3 Post Position Analysis BREEDERS CUP CLASSIC Collected may have an issue getting the lead out of post 12 with Pavel to his inside from the 10 post. If Collected is hell-bent on getting the lead from the outside, then the pace may get hot. The three horses to Arrogate s right will drop out of it early, giving Mike Smith room to operate from post 1. Gun Runner (from post 5) may be next to Arrogate s outside to start and they may hook up the whole race behind the early pace. However, Arrogate may just pull another Travers, where Mike Smith darts to the lead from the rail and says, Catch me if you can! This will be a chess match for the ages! BREEDERS CUP TURF Highland Reel may repeat last year s speed tactic from post 3. Beach Patrol and Oscar Performance, drawing posts 12 and 14, respectively, will both need to get on the engine early to get position and press Highland Reel. Oscar Performance should cherish that he ll be outside of Beach Patrol, unlike in the Hirsch, when he was buried on the rail while Beach Patrol got a clear path to draw off by 5 lengths. BREEDERS CUP JUVENILE Bolt d Oro had a moderate pace in the FrontRunner; it will be faster here. Bahamian will want the lead from post 8 after not getting it in the Champagne due to a stumbling start. The Tabulator and Hazit will also flash speed from posts 7 and 9, respectively. With all three of them to the inside of Bolt d Oro, he may be four-wide into the first turn after leaving from post 11 if he doesn t take back. Golden Dragon is a huge longshot to use. This may set it up for Free Drop Billy to make a huge late run. Firenze Fire s Champagne win was a bit too pace-aided to be used to strongly going around two-turns for the first time. U S Navy Flag drawing the rail is a real problem, since he will take tons of mud to the face in his first dirt race, so he may show speed early in order to not get the kick-back. He should be able to out-sprint the horses to his outside, so jockey Ryan Moore may try to get him in the clear. BREEDERS CUP MILE Midnight Storm will be on the engine breaking from post 1, with Heart to Heart pressing for the lead early after breaking from post 2. This race may be a total pace meltdown, as Mr. Roary can also show speed from post 3 as he stretches out from a downhill sprint. Home of the Brave (from post 9) and Karar (from post 14) have also been known to show speed. The filly, Roly Poly, can also show speed and leaves from gate 12. World Approval will be able to set up shop right to the outside of the early speed out of post 5, but he s had slow paces lately and may not be as likely here. Ribchester also likes to be close to the early pace and was outrun in the QE2, so he may be a pace casualty if he decides to go. No one benefits more from a firm turf and fast pace than Zelzal. Lancaster Bomber made big moves late in his two North American races. BREEDERS CUP SPRINT Imperial Hint will be able to chase outside of Drefong from post 10. Takaful has also been involved with hot paces lately and will leave from post 7. Leaving from post 2, Drefong is no longer a lay-up in this spot. American Pastime is a big-time longshot to play off of a Gallant Bob where he broke poorly. He ll be able to use his tactical speed leaving from post 3. BREEDERS CUP FILLY & MARE TURF Avenge looks like the pacesetter on paper but will need to get the lead from post 12. Zipessa may get the lead from post 4. The Euros don t look like they want to be setting the pace. The long run down the chute and the lack of early speed in the race will likely result in a slow-tomoderate pace. Those that can stalk will benefit, including Lady Eli, Grand Jete, and Rhododendron (who drew post 14). Dacita and Queen s Trust will have their work cut out for them to close into this slower pace. BREEDERS CUP FILLY & MARE SPRINT Unique Bella may need to stalk from post 11, which may be the best thing. Bad posts for Carina Mia (1) and Paulasilverlining (2), while Princess Karen may try to clear the whole field from post 13. The pace may get really hot with a lot of stalkers that can show speed early. Paulassilverlining may need to go for the lead and try to take them gate-to-wire. Finest City may be horse one to make one run and close on them if the pace heats up, with jockey Corey Nakatani replacing her regular rider, Mike Smith. Ami s Mesa is another that can make a run late from post 14. BREEDERS CUP TURF SPRINT There isn t a hell-bent, get-to-the-lead type in this 5-furlong sprint. Lady Aurelia may book it from post 3, but Pure Sensation might send from post 12 and just go for it. Disco Partner may have no chance from his rail draw if the pace is blistering hot. Richard s Boy and Bucchero will both show early speed from posts 7 and 12, respectively. BREEDERS CUP JUVENILE FILLIES Separationofpowers drawing post 13, a rough spot for a speed horse, so she ll have to sit back off of a decent pace early, but trust jockey Jose Ortiz to make the right move. Alluring Star figures to go to the lead from post 9 if she can clear Moonshine Memories from post 7. Alluring Star is a possibility to wire this field. Heavenly Love may show some speed from the inside rail draw, along with Gio Game from post 4. The pace should be decent like the Chandelier, where Alluring Star was chased down by Moonshine Memories. Wonder Gadot is a wildcard, showing speed last time into a very slow pace. BREEDERS CUP DISTAFF Champagne Room drew the rail and will need to go early in order to keep Paradise Woods company as she drops down from post 7, which may quicken the pace. Stellar Wind has been able to win off of slow paces and may not get it here. Elate s post 5 is a very good draw. Note that Forever Unbridled has a jockey change to John Velazquez from Joel Rosario. BREEDERS CUP JUVENILE TURF Hemp Hemp Hurray and Snapper Sinclair may be forced to move early from posts 12 and 11, respectively, which could quicken the pace, but this may be a slower-paced race than the Juvenile Fillies Turf. It s possible that the winner will come from the second flight because of the expected slower pace. Voting Control was far back in his last due to a poor start and in his maiden due to a fast pace, so maybe he will be closer to the pace or mid-pack after leaving from post 8. BREEDERS CUP DIRT MILE It looks like everyone will be chasing Sharp Azteca early from post 3. Gato Del Oro can show speed to his outside from post 4 and make it tough early. Mor Spirit will stalk from post 6. Accelerate will most likely need to take back early from post 8 and make a move later. Practical Joke will drop down from post 10, much like he did in the Kentucky Derby under Rosario, and the pace should be honest enough to set up for his late move, which he ll need to make on the turn with the short stretch at Del Mar. BREEDERS CUP JUVENILE FILLIES TURF This race usually has a fast pace since most of these fillies are stretching out. Ultima D should set the pace from post 5 with Dixie Moon stalking after leaving from post 12. The turf miles at Del Mar are usually run with a pretty decent pace to the first turn, which should set up for main players that will stalk and come from the back like Rushing Fall, Significant Form, Happily, and September. guaranteedtipsheet.com racingdudes.com Page! 3 of 16!

