DNB
Optimizer
TCI
UR
CC
Bode
RS
Alpha
El Pad
Liason

A lot of very evenly-matched match-ups. Creative Cause is the most ideal match-up horse because he's run seven straight races at the Gr 1 or Gr 2 level and hasn't been beaten more than a length ever. His running style is very versitale, his jockey is patient and very competent, and he's held form when he shipped and ran over the track.

When I played match-ups offshores and in markets like ehorseX -- I'd look for horses whose chances I despised and try to match them up against the one who looked safest to fire. Annoyingly, you matched CC up with a horse who is my top pick in the race...but also not quite proven enough on dirt to back heads-up against a horse who is the most likely one in the field to finish in the top five.

You are doomed. My head to head picks are all the same as yours except one.

You have nothing to worry about.

What's so crazy about that? I think Dullahan will finish ahead of Creative Cause.
