Kip Deville will not be a Breeders Cup Mile favorite.

I would bet he is one of the top 3 in the ML. I would take him over any American horse at 1 mile. His effort at Keeneland against Showing Up made me a believer. I think the beyer was around 105.

Dutrow has done it before (and will do it again) -- and has been successful at it. I guess we will soon see.

He had a soft trip that day---and beat a horse making his return off a layoff who's since been injured.

I'm not sold on Kip Deville....I realize he got a very moderate ride on Memorial day---but he probably figured to get that kind of ride going in---he's pretty overrated IMO.

That horse is a good horse and has a shot to hit the board, just off memory. I hit that horse a couple times recently at the SA meet

Good to know.
I have never heard of him before, but all of the horses that I HAVE heard of in this race are certainly vulnerable.

Kip was boxed in with no place to run until the stretch......but then he was turned loose and he ran hard but was unable to keep up with Becrux and was being passed up by Right Special. With a clear trip, he would have been closer to the winner but doubtful he would have won.
