Races of the Week, Breeders Cup Edition

Last week, Ball Four, my selection in the Fayette Stakes, finished second, paying $6.40 to place and $4.80 to show. Aqueduct canceled last Sunday's card, including the Nashua Stakes.

This week, along with the rest of the Thoroughbred Bloggers Alliance, I'll try to pick winners in tomorrow's Breeders Cup races.

In the Juvenile Fillies, I'll go with Cash Included. Cash Included has shown she can win going around two turns. This race has historically been good for favorites. Brisnet.com provides free past performances via Todd Pletcher.

My selection in the Juvenile is Stormello. Stormello won the Norfolk Stakes and is coming off a bullet work at Hollywood. Brisnet.com provides free past performances via Bob Baffert.

In the Filly and Mare Turf, I'll bet Film Maker. She's never finished out of the money at this distance, and she's run well in this race the last two years. Brisnet.com provides free past performances via H. Graham Motion.

My selection in the Sprint is Pomeroy, who likes the distance and is coming off a win in the Forego Stakes. The Daily Racing Form provides free past performances.

In the Mile, I'll pick Echo of Light, who likes the distance. Echo of Light comes from the barn of Saeed bin Suroor, whose horses run well when making their first start in North America. Brisnet.com provides free past performances via Stronach Stables.

My selection in the Distaff is Pine Island. I think the pace sets up well for her. Brisnet.com provides free past performances via Stronach Stables.

In the Turf my selection is Go Deputy. Go Deputy likes the distance and trainer Todd Pletcher has him at the top of his game. The Daily Racing Form provides free past performances.

I don't see how they'll beat Bernardini in the Classic, He's my selection for the purposes of the TBA contest, but he'll probably go off at too short a price to bet. The Daily Racing Form provides free past performances via Equibase.