4 Breeders' Cup Classic Purse: $6,000,000 Distance: 1 1/4 Miles Age: 3-year-olds & Up Post Time: Sat., Nov. 4 th Race 12 8:35 p.m. (EST) #1 Arrogate (2/1) - After his romps in the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup and Group 1 Dubai World Cup to start the year, he was being talked about as one of the greatest horses of all time. However, he's trailed off quite a bit, entering here off of back-to-back losses at Del Mar, where he may not like the surface. However, his last workout was ultra-impressive, so he may be back in top form. #5 Gun Runner (9/5) - Winner of three straight Grade 1 races leading up to this Classic, he took the older male division by storm over the summer with blowouts in the Whitney and the Woodward at Saratoga. He's had a solid workout pattern at Santa Anita leading up to this race. #11 Collected (6/1) - The opposite of his stablemate, he loves the Del Mar surface, having won the Grade 1 Pacific Classic over Arrogate in his last start. Lightly raced and ready to roll, he's blossomed into a strong horse as a 4-year-old under Bob Baffert. #8 West Coast (6/1) - A late-bloomer in the 3-year-old division similar to Arrogate last year, he's won four straight races, including Grade 1 scores in the Travers and the Pennsylvania Derby. Trainer Baffert has won three Breeders Cup Classics in a row with 3-year-old colts. #6 Mubtaahij (12/1) - He made his first start for new trainer Baffert a victorious one in the Grade 1 Awesome Again. He always seems to be a threat to hit the board in these major races, having done it time and time again. #10 Pavel (20/1) - This lightly-raced colt is an interesting longshot candidate, but will his lack of experience be too much for him to overcome? He ran third in the Jockey Club Gold Cup last out. #7 Churchill (15/1) - A very surprising late entry into the race, he was expected to compete in the Turf. He will be a wild card, as he's never tried the dirt before, but he does have solid back class. Others: #9 Gunnevera (30/1) comes into the race off of a layoff, as his last start was a second-place effort in the Travers; he'll drop back and try to make one run at the end. #3 Win the Space (30/1) is rounding back into form after a third-place effort in the Awesome Again. #2 War Decree (30/1) is a European shipper who won on synthetic last time out, but this will be his first on the dirt. #4 War Story (30/1) looks to be outclassed here after being beaten by over 13 lengths two straight times. Early Speed: Collected Stalkers: Arrogate, Gun Runner, Pavel, West Coast, Churchill, War Decree Closers: Gunnevera, Mubtaahij, Win the Space, War Story Field Size: 11 Collected is expected to gun it early on, while Arrogate, Gun Runner, and West Coast will be fairly close. However, a lot of these horses have shown that they can carry their speeds, so don't expect a total pace meltdown. Closers like Gunnevera and Mubtaahij should have enough pace to get up late - if they're fast enough to get the job done. Arrogate & Gun Runner are prime plays to end the Pick 4 & 6, but both have questions to answer. Was Arrogate just tired from his huge Dubai win, or does he just hate Del Mar? Can Gun Runner excel at 1 1/4 miles? Either way, both need to be weighted accordingly & heavily on tickets. You can probably get away with using only Arrogate and Gun Runner, but West Coast & Churchill are the back-up plays in multi-race wagers, if your budget allows. Mubtaahij is the key underneath in exotics. Play against Collected off of his Pacific Classic win, where he got it his own way on the front-end. The Play: It all comes down to Gun Runner and the Baffert brigade in this one. Gun Runner certainly has been running better than the rest of these lately, but if his recent workouts are any indication, the old Arrogate might be back. Also, you can't forget about West Coast looming dangerous for Baffert as well. Those are the horse to play on top. Underneath, Mubtaahij and Gunnevera could blow up your tris and supers.

