No Arcangelo Means Arabian Knight will Be the Chalk

The Belmont and Travers winner was the 5-to-2 morning line favorite. Now that Arcangelo won’t run, favoritism to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic will fall to Pacific Classic winner Arabian Knight.

Bob Baffert has won the Breeders’ Cup Classic four times. Every Baffert Classic winner had the same profile as Arabian Knight, a front runner or presser.

Horseplayers know this. So Arabian Knight will go off the chalk.

Randomized Getting Buzz

Three-year-old Chad Brown trained Randomized is generating a lot of buzz. The Grade 1 Alabama and Grade 2 Beldame winner has the ability to rate right off favorite Idiomatic before running past the Breeders’ Cup Distaff chalk in the stretch.

Also, outside of Idiomatic and Randomized, there doesn’t appear to be a ton of speed in the race. The Brown winner has led gate to wire in a 1 1/8 miles race, the Beldame, and a 1 ¼ miles race, the Alabama. So horseplayer enthusiasm appears warranted.  

Oddsmakers Declare Tamara and Good Night Olive the Likeliest Favorites to Score a BC Victory

Tamara is at 4-to-5 on the morning line to win the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. Good Night Olive is at 6-to-5 to win the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint.

Based on past performances, both Tamara and Good Night Olive should be the favorites in their respective races. But both will also face stiff competition and could bounce after terrific performances in their last.

The biggest threat to Tamara is +300 morning line and Todd Pletcher trained Candied. The Grade 1 Alcibiades winner keeps Luis Saez and won the Alcibiades around two turns and at 1 1/16 miles. Tamara has never even raced around two turns.

Good Night Olive faces a true challenger in Society. The Steve Asmussen trainee has won her last 2 races by 10 ½ lengths and 5 ½. Society also offers an overlay +400 morning line.

Breeders’ Cup Buzz Longshots Includes | Casa Creed in the Mile, Nakatomi in the Sprint, and Dreamlike in the Classic

Casa Creed is at a +800 morning line to win the Breeders’ Cup Mile. The Bill Mott trained runner heads to Santa Anita after 2 straight graded wins at Saratoga in August. For sure, Creed can get it done.

Nakatomi is at 20-to-1 odds to win the BC Sprint. The second place finisher in the Grade 3 Phoenix behind Hoist the Gold had to go 3 wide and then 6 wide. The presence of Luis Saez makes Nakatomi an overlay at the +2000 odds.

Dreamlike won’t go off at 30-to-1. The Todd Pletcher trained runner closed like a freight train in the 1 1/8 Grade 1 Pennsylvania Derby to lose by just a half length to Saudi Crown. If the Penn Derby was at 1 ¼ miles, Dreamlike may have won by 5 to 10 lengths, the last quarter was so fast. Give Dreamlike a much better shot to win the Classic than the +3000 odds imply.
