Default The GP Breeders Cup Turf may go through "Go Between"

Go Between should be decent value and has a few historical items of note.

1) 2-2 on turf at GP Edgar has a win and a second on the horse in 2 starts in the last 12 months. The win a graded stakes at GP from similiar post. A slight homefield familiarity if not advantage over some.

2) His pattern is forward with a possibility that he may not have reached his peak this racing cycle if he gets a favorable trip. It is possible that if there really is a "speed bias" to the turf course as it becomes drier and harder as some DT's have suggested that he may try and steal it even at 11F knowing that others in the race are better closers and his best chance is to press or wire it.

3) His last race against Lavadude was perhaps his best albeit in a losing effort and thankfully this isn't California Toto where Lavaman dominates but a track that Go Between is comfortable at and has a modest history of evolving success.

4) As the sage in numerous posts above says this isn't the greatest stakes race period and thus may be devoid of early or earlier speed so having the ability to potentially exploit a racing angle or approach may spell success for #4.

I'm keying the 4 over 2/6/8....and hoping for the best.