5 Breeders' Cup Turf Purse: $4,000,000 Distance: 1 1/2 Miles Age: 3-year-olds & Up Post Time: Sat., Nov. 4 th Race 11 7:37 p.m. (EST) #3 Highland Reel (5/1) - He won this race last year in wire-to-wire fashion. He has two Group 1 victories in Europe this year, including the very prestigious Prince of Wales s Stakes at Royal Ascot. Trainer Aidan O Brien is no stranger to success in America. #5 Ulysses (7/2) - He committed to the Breeders Cup instead of Ascot, which came as a surprise to many people. He's an extremely accomplished runner in Europe. This year, he's accumulated wins in two Group 1 races and is a perfect six-for-six hitting the board. #12 Beach Patrol (4/1) - He looks like the best American turf horse after back-to-back impressive Grade 1 wins: the Arlington Million and the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic. He also ran second in some tough races earlier this year. Trainer Chad Brown has him in top form at the right time. #14 Oscar Performance (10/1) - The top 3-year-old turf horse in the country tried older horses for the first time in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic and finished third. Last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner, he deserves a shot in this race. #1 Talismanic (15/1) - He's been a consistent horse the whole year, hitting the board in all six starts. He won a Group 2 event at Saint Cloud two races back by 1 1/4 lengths. #10 Fanciful Angel (12/1) - After shipping to the United States for the Arlington Million and running second at big odds, he was then transferred to Brown's care and was second in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic. This horse gives Brown a nice 1-2 punch for the race. #4 Decorated Knight (15/1) - Coming into this race off of an upset win in the Group 1 QIPCO Irish Champion Stakes, he's also won two other Group 1 events this season. He'll be making his United States debut here. #7 Itsinthepost (15/1) - He runs consistently well in California and was second here in August's Grade 2 Del Mar Handicap. Last out, he finished first in the Grade 2 John Henry Turf Championship at Santa Anita. #13 Sadler s Joy (12/1) - He's had a solid 2017, including a big win in the Grade 1 Sword Dancer two races back. Most recently, he ran fourth in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic. Others: #8 Bigger Picture (15/1) pulled off an upset over the summer in the Grade 1 United Nations at Monmouth Park. #2 Bullards Alley (15/1) was a major 42-1 upset winner of the Grade 1 Canadian International by an incredible 10 lengths. #11 Hunt (15/1) seems to be a horse that loves Del Mar after two wins here over the summer. While not as good at other tracks, he's a factor here. #6 Cliffs of Moher (20/1) makes his first start in the United States in this spot after competing overseas in five straight Group 1s. #9 Seventh Heaven (20/1) was fourth in the Filly and Mare Turf last year at Santa Anita. Early Speed: Beach Patrol, Highland Reel, Oscar Performance Stalkers: Decorated Knight, Itsinthepost, Sadler s Joy, Ulysses, Decorated Knight, Talismanic Closers: Bigger Picture, Bullards Alley, Fanciful Angel, Hunt, Seventh Heaven Field Size: 14 Last year, Highland Reel took this field wire-to-wire while never really showing that kind of early speed in races prior. It's not expected that he'll do that again, but if the pace is slow, he can take advantage. New York shippers Oscar Performance and Beach Patrol should make the early going. Both have shown consistent early speed all year long, and both have shown that they can hold their speed very well. Don t expect a pace meltdown here. Highland Reel loves the firm turf & his last two races over soft going are not indicative of how good he can be here. He'll be favored and is a must-use but you need to spread using six more, with Beach Patrol & Oscar Performance as prime U.S. plays and Ulysses & Decorated Knight as European backup plays. Lightly play Fanciful Angel, just because he's Chad Brown-trained, but he's been headstrong in works, which doesn't bode well for 1 1/2 miles. Del Mar's stretch may be too short for Sadler's Joy, but backup with him too, just in case. It's a wide-open affair! The Play: I agree with Slim on this one, it s a totally wide-open affair. Box the two best Euros (Ulysses and Highland Reel) with the two best American horses (Beach Patrol and Oscar Performance).

6 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Purse: $2,000,000 Distance: 1 1/16 Miles Age: 2-year-olds Post Time: Sat., Nov 4 th Race 10 6:58 p.m. (EST) #11 Bolt d Oro (9/5) - This is the most likely winner of the Breeders Cup. He's undefeated in his young career, including two wins over this Del Mar course. He looked even better running around two turns in the Grade 1 FrontRunner at Santa Anita. He could be racing's newest star. #5 Free Drop Billy (5/1) - He seems to be the biggest threat to the heavy favorite after a nice win in the Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland for trainer Dale Romans. #6 Good Magic (8/1) - While still a maiden, he's really run two winning races in both career starts. Last time out, he finished second to Firenze Fire in the Grade 1 Champagne at Belmont Park. #2 Solomini (6/1) - This progressing colt for trainer Bob Baffert should love going longer. Most recently, he was second in the FrontRunner, but he was a long ways away from winner Bolt d Oro. #3 Firenze Fire (6/1) - He enters this one off of a big win in the Champagne. He also took home the Grade 3 Sanford earlier in the year at Saratoga, where he defeated Free Drop Billy. #12 Hollywood Star (15/1) - A colt sharing the same connections as Free Drop Billy, he should run better as the races get longer. He finished second in his last start, the Grade 3 Iroquois at Churchill Downs. #1 U S Navy Flag (8/1) - He was expected to go to the Juvenile Turf, but instead, his connections elected for this spot. He is extremely classy on the turf and would have been the favorite for that race. How he'll handle the dirt is a mystery. #4 Givemeaminit (20/1) - He's still a maiden, but don't let that fool you. He's been close against several top-class horses, including Free Drop Billy and Sporting Chance. #7 The Tabulator (20/1) - He won the Iroquois over a field that may not have been that strong, but the race was contested at this same distance, which is a good thing. Others: #8 Bahamian (30/1) is still a maiden, but he was decent at Del Mar over the summer, finishing second in a maiden special weight. #10 Golden Dragon (30/1) will be trying dirt for the turf time after all turf races to start his career. #9 Hazit (20/1) disappointed in the Champagne Stakes last time out. Early Speed: The Tabulator, U S Navy Flag, Hazit Stalkers: Bolt d Oro, Firenze Fire, Good Magic, Solomini, Givemeaminit, Bahamian Closers: Free Drop Billy, Hollywood Star, Golden Dragon Field Size: 12 It s rare that a Juvenile Breeders Cup race sets up to not have a lot of pace, but this one looks like it won t be very lively early on. The Tabulator could be out on his own up front, but he may not be able to stay there for the whole trip. There should be a host of horses vying for a stalking position, so that may be where the real battle takes place. Closers Free Drop Billy and Hollywood Star have looked good at Del Mar since arriving, but they may fall victim of the race setup. Everyone & their mother will single Bolt d'oro in Pick 4s & 6s. Playing up to 90% of your multi-race budget through Bolt d'oro is the smart play, but if he somehow gets upset, the payoffs will be astronomical & you'll want to be a part of that action. On paper, Free Drop Billy looks like the main backup play and has worked lights-out, getting to California early for trainer Dale Romans. Firenze Fire is a secondary backup off of his Champagne win and had a big workout at Belmont prepping for the Juvenile. A crazy idea that can pay major dividends is to play small backup tickets with U S Navy Flag (first time dirt) and Good Magic (son of Curlin stretching out to two turns for the first time). Their unknown upside may be the only thing that can take down Bolt d'oro. Still, for any of them to have a chance, Bolt will need to bounce off of his huge FrontRunner win and not run his best race. The Play: Slim suggests playing a small ticket to try beating Bolt d Oro which isn t a bad idea, but the fact of matter is he towers over this group. Single him on top of most of your exacta and trifecta wagers, then try to catch prices underneath. Hollywood Star and Good Magic are solidly-priced horse with a shot to hit the board.

