Quality Road has several races that win this. His last two performances at Saratoga aren't among them however. I expect him to win.
Blame seems very certain to get a piece. He would rank among the all-time worst BC Classic winners ever if he's somehow able to pull this off...but a simple combo of QR running to his Saratoga form, Haynesfield getting softened up enough by QR and Zenyatta failing to adjust to the pace - would figure to make Blame the most likely winner.
I'm not going to use Zenyatta in the trifecta or superfecta. I don't like her chances of winning - especially in relation to her odds - and I hate her chances of running like 3rd or 4th - or maybe even 2nd to any horse outside of Quality Road.
If Zenyatta is able to run 12 to 15 lengths faster early than she's been running - and is still comfortable with going that fast early - and doesn't lose her final kick ... she'll probably absolutely blow the doors off of this field. Forget about a narrow win .. it will be a good margin. I'll believe it when I see it. I expect her to look way flatter than she's ever looked and hopefully she's unable to grind it out for 4th. She's a true wildcard at best in there - and is going to be bet like a horse who has several recent races on her form that put her in the winners circle with a repeat.

I caught the late double - but not exactly for that much.
Chalk this years Breeders Cup up as a stalemate and put one in the tie column.
Had Champ Pegasus actually won the Breeders Cup Turf - I would have been skinned alive and lost everything in a certain account. I'd be in need of the suicide hotline number at the least. I took a position placing everything against him in a market.
