Thanksgiving early: Kentucky Derby Pool 2 / Sires Futures Analysis

.

Wednesday, November 27, 2024.

Kentucky Derby Futures Pool 2 is now upon us, along with the KDF sires pool, making this a great weekend to make money payable on the first Saturday of May.  Pool 2 opens Thursday November 28 (Thanksgiving) and will close at 6pm on Sunday, December 1.

.

Fortunately for you, we are providing the KDF2 Grid free of charge, downloadable instantly right here.  Highlighted are the 6-pack of horses competing this weekend.  5 are in the Kentucky Jockey Club G2, and one in the FSN Reality 300k at Gulfstream.

KDF11282024G

.

At first glance of the KDF2 Grid, a couple things stand out, namely the two horses that have achieved a triple digit Grid PF.  One is obviously Citizen Bull, BC Juvenile G1 winner trained by Baffert.  We don’t even need to discuss those qualifications, but 20-1 ML seems like quite a bargain.

Citizen Bull ran away in the 2024 BC Juvenile G1 at Del Mar

.

Second, Rated By Merit, the only entry competing in Saturday’s FSN Reality stakes, in which he is the 3-5 ML favorite.  Looking at that race, it’s difficult to envision him not winning it, albeit his first time at two turns, as is most of the field in that race.

.

Even if and when RTM does win the FSNR, there is a history of these horses coming up thru the state-restricted circuit in Florida or any other state for that matter.  Namely, they flop when competing in open company in graded stakes races.  But let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

.

That brings us to the 5 young colts in KDF2 that comprise half the field of the Kentucky Jockey Club G2 on Saturday.  Numerically, these steeds seem inferior to the above two already mentioned, with only one of them breaking the 90 PF barrier, far short of the 100 achieved by the top two.

.

Jonathan’s Way is the mild 5-2 favorite, with two straight PF’s of 90+, including the Iroquois win.  An obvious favorite in this race, but he lost to Citizen Bull by 7 lengths last out in the BCJ.  There’s no way I can justify recommending a KDF2 bet on him.

.

Aside from that, he may not even be the best colt in that race.  Lining up at the 1 post right next to him will be He’s Not Joking, coming down from Canada after winning the Grey G3 going away, with a 92PF, the highest in that field.  He’s not in KDF2, but at 8-1 I would bet him to win the KYJCGCG2.

.

RECOMMENDED KENTUCKY DERBY POOL 2 BETS:

BARNES (25-1 ML):  Unraced $3.2 million colt trained by Baffert

CITIZEN BULL (20-1):  BC Juvenile G1 winner trained by Baffert

RATED BY MERIT (50-1):  undefeated stakes winner trained by Michael Yates

GRAYSCALE (99-1):  Frosted colt, stumbled to victory in debut, Saffie Joseph trainer.

BULLARD (30-1):  Bob Hope G3 winner (Gun Runner, Michael McCarthy)

.

.

SIRES!

It looks painfully obvious when you look at the KDF2 Grid, which includes sires, who the top sire is for this go around.  Into Mischief has Citizen Bull (aforementioned), Donut God, Patch Adams, and Street Sense Stakes winner Sovereignty, and…

.

Don’t forget the unraced $3.2 million colt Barnes, also trained by Baffert, who will likely try to pull a Justify with him and not even race him until next year.  25-1 ML looks like a tempting wager on that one.  All told, Into Mischief has at least 5 serious competitors, but his ML is only 12-1.

.

We talked a lot about Rated By Merit, but he’s the only Battalion Runner, a sire who doesn’t even appear in the Sires Pool, meaning he would be All Other Sires at 12-1 ML.  I can go along with that, because you never know. Gun Runner is at 30-1 with two very fast colts and one not so fast.

.

RECOMMENDED SIRES BETS:

INTO MISCHIEF (12-1):  4 proven racers and one unraced $3.2 million Baffert trainee.  Bet it now.

