Ok…here’s the first installment of my Breeders’ Cup selections. You will notice a trend. In many cases, I have shown preference for European horses. The trainers overseas have figured out how to win these races. It’s a huge feather in their caps to come over and steal the money from the North American horses. They know what they’re doing and they know how to get a horse ready to win on the Pro Ride. These picks are for the six races on Friday. I will post the Saturday picks tomorrow. My advise is to empty your bank account, drain your credit cards, re- mortgage your house, cash the RSPs and bet everything you have on the following:

Breeders’ Cup Picks:

  Friday The Marathon: 

I love the two European imports:

1) Mastery – He’s had just eight races and has improved with each one…won his last race at a 1 3/8ths

2) Father Time – Also lightly raced ( only 7 starts), beat a field of 15 in his only race on synthetic dirt

3) Cloudy’s Knight – the 2007 Canadian International shocker will be running for the 39^th time

 Juvenile Fillies Turf: 

1)      Junia Tepzia – only two races in her life, but she won each and her Racing Post Rating puts the Beyers of everyone in this race to shame

2)      Lillie Langtry – a two year-old with almost a $million earned.

3)      Tapitsfly – Only race on the turf was impressive

 Juvenile Fillies Dirt: 

1)      Sara Louise – ready to break through here

2)      Seventh Street – two grade 1 wins already

3)      Ventura – apparently, she can win on any surface

 Filly and Mare Turf: 

1)      Forever Together – the defending champion

2)      Midday  – shortly after noon, she should run well

3)      Magical Fantasy – four race win streak will be snapped

 Filly and Mare Sprint: 

1)      Informed Decision – has won 7 of her last 8 races

2)      Seventh Street – she’s getting better each time out

3)      Ventura – great horse, this is probably the toughest field she’s ever faced

 Ladies Classic:  

1)      Careless Jewel – did you see her in the Alabama? ‘Nuff said!

2)      Life is Sweet  – at least she doesn’t have to run against stablemate Zenyatta

3)      Music Note – May not love the Pro Ride
