Breeders Cup Post Positions, Preview and Tips
Robert K - October 25th, 2008 .Robert returns with his expert analysis of the Breeders Cup Post Positions. He also releases his 2008 Breeders Cup tips and reveals another two top selections for the two day championship at Santa Anita.
Despite Big Browns absence 2008 Breeders Cup Championship is one of the most fascinating in the its 25 year history. What makes things particularly interesting this year is the introduction of the synthetic surface. On top of that we have a invasion of runners from across the globe.
All eyes will be on Curlin at the BCC. He is the deserving but for me the value lies else where. There is no doubt that American handicappers are underestimating the impact of the new surface. (Further analysis continued below.)
It’s a been great handicapping weekend for us, with that let hope its continues with our Breeders Cup Tips.
Note: If you’re still looking for a place to bet the Breeders Cup this weekend we recommend going with Betus racebook.
Expert Breeders Cup Preview and Analysis Across the Web
With the first day already upon us we decided to post a comprehensive lists of expert Breeders Cup selections and analysis from across the web. These are handicappers who’s opinions we value highly even if they may be different to ours. Please note: for those who missed our detailed Breeders Cup Preview, make sure to read Jarrod’s picks and betting guide also.
This is an exclusive for betwwx blog readers and subscribers. A anonymous source has sent us two rock solid selections for Ladies Day at the 2008 Breeders Cup.
This is from of one number of horse racing sources who’s typically done very well in this event in years past.
Race #3 #12 Ventura There is enough speed in this race for this horse to close. This filly almost beat colts last time out. She shows she can win on the fake dirt. Should also get a good price. (Update: first bet wins)
Race #7 #1 Zenyatta This horse has never lost and never will. I have no betting suggestions. Maybe an Exacta, maybe Pick 3’s, I don’t know. I guess there is a possibility that there will be enough bettors who don’t know how to read a form and will bet on other horses enough to push the price up to 3/5. If so punch her number until it hurts. This horse is so great that not even horse killer Mike Smith has been able to keep this horse from the winner’s circle. (Update: second bet wins)
The third and final selection sent to us from our source is Curlin to win the BCC.
Two more selections by some of racing best handicappers follow below. The first is former former National Handicapping Championship Ron Rippey.
“CURLIN is just too tough to pick against despite his debut on the Pro-Ride track. The Horse-of-the-Year is 11-15 in his career, the top money earner of all time and excels at 1 1/4 miles with a 6-for-7 record. His only loss this year was when he tried the turf, hit the gate and fell far back early. Curlin won the Classic last year by 4 1/2 in the slop at Monmouth and has been an odds-on favorite in all six races this year.”
Our second selected Breeders Cup tip comes from Greg Wood.
“At the prices, Curlin is worth taking on. The problem from a European angle, though, is that Duke Of Marmalade and Henrythenavigator have both had long seasons, while Raven’s Pass may not get home. This all points towards Casino Drive (11.45) as a value bet. The Japanese runner has as much as 12lb to find on ratings, but has just three races behind him and should have plenty of improvement left to come.”
All 14 races will be broadcast live on ESPN, EPSN 2 and ABC in the US. TSN has the Canada rights while ATR and RUK will broadcast the races in the UK.
