Question

Who is your pick (s) in the Breeders Cup Juvenile (colts)?

Answer 1

have you seen the morning line on this race??!  OMG!  Value everywhere!  I picked up a hefty $194.90 betting my beat the handicapper $50 on the Lanes End Futurity and I intend to do it again!

Slew's Tiznow, Kodiak Kowboy, Old Man Buck, Wicked Style

I'd include Tale of Ekati except that I think he blew all his energy on running his final work over 4 furlongs in 45 seconds!  ZOOM!

Answer 2

War Pass or Wicked Style! Also Kodiak Kowboy!

Answer 3

Tale of Ekati and Wicked Style

Answer 4

Wicked Style

Answer 5

With the strangely ineffective performance in the one-mile Champagne Stakes (G1) at Belmont by the Billy Mott-trained Majestic Warrior, the logical betting favorite would appear to be Nick Zito's War Pass, who dominated the Champagne from flag fall to finish.

Pending crucial post position assignments, War Pass may be the controlling speed, or he may have to deal with early pressure from Wicked Style. The latter set all the fractions while winning the 1 1/16-mile Breeders' Futurity (G2) on the Keeneland Polytrack, a difficult thing to do. Another possible pace factor is J Be K, a fast maiden winner at Saratoga trained by Bob Baffert.

d**k Mandella's Dixie Chatter and Eric Guillot's consistent Salute the Sarge have exhibited some stretch punch and continue to move forward after finishing one-two in the 1 1/16-mile Norfolk (G1) at Santa Anita on September 30th.

Pyro was also gaining some momentum at the end of the Champagne and Majestic Warrior certainly could rebound from his dull effort to recover the solid late kick he used to win the 7-furlong Hopeful (G1) at Saratoga.

In addition, Tale of Ekati, Kodiak Kowboy, Old Man Buck and Z Humor are among several longshot possibilities with above average stakes credentials. All this adds up to a complex, contentious race for improving young horses that will have little margin for error in the hectic final furlongs.
