16 Handicappers' Picks for the Breeders' Cup Classic
|
Updated: Nov-06-2009
Created: Nov-06-2009
No consensus emerged in the wide distribution of handicappers’ Breeders’ Cup Classic selections and comments. While Zenyatta is clearly a factor in this race, only two handicappers, Cwayne of Picks and Plays and Mike DeAngelo of A Plus Thorobred selected Zenyatta to win. Some, such as Nico Kunalea of WiredFigs, expressed outright skepticism about the California contender’s chances. “Sorry Zenyatta fans; it ain't happening,” said Kunalea. In a survey of 16 handicappers’ selections, only one, Rip Van Winkle, was selected by more than 2 handicappers, with 3 naming Rip Van Winkle as their top choice to win. “Goldikova was considered 2nd best European last year and we all remember what she did. Rip is considered the 2nd best European this year, and I expect him to lead the parade home,” remarked Jeffery Cobb, Case the Race’s guest commentator for Calder Race Course. Bob Pandolfo of Sharphorses selected Richard’s Kid to win, but conceded that, “The horse to beat is Rip Van Winkle.”
Two of our guest commentators, Carl M. and Man in White, favored Gio Ponti to win. Regarding Gio Ponti, Man in White drew lessons from last year. He said, “Last year he was entered in a dirt race after running all turf races to that point and he obliged by running his lifetime fastest figure at Santa Anita. Today he approaches this race similarly with 5 turf races.”
Here is the breakdown of the handicappers’ selections.

Rip Van Winkle

Twice Over underneath in the exotics at 20/1
|

I'm expecting a photo finish between Rip Van Winkle and Zenyatta. Should be a thrilling race to behold.

Jeffery Cobb (See Calder comments for this week.)

Goldikova was considered 2nd best Euro last year and we all remember what she did. Rip is considered the 2nd best Euro this year, and I expect him to lead the parade home. I may be wrong, but I think Zenyatta looks over matched here.

Rip Van Winkle
|
Race 7 #1 Mastercraftsman
|
Nico Kunalea
|
Sorry Zenyatta fans, it ain't happening. Rip Van Winkle has raced in the shadow of what many consider the best horse in the world, Sea the Stars.
|
|
|
Gio Ponti
|
4,7 with 3,4,7,10.... Trifecta: 4 with 3,7,10.... 4,7 with 12 with 3,4,7,10
|
Carl M (See Oak Tree at Santa Anita comments for this week.)
|
This 4-years old colt is doing extremely well for today's race. Let's just toss out his last race as he didn't like the wet track. He can handle the synthetic track and will show how good he can be. To do so he will need to beat, Zenyatta. For sure a tough task but let's take a shot.
|
|
|
Gio Ponti
|
Summer Bird
|
Man In White (See Churchill Downs comments for this week.)
|
Gio Ponti – Last year he was entered in a dirt race after running all turf races to that point and he obliged by running his lifetime fastest figure at Santa Anita. Today he approaches this race similarly with 5 turf races. Summer Bird - 3 times at this distance & won 2 with absolutely huge figures.
|
|
|
Zenyatta
|
Best Longshot Girolamo
|
Cwayne
|
Zenyatta will remain unbeaten, but look for Girolamo in the money with a decent payoff.

|
Zenyatta

Superfecta Key, Zenyatta over Colonel John, Richard's
|
Mike DeAngelo
|
Zenyatta handles this bunch with relative ease to remain undefeated.
|
|
|
Richard's Kid
|
Richards Kid
|
Bob Pandolfo
|
RICHARD’S KID is a peaking 4yo coming off the two best races of his career including a big win at this distance in the Pacific Classic, training strongly over the track and he could be set for another move forward. The horse to beat is RIP VAN WINKLE, who ran a big race against Sea The Stars at this distance on turf.

Richard's Kid
|
Exacta Key Box # 6 with 1 -2 -12; Win & Place on #6
|
John Theodore
|
This colt is on the improve since moving to the synthetic track with the addition of blinkers for the Baffert barn and the added distance should hit him right between the eyes today!
|
|
|
Quality Road
|
Richards Kid
|
Johnny Jupitur
|
Throw out the last two slop races for Quality Rd. He has all the numbers to win this. Richards Kid will be closing past Zenyatta.
|
|
|
Quality Road
|
Mine That Bird
|
William White
|
If Quality Road adapts to Poly he may surprise at a good price. Mine That Bird went well in the Goodwood. Look for improvement.
|

|
|
|
Mine That Bird
|
Exacta with Mine That Bird to Win (keyed) then followed by 12 (Quality Road), 3 (Summer Bird) and 7 (Gio Ponti).
|
|
Its Mine That Bird for the upset at a good price, strong closing speed, has run against some tough competition in past, gained ground in stretch last 2 races. Versatile horse with amazing closing speed that will hand Zenyatta a first defeat.
|
|
|
Einstein
|
3 horse box: Einstein, Summer Bird, and Zenyatta
|
Wiligee

ZENYATTA undefeated, but has EINSTEIN to beat at level,distance, and surface.
|
|
|
Girolamo
|
To WIN and try to squeeze him into your Pick 6
|
Steven Kolb
|
Long shot & why not? A young, strong and improving horse; Girolamo will be hustled to the front early. If he has enough left after a mile, he just might hold on.

If you are jogging or going to the gym then your obvious choice of footwear would be some kind of bailey button triplet or gym shoe but what about your Classic Cardy Boots choices for work and leisure? As we spend most of our time working, be it in the corporate world or as a stay-at-home mom looking after the kids, what we wear on our feet can say a lot about our personalities, often sending a message to the world that we may not even have consciously planned to send. What does your choice of Nightfall Boots say about you?Flats can be pumps, sandals, flip-flops, or brogues but they each give a completely different impression. Like brogues, pumps indicate a go-anywhere, practical nature but where brogues give a masculine edge, pumps are chosen footwear of the ing?nue and give a girlish look to an outfit. If the pumps are ballet style then the feminine factor is even more New Style Boots . Flat sandals in any style convey a sense of casualness and leisure and show the Metallic Boots, and are not usually worn to the office for this reason. Flip flops are strictly poolside or beach wear or between the salon and home when we've had a manicure.The heel of this shoe is aptly named after the equally sharp and pointy knife: the stiletto. This particular shoe has the ability to convey multiple messages, depending on the context in which it is worn. In the boardroom, this jordan air max shoe says, "Don't mess with me, I mean business", but its message after hours is completely the opposite. A pair of stilettos worn out at night are very much "come hither" Fox Fur in the bombshell tradition of Marilyn Monroe. The height of the shoe throws a woman's weight forward, causing her to arch her back to compensate, and together with the small mincing steps that are required, Classic Argyle Knit a provocative impression. |

Zenyatta was out for a jog today until they hit the top of the stretch and she stepped on the gas. Good for her to beat the boys on her home track and retire unbeaten |
