Well, once again it’s time for Breeders’ Cup Weekend and of course I am thrilled. I mean why not? Once again we get to see racing’s best go at each other for two days and the cliche’ of “anything can happen” will certainly come to life as these races unfold.
At NickBorg.com we will be covering every race on BC Weekend including the entire Friday and Saturday race cards offering Selections and Analysis as well as some Spot Plays allong with our noted Pick-3 and Pick-4 Outlines.
I have already been doing some homework on these great races and in fact at this point I feel it’s important to get a grip on which horses have been the most visually impressive during their morning works.
Workings: My man at the track tells me that Turallure is going to surprise many. He has been working extremely well and his last two works were done over a wet and very loose turf course where Turallure was just gobbling up the ground as his rider sat motionless. In fact he has been looking this great during his last 3 works. So he figures to fire big on race day.
Royal Delta seems ready to give her best race yet. Bill Mott has her fresh and revved up where she seems to be sitting on a huge effort.
To Honor and Serve has been working very well with Blinkers. He has never worn them prior so it will be ntersting to see if he actually has them on race day. Honor has a tendency to bear out during his stretch runs however with the Blinks added for the works he has stopped bearing out. So improvement has already taken place.
Closing Notes: The BC races are usually so competitive that several horses in each field have the talent and ability to win. Therefore in most instances the horse that wins these races is usually the horse that benefits the most from the trip. Analyzing the way each race will be run is very critical in BC races. I recommend spending more time trying to interpret each races pace scenario and concentrate on how the running of the race will unfold.
Good Luck to All and Enjoy a Great Weekend of Racing!
