Breeders' Cup Breeders’ Cup Predictions #2 September 18, 2014 Breeders' Cup Breeders’ Cup Predictions #2 September 18, 2014 By: Aaron Halterman twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article Changes this week: Filly and Mare Sprint, The Juvenile The Classic – Shared Belief – Everybody has their eyes set on California Chrome this week, but Shared Belief will probably still be my pick regardless of what happens at Parx. Find out more about wagering at Horse Betting Insider. The Mile – Wise Dan – Was triumphant in his return at Saratoga and looks to be on course for this race once again. He’s the most popular horse in America so you know he’ll be over bet, but they’ll have to bring in a monster to beat him. The Distaff – Close Hatches – Will easily have the division lead coming into this race, but obviously beating Beholder on her home track could prove to be challenging. However, I think she’s gotten good enough to overcome her this year. The Turf – The Grey Gatsby – Earned a tremendous win over the weekend which obviously makes me feel even stronger about him. Hoping he makes the trip to Santa Anita more than ever now! The Sprint – Secret Circle – Looks to me like he’s going to try and do what he did last year…come off a long layoff, win a prep, and then win the Breeders Cup Sprint. To me he’s still above all the other competition. The Juvenile – I Spent It – This division is now WIDE open with the injury to Competitive Edge. I basically had him down as a lock, but now there will be a lot of directions to go. Must watch the preps with a keen eye… The Turf Sprint – Reneesgotzip – You have to pick a horse with experience on the down hill turf course in this race, so that’s why I’ve picked Reneesgotzip for now. Finished 3rd in 2012 and 2nd in 2013…no Mizdirection to contend with this year so third time could be a charm. The Filly and Mare Sprint – Midnight Lucky – I changed to her really because it was just a question of talent level with Stonetastic. The health of Midnight Lucky is the only question mark. The Filly and Mare Turf – Dank – If she comes back to defend her title I think she’s a clear standout in this group. Not considering others unless she doesn’t come over. The Juvenile Fillies – Cavorting – Looks to be the most talented of the group so far, but I don’t think there is a big gap between her and the others. The key preps for this race is what we’ll really have to keep an eye on. The Juvenile Fillies Turf – Malabar – I’ve learned my lesson picking American horses in the Juvenile turf races. Don’t know who is coming, but will be landing on a Euro horse for sure. The Dirt Mile – Goldencents – The best by a mile if he chooses this race…but the rumor is he’s going to face Wise Dan on the turf at Keeneland on October fourth. If he runs well there he might try the Turf Mile instead. The Juvenile Turf – Aktabantay – Much like my pick of Malabar, I’m going with a Euro in this race no matter what happens.