ALL OTHER SIRES (12-1):  as long as you’re getting double digit odds, if not then pass.

GUN RUNNER (30-1):  only 2 proven runners of Derby caliber, but great odds for a great sire.

.

Sat.Nov.2 Breeders’ Cup Day 2: The Classic and 8 other G1’s. Precap, Picks, Predictions

Sat.Nov.2 Breeders’ Cup Day 2: The Classic and 8 other G1’s.  Precap, Picks, Predictions

.

Saturday November 2 2024.  Day 2 of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships is underway at sunny Del Mar today, with 130 horses competing for over $23 million USD in purse money, making it the most expensive race day in North American history.

.

The highlight is the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Classic is the featured race, with 14 of the finest racers in the world, aging from 3 to 6 years old, competing for a new record $7 million purse.  It will be the 8th race, scheduled for 5:41PM ET.  Let’s start with the Classic then work our way to other races.

R8 5:41ET 10f D BCClasic-G1 3 UP 

I like the morning line odds here, but if yesterday was any indicator, the real competitors including those that I mention here, will come way down in price closer to post time.

First of all I’m throwing out the morning line favorite City of Troy.  He may have the highest Timeform figure for his win last out at York in the Juddmont but is unraced on dirt. Aidan O’brien yesterday tied Wayne Lukas for the most Breeders’ Cup wins, but only two on dirt, and never this race.

13 Newgate 20-1:  Bob Baffert has won this race 4 times, and enters this horse with the tied highest Grid PF and second highest Timeform dirt PF, last out in the 9f Cali Crown G1, finishing 3rd by a neck.  The top two finishers there are notedly not racing today.

4 Mixto 30-1:  Virtually tied for the highest Grid PF, achieved last out in the Pac Classic G1 win, right here at Del Mar at the same distance.  Doug O is no stranger to the Breeders’ Cup and this horse like Newgate, has a great running style for this race.

9 Fierceness 3-1:  The best last out pair of PF’s and highest Timeform rating, achieved last out in the Travers G1.  Post time favoritism will likely go to this Pletcher trainee.

14 Next 8-1:  The 6 year old gelding brings not only vast experience, but the best trio of PF’s in his last 3, all stakes wins.  He rides a 7 race winning streak by a combined 92 lengths, or an astounding average of 14 lengths per victory for Bill Cowans.  He also has the best two PF’s overall.

11 Sierra Leone 12-1:  The youngster hasn’t registered a win for a while, but finished 3rd in the Travers, 2nd in the Jim Dandy, 3rd in the Belmont Stakes, and 2nd in the Kentucky Derby this year.  He likely won’t get the fast pace up front for his best race but should hit the board for Chad Brown.

2 Highland Falls 20-1:  Brings some competitive races and PF’s and a very competitive trainer in Brad Cox.  Last out he won the Jockey Club Gold Cup G1 at this distance.

1 Forever Young (JPN) 6-1:  He would be undefeated except for his narrow 3rd place finish in this year’s Kentucky Derby, with all his victories coming in Japan, Dubai, and Saudi.

Those are your top 7 and I don’t see a good reason to include any others in your wagering.

.

R7 5:01ET 12f T BCTurf-G1 3 UP 

Again I have 7 contenders, and against conventional wisdom, I’m going with Americans at the top two positions, but I can justify it with Christophe Clement and Todd Pletcher.

6 Far Bridge at 6-1 has the best PF’s and Timeform ratings, and has won two straight G1’s at this distance.

7 Grand Sonata comes off a G1 win at this distance for Pletcher.

After that I like the Charles Appleby favorite, followed by the other two single digit runners.

Give long shots Shahryar and Luxembourg a chance to hit the board.

.

R4 3:00ET 7f D BCFMSprt-G1 3 UP FM

The first Breeders’ Cup race of the day feature 8 females going 7 furlongs for $1 million.

6 4 2 9 is my call with not many good odds.

