Saturday's BC Races

Postby TJ » Tue Oct 27, 2015 11:00 am

Here are the nine BC races for Saturday Oct 31st....past performance's below each race. The Classic is the last time we get to see American Pharoah run, but you may not know it also marks Honor Code's final race as well...both will be heading to the breeding shed. I hope I got all the links right....if there are any problems with the links, let me know? TJ

Thank you for posting all of this.

Friday, unfortunately, reduces down to watching Liam's Map to see if he is indeed the star that I think he is. I really equate him to Cross Traffic, who I am breeding to multiple times. Might need to look at this guy if he retires afterwards.

I hate to post predictions - for eternity you can look like an idiot - but it is the Breeders Cup. A lot of it comes down to rooting for interests/people we know.

In the JuvFillies - for a month I've been liking Dothraki Queen. They say her last race was slow, blah blah blah - but she got a lousy ride and it was in the wet. A little surprised that they're keeping C-Lan,but I think she can be right there.

In the Turf Sprint - I lost to Ready for Rye at the Spa this year and he impressed me. He's got a good shot here.

In the F&M "Sprint" - definitely rooting for Kiaran here. Would love to see Sophie Doyle do well too.

The F&M Turf - sorry...doesn't get the blood pumping.

The Sprint - I watched Runhappy blow by my horse in a maiden breaker last winter and have liked him ever since...but I have a feeling a longshot will jump up here. But I could very happily watch Rene Douglas in the winner's circle....nice story.

The Mile - zzzzzz. Wouldn't bother me to see Tepin do well. I've always like the old Oliver Goldsmith breeding...

Juvenile - The balloon really deflated on Monday when a tendon injury cost my small stable trainer his shot. Really like rooting for the little guys, but I think Dale is sending out a really good one here.

Turf- Just want to watch to see if indeed we have another superstar here...

Finally - Have to root for my favorite mare of all time...but I think Dale is sitting on a big race here....so I will go with the mare over Keen Ice.

Overall - a pretty interesting Saturday.

You're welcome CT, Cree....I figured we better get a head start with all these races, it'll be a full time job figuring these out:>) Especially with inclement weather in the forecast. Today's forecast (Wed.) 100% rain....it's raining so hard there this morning, Baffert didn't even send AP to the track which was a mess....turf course was opened and labeled soft. Thursday 80% rain...Friday expected to be clear and sunny....on Saturday rain gets started heavy by 5PM. So it looks like the weather and horse gods will cooperate with American Pharoah once again....Preakness Deja Vu:>) The turf should be in pretty bad shape all week....so the Euro's may have an extra big edge this year.

I am going to be hunkered down on Halloween, glued to the TV. I look forward to watching Liam's Map and company in the Dirt Mile, Golden Horn/The Pizza Man, Tap To It/Rachel's Valentina, and of course, the Classic... I won't have a voice left after that race!

I'm glad, by chance, that I'm working home on Friday... I can work with TVG secretly on. :mrgreen:

TALE OF S'AVALL in BC Juvenile has not yet been scratched, but he is expected to be. This could move Siding Spring in the race? TJ
UPDATE: It's official, he's out of the Juvenile....

Hi Cree,
Thanks for the scratch...you're a handicapping machine. I needed a days rest after the first four today, what's left of my brain hurts:>) Maybe I'll coffee up and give it a try later:>) TJ

Hi Cree,
Yes we did OK...I got pretty lucky too, thanks to the Keeneland announcers who are very informative and keep a close eye on how they are acting in the paddock. They talked me into throwing out 3 horses in the Distaff I was thinking about using and posted two in my picks. First with a negative stat about Kiaran (Wedding Toast)...the stat was he's never won a GR 1 Race in Kentucky. Then they said I'm a Chatterbox almost flipped in the paddock and Sheer Drama was out of sorts...that left me with the top two horses in the race and put the rest in the 3rd slot for a nice tri. So I'm coffee'd up now, with some extra gamblin' money in my pocket so I got my head deep in the form....lets kill em tomorrow:>) One of the announcers said the weather may hold till after post time of the Classic? Looks like they expect it to rain around 6PM....hope they're right? TJ

Scratch Alert: As rumored since he arrived at Keeneland, Smooth Roller who missed his final BC workout last week at Keeneland finally gives in and scratches. With the only two speed horses exiting the Classic (Smooth Roller and Beholder) it leaves the pace at AP's discretion. Hmmm, I wonder if the Euro can show his speed on the dirt?? TJ

This race was exciting...until now. 2 of the horses that would go with American Pharoah on the front end are scratched. I don't know if if he will have it easy, but this race has watered down a bit. Liam's Map should've been in the Classic. :-(

Hard Not To Like and Talmada are out of the F & M Turf.
