3rd
Breeders Cup day 2 11/5/11
Couldn’t wait to get this work done so I could have a clear head for the day’s handicapping. Horses with ** are 6-1 or better in the morning-line.

MARATHON
Using a different source for material for this race and the BC TURF, I don’t have access to all the variables I normally use. Here are my choices thus far for win/exacta
6 Brigantin 8 Afleet Again
7 Harrison’s Cave
3 Meeznah Might be the one race today producing large payouts.
***
JUVENILE TURF
Another terribly wide open race, but here are 7 I like for the top 2:
4 Farraj
5 Wrote
7 Caspar Netscher
9 Daddy Nose Best
10 Animal Spirits
**13 Finale
Tequila Factor
***************************
SPRINT
This race has just one clear contender to me, and that horse is Giant Ryan. Candidate to bounce, but has good ROI numbers.
*************************
TURF SPRINT
Win:
2 **10 11: Holiday For Kitten, Havelock, Camp Victory
Exacta: these three plus #8**, Regally Ready ****************************
DIRT MILE
These look best for both win and exacta:
2 Shackleford**
3 Tapizar
5 Wilburn ** Chalky!
*************************
TURF
Relatively little info to go on, but I do like these two for win and exacta:
1 Await The Dawn**
9 Midday ** Chalky! ******************************
JUVENILE
A billion horses all viable here. Here are the ones that stand out:
2 Dullahan 3 Crusade
6 Prospective (win only) 8 Speightscity 11 Daddy Long Legs 13 Optimizer **********************************
MILE
Contenders for this one for top two are:
1 Goldikova** 2 Zoffrany 4 Mr. Commons 8 Byword 11 Strong Suit 6 Get Stormy (exacta only) 12 Compliance Officer (exacta only)
********************************
CLASSIC
Down to three horses for the big one:
Everyone likes #12** Uncle Mo, and I’ll join that bandwagon. Forged a new career best pace score, could bounce. #3 Drosselmeyer has similar pace angle. #8 Game On Dude might be returning to peak form with this race. Follow me on twitter at @radiocblue to get my updated wagers prior to each race.
