Time to analyze the 2020 Breeders' Cup Classic field, in post position order, in the form of Haiku; a Japanese poem of 17 syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five.

#1 – Tacitus
A frustrating case
Loves to almost win races
Gotta be due, right?
#2 – Tiz the Law
Could the crop's top horse
Be under the radar here?
His price could be fair
#3 – By My Standards
Few are more honest
Extra furlong's the question
Big price if he can
#4 – Tom's d'Etat
Classic Stall patience
Or did that nightmare Whitney
Snuff his momentum?
#5 – Title Ready
Shouldn't have a prayer
But the Dallas Stewart factor
Keeps him on notice
#6 – Higher Power
Struggled to break through
In the West Coast's shallow ranks
Needs his all-time best
#7 – Global Campaign
Trending the right way
Might have been my Dirt Mile pick
Less imposing here
#8 – Improbable
Once a cash burner
Now could be Baffert's best shot
Just keeps improving
#9 – Authentic
How he'll fare depends
On what's left in his reserves
From his Preakness war
#10 – Maximum Security
A rocky career
Approaches its conclusion
Feels like a bounce risk
Prediction
2020's weird
Let's give it to Tacitus
Eight, four, two follow
