2 Street Sense -3-1

3 Any Given Saturday - 4-1

4 Curlin - 3-1

5 George Washington (IRE)- 20-1

6 Awesome Gem - 30-1

7 Diamond Stripes -15-1

8 Hard Spun-8-1

9 Tiago -12-1

Answer 1

Hard Spun could wire the field but I like Curlin.

Answer 2

I'm hoping for Curlin and think he'll win.  But, I'm betting on Tiago because he's improved a lot and 12-1 odds are better than 3-1 for money making.

Answer 3

Street Sense

Answer 4

Street Sense, Curlin or Tiago!

Answer 5

What a race! All of the top horses will be here to decide the 2007 American Horse of the Year title and the 3-year-old championship at a difficult distance that challenges both speed and stamina, not just one attribute over the other.

High-powered 4-year-old Lawyer Ron, a multiple Grade 1 winner this year, is in the field as are all four ultra high-class 3-year-olds who dominated the spring and summer classics: Kentucky Derby - Travers winner Street Sense; Preakness - Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Curlin; Haskell Invitational winner (at Monmouth) Any Given Saturday; and Hard Spun, second in the Derby and third in the Preakness, who also won a pair of Grade 1 stakes with his terrific early speed.

At their respective best, they are so close together that it is difficult to imagine a convincing betting favorite at odds under 3-1. Moreover, the eventual favorite will have a large group of serious horses bidding for the winning purse.

Hard Spun could certainly use an inside post and a comfortable trip to the backstretch without being forced into suicidal early fractions. But even if he gets away from the pack early, any of the leading contenders may be able to run him down while they simultaneously battle in close quarters with narrow margins for error.

Beyond the 'big five' cited above, there also is stretch running Tiago, winner of the Santa Anita Derby (G1) in April and the Pacific Classic (G1) at Del Mar in August. Another possible threat is George Washington, the highly rated European-based turf horse who is expected to switch to this race instead of the Breeders' Cup Mile.

Answer 6

I don't want to sound like a smart @ $ $, but it will be the horse that runs the best that day.

Answer 7

Lawyer Ron or Curlin are the strongest horses.... but it's the Breeders' Cup, and stranger things have happened than a crazy longshot victory........
