Default Most Likely BC Winner/Single

Who over the two days do you think are the top 3 most likely winners regardless of odds or would be the horse you would most likely single?

Mine:
1. Mastercraftsmen - outclasses an extemely mediocre field
2. Ventura - in very good form and showed that she likes the surface before
3. Conduit - 4 for 4 on courses with left handed turns and obviously likes SA and hooks another weak field outside of stablemate

Would be very interested to hear from others.

I think Zenyatta will run well but I can't fathom her being the most likely single on this card with that field in the gate.

Even with post 1, Zenzational is still a freak, will run them into the ground and still pull away in the stretch.

Ventura....

Would have said Goldlikova, but she drew outside and that field is loaded.

i agree with both of those. ventura entered where shes going to be very, very tough. music note looks like a monster off her last two and ran well last year, she looks better this year. i can't possibly single zenyatta, first time boys, first time distance, crummy price. that alone cries for me to use "others".

So you might single one or the other between Rip and Zenyatta but prefer Zenyatta?

I think Zenyatta is much more likely to win. But it's racing and anything can happen and I think if for some reason, she doesn't get it done, I think if Rip takes to the track, he's more likely to win that race than any other horse I can think of in another race besides Ventura. Zenyatta is my choice to win though.