7 Breeders' Cup Mile Purse: $2,000,000 Distance: 1 Mile Age: 3-year-olds & up Post Time: Sat., Nov. 4 th Race 9 6:19 p.m. (EST) #5 World Approval (9/2) - He's turned into a different horse since cutting back to a mile. After blasting rivals in the Grade 1 Fourstardave at Saratoga, he did it again in the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile. He looks like the best American miler by a good margin. #6 Zelzal (20/1) - There's no doubt that his recent resume leaves a little to be desired, but he may love the turf surface at Del Mar. He runs strong on a firm turf course, which is what he'll get in this race. He's a lively longshot with a muddled form that will deceive a few people. #4 Lancaster Bomber (20/1) - This European runner trained by Aidan O Brien has enjoyed shipping over to North America. In fact, he runs better here than he does overseas. He finished second in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf last year and, more recently, the Woodbine Mile. #10 Ribchester (7/2) - He'll be making his first American start after three Group 1 wins this year in Europe. He had several options in front of him but ended up coming here, which could be bad news for the competition. He'll be tough if he can handle the American style of racing. #8 Suedois (6/1) - He shipped to the United States to run a prep for this race and ended up winning the Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland. He has an advantage over the Euro shippers that are making their first starts here. #7 Om (20/1) - He has three solid on-the-board finishes this year but hasn't won since late However, he finished second in last year's Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Santa Anita and runs well at Del Mar, where he holds a career record. #1 Midnight Storm (15/1) - Adding solid pace to the race after opting for this spot over the Dirt Mile, he's a better turf performer and has run well in this race in the past. #2 Heart to Heart (6/1) - He nearly went-wire-to wire in the Shadwell Turf Mile in his last start before Suedois caught him late. He's running better than ever and will be a major pace presence here. #11 Ballagh Rocks (12/1) - Solid at a mile distance with back-to-back third-place efforts in Grade 1s, he needs a hot pace up front. #13 Blackjackcat (15/1) - On a four-race win streak, including two over this track, his biggest came two back in the Grade 2 Del Mar Mile. #9 Home of the Brave (20/1) - He shipped to the United States last year and finished eleventh in the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint. He's hit the board in all four overseas starts this year. Others: #12 Roly Poly (6/1) invades from Europe but didn t have much luck here last year. #14 Karar (15/1) finished a solid third in a Group 1 race at Chantilly in his last start. #3 Mr. Roary (30/1) has been hit and miss all season long. Early Speed: Karar, Ribchester, Heart to Heart, Roly Poly, Midnight Storm Stalkers: Blackjack Cat, Home of The Brave, Om, World Approval, Zelzal, Mr. Roary Closers: Ballagh Rocks, Lancaster Bomber, Suédois, Field Size: 14 Heart to Heart will go right to the front, and if Ribchester and Karar hold to their European forms, then they will be up there with him. That should set up kindly for the closers and stalkers in this race that all seem to be fairly strong players. America s best hope to win, World Approval, should receive a nice stalking trip. Ribchester may be the best turf miler in the world, but the BC was more of an afterthought as his last career race than it was a target, since they already announced his stud fee for next year. He has to be used but isn't a single in a wide-open field. The top American to key to start the late Pick 4 is World Approval, but Heart to Heart needs to be on backup tickets based on the scenario that he wires the field. You can almost draw a line through Lancaster Bomber's European races, since he doesn't love soft going and has been a pacesetter in races for stablemate Churchill. He's a sneaky play here, along with Zelzal, who also wants it firm. Spread with these five and hope for a price! The Play: I agree with four out of Slim s five horses, with the lone exception being Heart to Heart. Box the other four in exotics.

