Santa Anita - Breeders Cup - USA Racing Bets - 4 Nov 2023

Π Going: Dirt: Fast, Turf: Firm.

9:50 Up To The Mark (15/2) is a real top grade American horse who judging by the formlines, will be a hard nut to crack for the 4 European based horses taking up the top 4 places in the betting. I doubt the tote style pool betting will have this one as the 5th favourite come the off. 15/2 is available at the UK bookmakers, 10's atm on the exchanges, I'll take my chances to small stakes at what looks like reasonable odds to me, and watch some ridiculously high value American racing on the ITV4 Breeders Cup meeting this evening. Cheers, Sandracer.

2007 Breeders Cup Classic (US Racing)

I don't know very much about US Racing and US Racehorses in general. I do know the Breeders Cup meeting attracts some of the best horses from around the world.

On Saturday, it will be Breeders Cup Classic time. A 1 mile race over the dirt at Monmouth Park.

Curlin & Street Sense are two American racehorses I have seen run. Street Sense won the 2007 Kentucky Derby (video) with a run from back to front off of the Churchill Downs last bend, that needs to be seen to be believed.

However, Curlin reversed the run off the tighter track at Pimlico to win the 2007 Preakness Stakes (video) with a battling display. Curlin did not look a possible winner entering the last furlong after being headed, but fought back in style.

Lining up against the American runners is Aidan O'Brien's George Washington. Exactly the type of classy horse that could spring a surprise, and at likely odds too, around the 16/1 mark with most UK bookmakers.

For betting purposes, I cannot possibly oppose Street Sense. I shan't be gambling with anything like big stakes however.

2007 Preakness Betting (uk odds)

2007 Preakness Stakes

The $1million Preakness Stakes runs tomorrow, saturday the 19th of May at Pimlico Racetrack (usa). Last years Preakness was marred by the injury to wonderhorse Barbaro, who sadly could not overcome the odds stacked him after breaking his leg in 3 places on the unforgiving American dirt surface. Barbaro will always be remembered by USA racing fans. There is not alot more that can be said really.

2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense (4/1 uk odds), the 2nd placed Hard Spun (12/1 uk odds) and the 3rd placed Curlin(4/1 uk odds) and the unplaced Circular Quay (7/1 uk odds) reoppose each other in the 2nd leg of the US Triple Crown, albeit at half a furlong shorter on a tighter track (I am told).

The odds this time around are slightly different though, after Street Sense's highly impressive run from last to first in the final 2 furlongs. Steet Sense is now 5/6 favourite at the UK prices put up by Bet365 bookmakers. Hard Spun is a 5/2 shot, while Curlin is a 5/1 chance and Circular Quay is available at 8/s. Curlin was joint favourite last time around by the way.

Hopefully my USA Racing friend Mrracetrack can point me towards the actual winner of the Preakness, fingers crossed.

Overview of the 2007 KENTUCKY DERBY

2007 Kentucky Derby Overview

This years Kentucky Derby... the 133rd running of the classic "Run For The Roses"... has a scheduled field of 20 starters... all 3 year olds... and it is a wide open race that could see ANY of these 20 horses being victorious.

This is an extremely difficult race to handicap... as the large field will create a lot of traffic problems... and make positioning vital, but difficult... and racing "luck" will play a big part in the outcome of this race.

The major contenders are morning line favorite CURLIN (4/1)... with STREET SENSE (4/1)... SCAT DADDY (6/1)... and NOBIZ LIKE SHOBIZ (8/1) all likely to receive a fair amount of betting support.

A few "price shots" are TIAGO (16/1)... CIRCULAR QUAY (7/1)... and ANY GIVEN SATURDAY (14/1)... all in with a big chance, in my opinion.

With this race at a mile and a quarter distance... which is longer than any of these horses have ever raced before... the horse that gets the best trip, and avoids traffic... will have the best shot a winning.

With no real "stand out"... the stretch run in this race should be dramatic... with any horse within 5-6 lengths at the top of the stretch a possible winner.

This will be a great race to "watch"... but NOT to bet... other than to take a shot with a few 20-1 or better horses and perhaps "get lucky"... as there is little value in betting anything at less odds.

Enjoy the race!
