Efficient, profitable Friday to start the Cup with serious run at a big P5 hit falling short when anchor leg complexion changed on Midnight Hawk’s poor break. $25.00 score in Twilight Derby with Mystic Lake hero Long On Value giving the afternoon ballast including $129 straight P3 with Brendan Walsh’s impressive Cary Street in the Marathon and Walther Solis’ Cal stake juvy My Fiona. Fantastic performances in the Cup races from Hootenanny, Lady Eli, Goldencents and Untapable who were all dominant. Prices couldn’t impact any slots other than deep exotics Friday, but expect that will change Saturday. Hope everyone did well. Watch early in the day for decisions on early turf given the rain that fell overnight. Might prove hard to hold back the speed on the main track early on too given the precipitation and tendency to tighten the surface.

Hill course Cup events has been provenance of Left Coast runners/riders and this set looks like it shouldn’t be exception. Like Judy the Beauty with Groupie Doll out of the way, Reneesgotzip tries to crown herself queen of the hill in Mizdirection’s absence. Post no bargain and there’s plenty of speed involved. Eddie D exacta pair of Home Run Kitten/Ambitious Brew make great sense, but Silentio has the profile of success for this turning back from the mile trip. Castellano has ridden the hill well and don’t forget that he and Tightend Touchdown were 2nd here a year ago.

With American Pharaoh out of this, Carpe Diem, Daredevil and Upstart are your principals. Texas Red is a big boy that is maturing rapidly and with any more improvement, can win at a big number.

As with the approach to the Mile, will appreciate prowess of the Euros while being sure to respect the 2 best North American players in Hardest Core and Main Sequence.

I always stick to the Top 4 I offer in the Xpressbet BC Wagering Guide and that group looks fine 2 weeks after my initial thoughts were penned. California Chrome turns out to be the surprise ‘now’ horse of this Classic, clearly on edge physically and posted nicely for outside stalking voyage behind the pace-setting speed Bayern & Moreno. Cigar Street can draft in from inside as well and could offset Mott disappointment in Friday’s feature when Close Hatches retired at the half mile pole. Bayern is of course a danger up front and could end an arduous week for Baffert who lost Midnight Lucky and American Pharaoh from the Cup at 11th hours. A truly terrific assembly..

Every year we arrive at this juncture and I introduce the Breeders’ Cup invocation. The Cup offers unique opportunities with chances to be rewarded for creative thinking and audacious risk-taking. Some will come away delighted and some maddeningly frustrated, but all should approach these races as the curious and challenging puzzles they’ve become. No matter how well you ‘handicap’ the races, fields this deep and mysterious will produce several nearly unforeseeable results. Remember that you could be taking an ‘0-fer’ going into Saturday’s finale and get it all back, and more, in the 2:02.0 it takes to run Saturday’s Classic. But no matter how the ledger looks when it’s over, appreciate that your ability as a horseplayer won’t be defined over the course of 2 days. Spend as freely as you can afford, get a little lucky, and here’s hoping that everyone nets something that fills their account and makes them proud.

It’s again been a pleasure trying to bring the flavor of the Cup to everyone listening and I hope there was something offered that you can convert into winning tickets. Thanks to Santa Anita, ATR’s sponsors and everyone who contributed so generously to the shows.. Best of luck this weekend!

You’ve heard me talk about Andy Harrington/National Turf many times, but I’m going to do another plug here. Friday’s Santa Anita nightcap was a rag tag MDN CLM affair with an obvious favorite in Freakin Amazing and little other clear contenders. It was a spot that cried out for a price inclusion and reaching for a hint or two from Harrington’s workout notes was vital. Eddie Freeman’s Native Heart was making a 2nd start, an area the trainer excels, and his 10/1 drill produced this Harrington comment: May be better than debut going the last 1/4 in 24.3 under some late wraps. Rounding forward. — Grade: B-.

Freeman’s strong 21% 2nd/start and that encouraging Harrington blurb was all you really need when looking for an offbeat option. Native Heart proceeded to run a courageous race at 55-1, only yielding in the last few jumps to the highly likely favorite. The exacta paid $150 and the tri $1,136 with the 2nd choice running third. National Turf costs $10 for Harrington’s view of 80% of a card’s workouts and you can’t play Southern California seriously without it.

Hope everyone did well Friday. Big multi-day carryovers at Belmont and Santa Anita today, but I’m on the road for a wedding and only have Keeneland ideas today..