8 Breeders' Cup Sprint Purse: $1,500,000 Distance: 6 Furlongs Age: 3-year-olds & up Post Time: Sat., Nov. 4 th Race 8 5:37 p.m. (EST) #2 Drefong (5/2) - The defending champion of this race will be looking for back-to-back wins. Much like last year, he comes into the event off of a Grade 1 victory at Saratoga. Last year, it was the King s Bishop, and this year, it's the Forego. He seems like a logical favorite. #10 Imperial Hint (9/2) - He's been running in smaller races but is ready to take on top-flight competition here. He s won five straight races, including a pair of Grade 3 events. This super-talented horse is sitting on "Go" leading up to the biggest race of his life, and even rival trainer Bob Baffert has said that he's impressed. #8 Roy H (7/2) - He won the Grade 1 Santa Anita Sprint Championship impressively in his last start and might have won the Grade 1 Bing Crosby here in July, if not for a rider-less Drefong affecting him at the top of the stretch. This Peter Miller-trained gelding is rapidly improving. #6 Mind Your Biscuits (6/1) - Widely regarded as the top sprinter in the world after breathtaking wins in the Golden Shaheen at Dubai and the Grade 2 Belmont Sprint Championship, he was a no-show in the Forego. He's coming in under the radar, which could be a good thing. #9 Ransom the Moon (12/1) - He won the Bing Crosby over this track two races back but was no match for Roy H in his last start. Having a win over this surface does help his chances, though. #7 Takaful (5/1) - This horse does no wrong when sprinting. He showed great talent last out to win the Grade 1 Vosburgh at Belmont Park. #1 Calculator (20/1) - Trainer Peter Miller takes a shot here with a solid horse, but he hasn't won on the dirt since early Recently, he was second in the Grade 3 Pat O Brien, which was run at Del Mar. #5 Whitmore (15/1) - Early in the year, he looked to be one of the top sprinters in the country, but he lost his form a bit during the middle part of the season. However, he found the winner's circle again last time out in the Grade 2 Phoenix at Keeneland. Others: #3 American Pastime (12/1) is progressing nicely, finishing second in the Grade 3 Gallant Bob at Parx in his last start. #4 B Squared (30/1) was a surprise late entry into the race. Early Speed: Drefong, Imperial Hint, Takaful Stalkers: Roy H, Whitmore, Calculator, B Squared Closers: American Pastime, Mind Your Biscuits, Ransom the Moon Field Size: 10 As usual, this race looks like it's setting up to have a TON of early speed. Heavy hitters Drefong, Imperial Hint, and Takaful are very fast. The horses that have the ability to sit off the pace will have an advantage here on paper, though Drefong has shown a few times that he can be the speed of the speed. If the pace does melt down, Mind Your Biscuits could be the one to pick up the pieces. This race has a possible single, Drefong, who's been looking good in recent workouts. He won this race in 2016 off of a similar layoff from a strong Saratoga Grade 1 win. He'll get early pressure from Imperial Hint and Takaful but has been known to dismiss fast horses like these in the past and keep going. Still, Imperial Hint is a backup play, along with Roy H, who's almost undefeated this year. Play against Takaful due to his pre-race unpredictability. Mind Your Biscuits will be moving late and has looked better in the morning than he did at Saratoga, where he was never comfortable training or racing this summer. He's an underneath play in exotics; the short stretch at Del Mar limits his win chances. American Pastime is a sneaky horse to use underneath in exotics. Ransom the Moon can bounce back here as a backup play at a price. The Play: It was tough to pick a winner here between Imperial Hint and Drefong. Key both horses in the top spot with Roy H, Mind Your Biscuits, and Takaful underneath.

9 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf Purse: $2,000,000 Distance: 1 1/8 Miles Age: Fillies & Mares, 3-year-olds & up Post Time: Sat., Nov. 4 th Race 7 5:00 p.m. (EST) #9 Lady Eli (5/2) - If she can pull of the win, then she'll be the feel-good story of the Breeders Cup. She finished second in this race a year ago, losing by just a nose. She's been fantastic this year, with three big wins in a row heading into this race. #7 Dacita (8/1) - She's been a consistent horse for several years now, winning the Grade 1 Beverly D at Arlington Park two races back. She finished second in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl at Belmont leading up to this race. #8 Grand Jete (6/1) - She came to the United States to start 2017 and has not disappointed for trainer Chad Brown. She won three races in a row before recent second- and third-place efforts in Grade 1 races. #11 Nezwaah (20/1) - She's struggled recently on soft ground, but when she gets a firm turf course, she can be tough to handle. She won the Group 1 Pretty Polly three races back over a good turf course at Curragh. #14 Rhododendron (8/1) - Making her first start in the United States, she has the training of Aidan O Brien on her side. Recently, she finished first in the Group 1 Prix de l Opera Longines at Chantilly. #10 Queen s Trust (12/1) - She ruined the party last year, winning the Filly and Mare Turf by a nose over fan favorite Lady Eli. Her return to Europe in 2017 season wasn't able to match what she did in the United Stakes, as she had just one on-the-board finish in five tries since last year. #1 War Flag (12/1) - Her first year in the United States has been successful, having hit the board in all four of her starts. Last time out, she was victorious in the Flower Bowl. #4 Zipessa (20/1) - Struggled for most of the year before pulling off an upset last time out in the Grade 1 First Lady. Others: #3 Birdie Gold (30/1) will be making her first start in this country after winning a Win and You re In race in Peru to qualify. #6 Cambodia (8/1) has won two straight Grade 2 races. #12 Avenge (8/1) is an up-and-down horse that's sometimes hard to read and was at her best recently when winning the Grade 1 Rodeo Drive at Santa Anita. #2 Senga (20/1) and #5 Wuheida (20/1) will run in the United States for the first time after having mild success overseas. #13 Goodyearforroses (12/1) has always been a solid California performer. ALSO ELIGIBLE: #15 Kitten s Roar (20/1) and #16 Responsibleforlove (20/1). Early Speed: Avenge, Zipessa, Wuheida Stalkers: Birdie Gold, Cambodia, Lady Eli, Rhododendron, Goodyearforroses Closers: Dacita, Grand Jete, Nezwaah, Queen's Trust, War Flag, Senga Field Size: 16 Avenge and Zipessa will do their best to set a decent pace along with European shipper Wuheida. Last year, Avenge got out to a nice early lead and nearly hung on, finishing third while only losing by a length. The pace won t be overly aggressive here, so the stalkers will be at an advantage over the deep closers. All eyes will be on Lady Eli, who should get a perfect stalking trip. Lady Eli may be one of the strongest singles on the day and you can rely on her as the third leg of the early pick 4. This is her last race in a storybook career, so Brown will unload her full tank. Her stablemate with upside, Grand Jete, is the top backup play after uncharacteristically setting the pace in the Flower Bowl & catching traffic in the Beverly D. in her last two races. Rhododendra is the key European to use as a backup based on her strong Prix de l Opera win last out, but that was over soft sod. A small backup ticket with Dacita and Nezwaah can be played if you want extra coverage and your budget allows. Dacita hung in the Flower Bowl and hasn t worked very well for this race. The Play: It will be Lady Eli s final race of a storybook career, and hopefully, it has a storybook ending. She's training fantastic heading into the race and is a solid play on top. Grand Jete and Dacita are two of her stablemates that will play a role underneath, as well as European invaders Rhododendra and Nezwaah.

