TDN's Senior Editor Steve Sherack reveals his selections for Breeders' Cup Saturday.
Race 3: GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint–#8 Goodnight Olive (3-1)
This is definitely one of my stronger opinions of the weekend. I love Goodnight Olive in this spot. Her win in the GI Ballerina this summer was as good as it gets and she's tactical enough to work out that same kind of trip right off the speed. Have good memories cashing on the Chad Brown-trained Wavell Avenue in this same race at Keeneland in 2015.
Race 4: GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint–#8 Golden Pal (2-1)
Can't see two-time Breeders' Cup winner Golden Pal getting beat here, especially over his home court. Won't get rich with that opinion, but getting longshots #7 Arrest Me Red (15-1) and/or #14 Artemus Citylimits (30-1) involved underneath in the gimmicks can still pay decent.
Race 5: GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile–#3 Pipeline (8-1)
With the defection of Laurel River–he really did look very tough in here–I'll take a shot with Pipeline now. He's fast enough to wire this field, but can also sit right off if necessary. The price should be right.
Race 11: GI Breeders' Cup Classic–#6 Epicenter (5-1)
Can Flightline get upset here? Highly unlikely. But if anyone has a chance to make him work for it, it's Epicenter. After making my largest win bet of the year (and highest in quite some time) in the Kentucky Derby, it's been rewarding sticking with him throughout the summer at Saratoga. I'm gonna need higher than the morning-line quote of 5-1 to be a player here though.
