What do you think about the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint Mr. Ductor?

Saturday Race 5: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) G1 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint

#4 Lieutenant Dan (6/1) – This is a tough race where you could make a case for any. Although The Ductor had no problem. He landed on this gelding, who is in great form leading into this spot. Not only is he 2/2 over this Del Mar turf course, he also has the early speed to put himself in a good position early. If that wasn’t enough, e draws a good post position and the cutting back in distance from a longer race down the hill. He’ll be able to carry his speed and hit the wire in front.

#7 Charmaine’s Mia (30/1) – Exiting the same race as Lieutenant Dan, this mare set ridiculous fractions for 6 1/2 furlongs. After setting that wicked pace, she rightfully faded late. Before that she was really good this spring, winning multiple graded stakes going one. Cutting back to 5 furlongs here, the Ductor thinks she is extremely dangerous with the early pace she possesses. Prat will put her in a good position like he always does and she has a big chance to make the Ductor’s Day.

#9 Kimari (6/1) – She’s the classiest runner of the bunch and the Ductor won’t get beat by her. She’s coming in off a long layoff, but she always fires. No matter what track or surface, she must be respected.

Only two more sleeps for the passengers until the Breeders’ Cup. I will be posting the Ductor’s breakdown of each race leading up until Friday. The Ductor never sleeps, time for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. Skip.

Friday Race 6: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) G2 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint

#9 One Timer (4/1) – This race is loaded with speed, but this gelding is the quickest. The Ductor likes the way he but away the pressure last time and at a flat 5 furlongs, he is very dangerous. The Ward horses will likely be over bet in here and thinks he’ll go off higher than this morning line with so many contenders.

#5 Hierarchy (12/1) – The Euros are usually a play against in this race, but many of them have more speed than usual. This colt is the Ductor’s favorite price and shipper in this race. He broke slow last time and his natural speed took him right to the front where he did all dirty work and was just nailed late. Shortening to 5 furlongs for the first time, the Ductor thinks he has a major chance if he breaks clean.

#11 Derrynane (12/1) – With all the early speed in here, this is the Ductor’s favorite closer. The Ductor likes that she’s proven she can close and win at this short distance. Rosario is the best rider for a closer in a turf sprint and she’ll get the setup she wants.