10 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Purse: $1,000,000 Distance: 7 Furlongs Age: Fillies & Mares, 3-year-olds & up Post Time: Sat., Nov. 4 th Race 6 4:14 p.m. (EST) #11 Unique Bella (9/5) - This superstar filly would have been a heavy favorite to win the Kentucky Oaks if not for an injury. She returned off of a long layoff to win the Grade 3 L.A. Woman Stakes at Santa Anita. This is a challenge off of just one race in several months, but the talent is there. #10 Highway Star (15/1) - She only has one loss when going this specialty distance of 7 furlongs, and even that was a strong secondplace effort, losing by a head in the Grade 1 Ballerina at Saratoga. She enters here off of a win last time out in the Grade 2 Gallant Bloom at Belmont Park. #2 Paulassilverlining (8/1) - She won three races in a row to kick off 2017, including two Grade 1 scores and a Grade 2. Recently, she was fifth in the Ballerina, but she was given some time off afterwards, so she should be refreshed and ready to fire here. #12 Skye Diamonds (5/1) - She seems to love Del Mar, having she easily won the Grade 3 Rancho Bernardo Handicap over this track. She's won five of six starts this year, but this is going to be a big step up in class for her. #7 By the Moon (12/1) - She won the Ballerina in her last start to go with two Grade 3 wins this year. She seems to like going 7 furlongs, which will be important in this spot. #9 Finley sluckycharm (6/1) - A winner in four of five starts this year, including last time out in the Grade 2 TCA at Keeneland, her only loss was a solid second-place showing behind Paulassilverlining in the Grade 2 Honorable Miss Handicap at Saratoga. #4 Finest City (12/1) - An upset winner of this race a year ago, she started off 2017 in fine form but hasn t been quite as strong lately. She'll likely be a decent price once again. Others: #1 Carina Mia (12/1) has always had a lot of hype surrounding her but has never quite lived up to it. #14 Ami s Mesa (20/1) will come into this race off of four straight victories, but none of those wins were over a dirt surface. #3 Curlin s Approval (20/1) needs to prove that she can run well somewhere other than at Gulfstream Park. #5 Bar of Gold (30/1) was sixth in the Grade 1 Spinster last out. #8 Constellation (15/1) has run two solid seconds behind Skye Diamonds in her most recent starts. #13 Princess Karen (20/1) finished a far-off second in the L.A. Woman. #6 Proper Discretion (30/1) looks outclassed here. Early Speed: Constellation, Finley sluckycharm, Paulassilverlining, Unique Bella, Princess Karen Stalkers: By the Moon, Curlin s Approval, Finest City, Skye Diamonds, Proper Discretion, Bar of Gold Closers: Carina Mia, Highway Star, Ami s Mesa, Field Size: 14 It's setting up to be quite the duel up top in this one. A total of five horses could want the lead here, including the heavy favorite, Unique Bella. She will end up being the key to the whole race. At times, she's been unwilling to settle in behind horses, and if that happens here, she could be in trouble. With so much serious speed, it'll be quite the chore to take this field wire-to-wire, but there's no doubt that she's ultratalented. If the pace falls apart, expect Highway Star to come running late. Unique Bella will be a single for some, but a 3-year old filly has yet to win this race in the 10 years of its existence. She will need to buck that trend and stay settled in the gate to win this one. On talent, she s a strong prime play, but Paulassilverlining brings a lot more experience and can be played almost equally. The Ballerina had a turtle-slow pace and Paulassilverlining never put in her run, plus she was coming off of a war to win the Honorable Miss over Finley sluckycharm. Paulassilverlining has also worked tremendously for this race. Rely on Unique Bella and Paulassilverlining here, but don t forget about Carina Mia. She had a quarter crack before her second in the Gallant Bloom, and would you be surprised if her back class suddenly shows up on this big stage? The Play: For many, Unique Bella is a single, but the words of Saratoga Slim must make you think a bit on it. Putting her on top is still the smart thing to do, as she does have a world of talent, but as far as exotic bets, this might be a race where it's smart to box. If Unique Bella is out of the top two or three, the payouts will be great. Box her with Paulassilverlining, Highway Star, and Sky Diamonds.