.

R5 3:41ET 5f T BCTrfSpt-G1 3 UP 

I’m not going to argue against the two favorites but it takes more than that to make up a trifecta or superfecta.  A 5f turf race will be over in 55 seconds so I’m looking for speed.

5 Ag Bullet fits the bill and has the highest Grid and Timeform PF and 10-1 ML.

7 Howard Wolowitz is young, improving, and coming off a G1 win, at 30-1.

10 Isivunguvungu is fun to attempt to pronounce and offers 20-1 ML.

Sprinkle in the horses trained by people with last name of Appleby for good measure.

.

R6 4:21ET 9f D BCDistaf-G1 3 UP FM

Boxing Sugar Fish and Honor Lady with the two favorites for a superfecta.

.

R9 6:25ET 11f T BCFMTrf-G1 3 UP FM

I would love to see Full Count Felicia hold on to a gate to wire victory at 12-1, with Dida at 12-1 and Moira at 8-1, defying Appleby and O’brien’s attempt to sweep the trifecta.

.

R10 7:05ET 6f D BCSprint-G1 3 UP 

There aren’t really great odds for the horses I like here except for maybe Raging Torrent and Skelly, but they could well burn out in a speed duel. Nakatomi could have the upper hand here.

.

R11 7:45ET 8f T BCMile-G1 3 UP 

There isn’t much speed for an 8f race so I would like Carl Spackler and Goliad to finish ITM with big late runs by More Than Looks and Chili Flag.

.

R12 8:25ET 8f D BCDirtMi-G1 3 UP 

Unlike the turf mile, this one does have a lot of early speed for 8f, so I’m looking for Post Time to gobble them up, and some good late running by Katonah. At least 2 of the 3 favorites will finish in the super.

.

Good luck!

Kentucky Derby 2025 Futures Pool 1: October 30- November 1 at 6PM ET. Grid

.

Thursday October 31, 2024.  Futures Pool 1 for the 2025 edition of the Kentucky Derby is open for business and will close on Friday November 1 at 6PM ET, which is about two hours before the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile will be contested at Del Mar.

.

10 great young colts will be competing for the $2 million dollar BC Juvenile purse money scheduled for 19:45PM Pacific.  About 100 other juvenile colts, geldings, and fillies will be competing in 4 other BC Grade 1 stakes for $5 million more in purses, and 3 juvenile stakes on the undercard.

.

Here is a snapshot of the Kentucky Derby Futures Pool 1 Grid free, as promised, no strings or springs attached.  You can also download below that: just right click, touchpad-hold, or press-hold on mobile, then select download link.  It’s that simple.

.

Kentucky Derby 2025 Futures Pool 1 Grid

Kentucky Derby 2025 Futures Pool 1 Grid

KDF10312024G

.

You can see that the 10 BC Juvenile G1 competitors are all highlighted in the Pool 1 Grid, along with 28 other individual entries, and the two field bets.  You will note that All other 3yo (who are now 2yo) males is the 4-5 ML favorite.

.

This is a normal occurrence in KDF1, as most people including the initial oddsmakers, don’t think the real Derby winner is on the radar yet.

.

However, you will see the name Bob Baffert listed 5 times, including the unraced 22 All American Dream (not a typo.)  Also, betting on a 4-5 field or as it currently is 3-5, is just a stupid wager.  Any horse you wager on Derby day will be higher than that.

.

But the most interesting young colt to me is Rated By Merit, at 60-1 ML, undefeated in 3, with not only the highest PF but the highest two PF’s on the board, which increased with the additional furlong last out at 7f in the Affirmed Stakes.

.

.

The only caveat I include about the Yates trainee is the winners coming up thru the state-restricted Florida circuit usually have a bad record in open company, but at 60-1 who cares? If he does end up making the Derby field, the odds will likely be lower on that day.

.

