R6 – Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (Turf 8F)

#14 Ticonderoga (15-1) – Has been right there in his 3 starts and if Bejarano can keep him straight down the lane I’m not sure we have seen the best of him. 4TH
#6 Big Score (8-1) – Won local prep and all reports indicate that he is looking fantastic. Best strides late.
#11 Good Samaritan (9-2) – Like the fact that he shipped to Woodbine and won a G2. Stalking Trip. 3RD
#5 Made You Look (12-1) – Loved the way he rated in his G2 victory and there seems to be more in the tank.

R7 – Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile

#3 Dortmund (6-5) – Absolutely towers this field and is projected to get a dream trip. In addition, he loves this surface and this could potentially be his ideal distance. Singleton. 4TH
#9 Gun Runner (9-2) – Looking great and I feel this is his optimum distance, but he’s running for 2nd. 2ND
#5 Accelerate (20-1) – Currently in sharp form and could add some value underneath. 3RD
#1 Vyjack (10-1) – He’s in career form and seems that California has done him well.

R8 – Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Turf 8F)

#4 Spain Burg (5-1) – BEST BET – Recently was purchased for Big Money from the connections that campaigned Mucho Macho Man and she’s been taking a lot of action overseas.
#3 New Money Honey (10-1) – Powered home like a good horse in winning the G3 Miss Grillo for top connections. WON $15.00
#14 La Coronel (9-2) – Passed her Graded Stakes test with flying colors and barn is sizzling at this time.
#6 Coasted (20-1) – Lost as the chalk in most recent on a yielding course and gets back on firm at ridiculous odds. 2ND

R9 – Breeders’ Cup Distaff

#8 Beholder (5-2) – Current queen of Santa Anita will appreciate the outer post as Stevens will have options throughout. WON $8.60
#1 Songbird (6-5) – Undefeated filly will probably go to the front and dare them to keep up with her. 2ND
#5 Stellar Wind (5-2) – She’s in career form and has proven she top class in this division. 4TH
#3 Curalina (12-1) – Seems to always fire and has shipped well in the past. Needs the race of her life.

PK6 – 3 8 / 3 8 10 / 6 11 14 / 3 / 3 4 14 / 8 = $108
