Is It Too Early To Ask Who Should Be In The Breeders Cup Juvenile

Let me see, Maimonides gets in because:

A. He won a maiden race(dozens of two year olds have done that)

B. He ran a 89 Beyer figure(As of today, 14 colts and geldings have recorded a higher figure, 8 of them at a longer distance)

C. He cost a lot of money and has high profile connections.

It is hard to know with these 2yo at this point, but I think The Roundhouse will be there. He has had a couple decent finishes in graded stakes races and considering his connections and pedigree, they will probably want to take a shot with him.

Going out on a limb. Loved the way Paint broke his maiden at the Spa. Trainer who knows how to win. Saying he is a factor in Juvenille and in TC races next year

I was impressed with Prussian breaking his maiden. If he can stretch out he should be in the field.

He won't even have to stretch out much given his debut was at the BC Juvenile distance of a mile and a sixteenth. His debut was extremely impressive though. The fractions were slow early, but he was full of run late.

There's juvenile turf race this year, so I doubt he goes in the BCJ.

I thought that Majestic Warrior looked pretty good winning his debut at Saratoga a few weeks ago. It will be interesting to see if Mott puts him on a BC course.
