Breeders’ Cup Weekend off to a rousing start Thursday with $440k double carryover to whet appetites. Hard not to get involved with solid sequence — albeit with a weak finale — that will top $2,500,000..

Favorites stand out here with Barry Abrams daring anyone to take Hotradamus. Carbonite certainly eligible on his good races but Luis Saez makes downhill course debut here. Mr. Bossy Pants is a trouper. Romeo Royale is marginally interesting but Felipe Martinez comes in 0/43..

As mentioned on ATR, Leonard Powell — who sends Aotearao in Friday BC Juvy Filly Turf — has a key horse here in Soi Phet who has steadily improved since being swiped for just $16k in May. Owns pace edge and is a single consider for small tickets..

Exotics Use: #1 Drill 5-1 (C)
7th: Cal-OC/N1X, F&M-3+, 6.5f-T (DD)
Singling Chimi Dee here sporting everything you like coming down the hill as she cut back from a mile from perfect post. Faced open company and fared OK two back and owns placement on the course from earlier this year..