11 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint Purse: $1,000,000 Distance: 5 Furlongs Age: 3-year-olds & up Post Time: Sat., Nov. 4 th Race 5 3:37 p.m. (EST) #1 Disco Partner (9/2) - The world record-holder at 6 furlongs on turf, he's undefeated when sprinting this year. He'll look to sit a perfect trip, as this field has a ton of speed. He should sit off the pace and make one giant run in the end. #3 Lady Aurelia (5/2) - Even though she's based in the United States, this star filly has done most of her damage overseas. She's won at Royal Ascot two years in a row, including this year's Group 1 King s Stand. Last time out, she lost by a dirty nose in the Group 1 Nunthorpe. #6 Marsha (7/2) - This fantastic overseas female sprinter will be making her first start in America. She's the horse who defeated Lady Aurelia in the Nunthorpe and should have a big shot if she enjoys our style of racing. #12 Pure Sensation (10/1) - He always shows up for these big turf sprint events and has won a pair of Grade 3 races this year. He finished fourth behind Disco Partner's world record-breaking performance at Belmont Park. #10 Hogy (12/1) - After being claimed for $50,000 three races back, this 8-year-old has won a Grade 3 and finished second in a Grade 2. He seems to be doing as well as ever heading into this one. #5 Washington DC (20/1) - After shipping over and finishing seventh in this event last year, he'll try again after an up-and-down year. #2 Holding Gold (15/1) - He has just one win this year, coming in the Grade 2 Shakertown at Keeneland. However, he has finished second and third behind top flight competition. #9 Mongolian Saturday (20/1) - The upset winner of this race back in 2015 has trailed off a bit lately and will need to step up his game. #8 Cotai Glory (20/1) - After a long career overseas, he shipped to Woodbine to give the Grade 2 Nearctic a try. He was second in that race, but it was over a soft turf course, so it's still unclear how he'll take to a firm turf surface like Del Mar's. Others: #11 Bucchero (12/1) was an upset winner of the Grade 2 Woodford last time out at Keeneland. #7 Richard s Boy (10/1) won a 5-furlong event at Pimlico earlier in the year. #4 Stormy Liberal (12/1) had won four in a row before losing badly to Disco Partner in the Grade 3 Jaipur. ALSO ELIGIBLE: #13 Guns Loaded (20/1) and #14 Paquita Coqueta (20/1). Early Speed: Bucchero, Lady Aurelia, Stormy Liberal, Richard s Boy Stalkers: Marsha, Pure Sensation Closers: Disco Partner, Hogy, Holding Gold, Mongolian Saturday, White Flag, Washington DC Field Size: 14 Anytime you see a 5-furlong dash, just assume that they'll be flying up front. Several speedsters are signed on for this one, including the big favorite, Lady Aurelia. It's important to note that, during the summer, the Del Mar turf course played heavily to favorites when running this distance. That could set up perfectly for a host of horses, including Disco Partner. The two Christophe Clement trainees look tough here. Pure Sensation may be the speed of the speed, having a chance to take them gateto-wire, while Disco Partner will be flying late, even at this 5-furlong trip. They both need to be used prominently on tickets with the favorite, Lady Aurelia. The globe-trotting Wesley Ward filly is proven around one-turn, firm-footing U.S. races, with two wins at Keeneland on her ledger. Her arch nemesis, Marsha, will need to prove that she likes it firm and can adapt to U.S. racing around a turn, but she still needs to be used defensively to start this early Pick 4. The Play: While not a huge fan of the rail draw for Disco Partner, I still believe that there could be a pace meltdown here. He's the best closer in the group, and this turf played to closers in the summer. Box him with the two international stars, as they both look very tough. Look out for the other Clement horse, Pure Sensation, to hit the board at a price.

12 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Purse: $2,000,000 Distance: 1 1/16 Miles Age: Fillies, 2-year-olds Post Time: Sat., Nov. 4 th Race 4 3:00 p.m. (EST) #7 Moonshine Memories (7/2) - She's taken the same path with the same success to the Breeders Cup as Bolt d Oro, though she hasn t looked quite as impressive. However, she's still a perfect three-for-three, with two wins here. Her two-turn race was the best of her career. #13 Separationofpowers (4/1) - She kicked off her career with a breathtaking maiden score at Saratoga. She disappointed in the Grade 1 Spinaway but rebounded to take the Grade 1 Frizette at Belmont Park in her last race. She's the logical upset candidate to the likely favorite. #8 Piedi Bianchi (15/1) - After breaking her maiden at Del Mar, she finished a very close second in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante behind Moonshine Memories. Recently, she was third in the Grade 1 Chandelier at Santa Anita, also behind Moonshine Memories. #9 Alluring Star (6/1) - She has a win over the track, as she broke her maiden at Del Mar on debut. She followed that race with a nice second-place effort to Moonshine Memories in the Chandelier and might improve with this being her third career start. #1 Heavenly Love (9/2) - She burst onto the scene with a runaway win in the Grade 1 Darley Alcibiades at Keeneland. Two turns over dirt looks to be her preference. #12 Caledonia Road (15/1) - This improving filly only has two lifetime starts, but she looked good in each one. After breaking her maiden at Saratoga, she was second in the Frizette to Separationofpowers. #10 Maya Malibu (20/1) - She earned her way here with a couple of on-the-board finishes in the Spinaway and Frizette. Look for her to drop back and make one run at the end. #4 Gio Game (15/1) - An interesting prospect here who broke her maiden by 9 lengths at Keeneland last time out, this daughter of Gio Ponti tried turf first, which was understandable, but she seems to enjoy the dirt surface best. #3 Princess Warrior (12/1) - After winning nicely on debut in a maiden special weight at