1.2 million made, yet she has never been in a Breeder’s Cup!  That stat may not mean a whole lot, as she has raced in 18 consectutive Graded Stake events. She has been in the frame in 13 consectutive starts! She lost a head bob 3 back to Forever Together and a repeat of that is good enough to consider this one at a value price!  Hard not to go across the board on a gal who is 20/22 on the board, especially if anywhere near her morning line!
