Which Breeders Cup Race Are You...

most looking forward to and why? Whether it be because of a strong opinion on a longshot, sentimental reasons, you love Todd Pletcher, Baffert etc.

Alternatively, if you only care about the Zenyatta Party...shut up.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Dirt Mile. I'm still not sure I like the idea of the race it's self, but that's not the topic. I'm interested in seeing Wilburn and The Factor. Both 3yr olds with big upside still. The Factor has to bounce back, but I think he is capable. Trappe Shot is one of my favorite horses in training, but I hate his campaign this year. At a short price he is going to beat me. The Juvy is always worth paying attention to. I think Creative Cause is a pretty serious horse, but that race looks pretty strong this year. I do believe he is least likely to run a bad race though. Excited to see them all actually. This is the first year in a while I wont be betting every BC race, but I will still watch. I want to see Plum Pretty run another big race, I have been on her since last year. Then the Classic.... Uncle Mo, all week I have been reading hes not healthy and he might scratch. Today Repole says he is doing great, and if that's true this race is a forgone conclusion. He cant lose if hes doing well. His health is always an issue though, and I believe Flat Out is least likely to throw in a clunker. Tomorrows races look really chalky. Maybe not actual ML favorites winning, but I don't see much over 10-1 with much of a chance. I have a pick 3 on paper using 9 in the Juvy turf fillies, and I cant see any of the 9 horses being over 12-1. I think Turbulent Descent is losing and I'm looking forward to that, but it might be to Switch around 5-2. I'm also excited about seeing Secret Circle, very excited. I got word about him before his debut and still to this day cant believe the price I got on him. Would love to see him just crush that race and stretch out successfully later on in his career.

I just can't get into this year's BC.

If Goldikova wins that will be awesome, but other than that perhaps the Dirt Mile is the race I'm most looking forward to.

My Breeders Cup is simple. If Jackson Bend wins I WILL make money.....

I'm looking forward to every single one of them except the Turf Sprint.

Probably will end up being the only one I hit.

The Mile. Likely you won't remember very many of these races in 10 years, but a Goldlikova win is one that will stick around forever.

Same here. If she can pull off a fourth, it'll be a feat never repeated in BC history. Hell, I don't see anyone winning three again.