Churchill Downs, she finished second in the Grade 1 Darley Alcibiades. Others: #11 Wonder Gadot (8/1) has been a sensation at Woodbine but switches to dirt for the first time here. #5 Blonde Bomber (20/1) will be stepping up in class after two straight wins at Gulfstream Park. #6 Stainless (20/1) tried turf last time but will switch back to dirt here. #2 Tell Your Mama (30/1) is still a maiden and must step up big. Early Speed: Alluring Star, Blonde Bomber, Gio Game, Wonder Gadot Stalkers: Heavenly Love, Moonshine Memories, Separationofpowers, Tell Your Mama Closers: Piedi Bianchi, Princess Warrior, Caledonia Road, Maya Malibu, Stainless Field Size: 13 Unlike its male counterpart, this juvenile race has a pretty good pace duel brewing up front. With younger horses, that's always a scary scenario. Strong finishers such as Piedi Bianchi, Princess Warrior, and Maya Malibu will look to benefit from the speed duel, while the likely favorite Moonshine Memories must avoid getting involved too early. The setup here definitely looks like it could produce an upset. Tread lightly to start the Saturday BC program, as this looks like a race that will have an unpredictable outcome. Moonshine Memories has experience winning at Del Mar that gives her the upper hand, but Separationofpowers can move up stretching out to two turns for the first time. Heavenly Love looked like a killer winning the Alcibiades, so these will be the top three choices. Alluring Star makes her third career start for Baffert and could also have a forward move in her. With a hot pace expected, keying Maya Malibu for top trainer Graham Motion to hit the exacta and trifecta with the four mentioned above may be the play in a wide-open race. Maya Malibu will be moving late. The Play: As Slim suggested, tread lightly here. If Moonshine Memories is upset in this spot, one of MANY could do it. Don t spend too much of your bankroll here.

13 Breeders' Cup Distaff Purse: $2,000,000 Distance: 1 1/8 Miles Age: Fillies & Mares, 3-year-olds & up Post Time: Fri., Nov. 3 rd Race 9 7:35 p.m. (EST) #2 Stellar Wind (5/2) - A perfect three-for-three in 2017, all in Grade 1s, her main competition all year long has been Vale Dori, who isn't entered in this race. She'll look for redemption in her final career start, as a Breeders Cup win is the only thing missing on her resume. #5 Elate (3/1) - After struggling earlier in the year to live up to the hype created by her maiden-breaking score as a 2-year-old, she rounded into form over the summer at Saratoga and comes into this one off of Grade 1 scores in the Alabama and the Beldame. This is a dangerous up-and-coming filly with a great trainer in Bill Mott. #6 Forever Unbridled (4/1) - She's lightly-raced this year but has been great in both of her starts. Most recently, she defeated Songbird in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign at Saratoga. She'll drop towards the back of the pack and make one run. #4 Abel Tasman (4/1) - She's had an awesome 3-year-old season, including Grade 1 scores in the Kentucky Oaks, the Acorn, and the Coaching Club American Oaks. She lost her last start, the Grade 1 Cotillion, but has been working well leading up to this race. #7 Paradise Woods (9/2) - She entered the Kentucky Oaks as the favorite, but things did not go well. After a long layoff, she's finally back in form and will be a dangerous presence on the front end. #8 Romantic Vision (15/1) - She's won two races in a row, including the Grade 1 Spinster at Keeneland in her last start. #1 Champagne Room (15/1) - Last year's Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies winner easily won her prep race, the Remington Park Oaks, and has a career record at Del Mar. #3 Mopotism (30/1) - She has just one win this year, which came in a listed stakes at Sunland Park. She looks to be the only overmatched horse in the field. Early Speed: Champagne Room, Paradise Woods Stalkers: Abel Tasman, Elate, Stellar Wind Closers: Forever Unbridled, Mopotism, Romantic Vision Field Size: 8 The real key to the pace here will be Paradise Woods and what she decides to do. If you look at her prior races, she seems to be pretty onedimensional, so expect her to go straight to the front. In the Kentucky Oaks, she caused a speed meltdown, and if Champagne Room or another horse decides to go with her, then it could happen again. On the other hand, if she's left alone, she could wire the field. She presents a major problem here. The best guess is that someone will go with her, making the pace hot and setting up for a stalker or closer. The most hyped horse out of all BC entries is Elate. At this rate, it's possible that the 3-year old filly may be the post-time favorite. She's a key filly to target in all wagers and has looked excellent working at Del Mar. Stellar Wind has never been a good work horse and nothing she's done in the mornings instills confidence that she's ready to roll off of a 96-day layoff. Still, she loves Del Mar, and trainer John Sadler will have the champ fully loaded for her last career race, so she must be used. With Forever Unbridled coming off of a two-month layoff, she'll also have to fire fresh. Trainer Dallas Stewart has pointed Forever Unbridled to this race since her 3rd last year in the Distaff, and she's looked great since returning from the surgery that she had over the winter. Try using only these three in the last leg of the Friday BC Pick 4. Abel Tasman will need to be on backup tickets if there's a pace meltdown and Paradise Woods also needs to be played very lightly based on the scenario that she wires the field, but Champagne Room should press her enough early. The Play: Even though it's only a field of eight, this is going to be a tremendous race. From a betting standpoint, it comes down to Stellar Wind vs. the solid 3-year-olds, with Forever Unbridled playing the roll as the crucial underneath horse. Keying her in the second and third spots while playing a few horses around her is probably the smartest play here when it comes to the trifecta.
