Trotter Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Don't know if this is a general feeling but my interest has waned in the Breeders Cup Nowadays I just tend to flick over for the Turf, Mile and Classic on the Saturday.......and ignore everything else and I don't watch the inter-race waffle either. I can't stand those endless human interest stories. For God's sake I'm not interested in humans ! I might watch one of the other races if there's a European horse that I've heard of running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHills Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Oh well at least it prompted two people into a discussion Its always difficult when you don't know ALL of the runners and you can get frustrated when your 'favourite' gets done by an American rag or something. I just think its great to watch the Europeans take them on when it clearly doesn't suit our runners and to see how the likes of O'Brien approaches it. *Also looking forward to seeing California Chrome, Won 15 races and earned over £8million. Whats not to like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Going to concentrate on the 3 main races 22.22: Breeders Cup Turf 23.40: Breeders Cup Mile 00.35: Breeders Cup Classic __________________________________- Stats and Previous Winners Breeders Cup Turf (1m4f) You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realise this is one race on the card that the Europeans excel in. 7 of the last 10 winners have come our way with Aidan O'Brien winning it 3 times since 2011. (He has had 16 runners though). 8 of the last 10 winners were under 8/1 The last 3 double figure priced winners were all trained in America. 8 of the last 10 winner had previously won a Grade/Group 1 contest.

BillyHills Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Breeders Cup Mile (1m) Stats and Previous Winners Open race with no strong trends on Age or Price. No Irish or English winner in this race since Ridgewood Pearl back in 1995 but the French have kept the European flag flying with 6 winners in the last 14 years. Mares have won the race 5 times since 2003 9 out of the last 10 winners had won a Grade/Group1 previously. (8 that season) 4 favourites have won since 2006 7 of the last 10 winners either won or was in the first 3 last time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Breeders Cup Classic 1m2f Stats and Previous Winners The French won this race back in 1993 and the English with Ravens Pass in 2008. They are the only decent results in this race to date for the Europeans and its very much a 'home' banker. Only one mare has won the race, Zenyatta in 2009. 8 out of the last 10 winners were aged 3 or 4. 6 out of the last 10 winners won last time out. 9 out the last 10 winners were priced 9/1 or lower. The Favourite have only won once since 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHills Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 22.22 Breeders Cup Turf Found will be the popular choice for Aidan O'Brien especially has she won it last year but i just think she has been on the go an awful long time and maybe if she had missed Ascot i would fancy her to follow up. My each way bet has to be Mondialiste from the O'Meara camp. He looks a different horse when he goes abroad and at the prices looks worth a nibble. Mondialiste EW 25/1 Bet365 ___________________________________________ 23.40 Breeders Cup Mile A cracking contest here and to be honest i wouldn't bother looking beyond the front three in the betting. Tepin is the one to beat after winning this last season and hardly putting a foot wrong in this campaign. Got beat last time out but will be spot on to make amends here. The European challenge is led by Limato and Alice Springs, two very different horses with very different strengths. Limato is all about speed and if he can stay the mile he will be very hard to beat while Alice Springs has just kept on improving for the O'Brien team. I'm going to stay loyal with Limato and just hope he can hold on to his finishing kick and last home. Limato 100/30 Skybet __________________________________________ 00.35 Breeders Cup Classic The worthy favourite here is California Chrome and according to the betting he looks to have just one serious danger in Arrogate. The 'Chrome' is unbeaten in 2016 winning all six races including three Grade 1's. Arrogate has nothing special on his CV accept that he won last time out at Saratoga by an incredible 13 lengths. That was his 4th win in 5 starts and is clearly an improving sort and could be a big danger if he has improved further. Frosted looks booked for third on all known form and an each way bet on him will be may peoples way to go rather than try and choose between the top two. Frosted EW 10/1 Betfair ________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy2shoes Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) OK OK OK Said I'd not be taking part but I'am, i have been drawn into this race and have burns creams at the ready, have plenty left over from 2011-2012-2013-2014-2015 But luck must change RIGHT? Will Limato get the trip ? it's open to debate and sure he's a class act but he's not for me, Soz BH but the very best of Luck Sir. Tepin - A massive Danger to my Selection and the horse i fear the most, if she wins then so be it and i got it wrong again and it's yet another trip back to the burns unit with fingers in the air. I really do think the 4/1 on offer for Alice springs is generous, all she's done is improve and i also feel she's never been given a tough time ''even when winning'' i feel connections have timed this race with perfection and they'll have her spot on for this (Grade 1) Breeders cup mile. She has a good draw and Ryan Moore will be over this course on foot more than once along with the O'Brien posse and they will leave NO STONE unturned, The only thing i see in the way of Victory is traffic problems. 23:40 Santa Anita ''Breeders Cup Mile'' - Alice Springs @ 4/1 some firms Edited November 4, 2016 by Jimmy2shoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