Before you leave the site, make sure you visit the Breeders’ Cup Juvy Day page for some picks and predictions for the full Friday race card.

And as usual, you can get the Breeders’ Cup Grid and all the weekend’s major track grids here.

Friday Nov.1 Del Mar: Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Day Precap, Picks, Predictions.

.

Friday, November 1 2024.  The much anticipated Breeders’ Cup World Championships begins on Friday with Juvenile Day.  All 5 Breeders’ Cup races are Grade 1’s for two-year-olds in various categories, each worth $1 million in purse money, except the BC Juvenile and BC Juvenile fillies, worth $2 million each.

.

Del Mar will once again host the Breeders' Cup Championships

Del Mar will once again host the Breeders’ Cup Championships in 2024

.

The 5 race BC card begins at 5:45PM Eastern, giving plenty of time for the eastern half of the USA to get involved.  The 5 race undercard begins at 2:35PM ET and includes 4 more races for 2yo’s.  West coasters shouldn’t have any problem getting up by 11:35AM after their Halloween hangovers.

.

Let’s highlight some of the races here using the Grid, with an emphasis on long shots.

R3 3:45ET 7f D GldStJuvFB175k 2 YO F

Watch out for #9 In the Air Tonight at 15-1 ML with a couple of the best PF’s on the board.

.

R4 4:25ET 8f T TBAftrcAlB200k 2 YO 

This big field of 14 after alternates processed, has a lot of talented turf juvies.

  1. Smash It is the fastest horse, with ML 10-1.
  2. Cavallo Bay is also representing the east coast looking good at 15-1.

9 and 10.  Ditto above comment.

  1. Test Score has top LP at 15-1ML and should have plenty of speed to run at.

15-18 won’t draw in unless others scratch.

.

R5 5:05ET 7f D GoldStJuvB175k 2 YO 

The SAX MSW pair of 2 and 7 could run 1-2 in this also, but the two favorites are solid.

.

R6 5:45ET 5f T BCJvTfSp-G1 2 YO 

Favored Ecoro Sieg is supposed do battle with the Doncaster Carlsberg pair for the title, but…

Smash It is the fastest US horse in the race at 20-1 but is an alternate.

Governor Sam is the fastest US horse that is in the main entry list, at 12-1.

Keep in mind that the fastest US horses usually win this race even though it’s on turf.

.

R7 6:25ET 8.5f D BCJuvFil-G1 2 YO F

2yo fillies?  Say Bob Baffert.  The two favorites plus Vodka With a Twist and Quickick will challenge.

Another big field that will reduce to 14 after scratches. It’s hard to argue against an Aiden O’Brien / Ryan Moore favorite in a BC turf race, but the slew of 5 American fillies from posts 3-7 look just as strong and have actually run 2-turn races.  4 of them have double digit odds.

R9 7:45ET 8.5f D BCJuvnle-G1 2 YO C&G

Ah, the long awaited BC Juvenile! A solid field of 10 will take to 2-turns, including 3 from Baffert’s barn.

If you told me nothing but that, I would just box the 3 Baffert horses, especially if you told me that the odds were 8-1, 10-1, and 20-1, and 2 of them ran 1-2 in the American Pharoah.

But the single digit ML horses all have strong preps too.  The only easy thing about handicapping this one is that you can throw out the 3 foreigners.

.

Now as a quick semi-aside:  all 10 of these competitors are appearing as individual entries in Kentucky Derby 2025 Futures  Pool 1, which is live now until Friday Nov.1 at 6PM, or about two hours before the BC Juvenile will be contested.  So if you like any of them, get them at good odds in KDF1.

R10 8:25ET 8f T BCJuvTrf-G1 2 YO C&G

This could be a rerun of the Summer Stakes at Woodbine, of which Dream On is 20-1 ML.

But what the hell are the Bourbon G2 winner and Zuma Beach runner up doing at 30-1?!

Also watch out for the Japanese racer undefeated in two at Tokyo.
