BEST BET Race 11 the 3 Obviously (Ire)

 BC Juvenile Turf R4
 Sticking with the European horses. Artigiano raced against top Euro horse Olympic Glory, Dettori in to ride. Dundonnell G3 win, G2 placed has regular rider Doyle aboard 4-2-1-1. Fantastic Moon finished behind choice in last.

BC F&M Sprint R5
 Switch the FM Sprint runner up last 2 years is working bullets in the AM, 2 wins over track and gets Gomez looks ready to pop at a good price. Groupie Doll this is her race to lose as she has won 4 straight. Musical Romance last years winner, 2 G1 wins and is working well. Rumor long-shot with a chance 3 wins from 5 starts at SA, none at today's distance, Mike Smith riding for Mandella.

BC Dirt Mile R6
 Fed Biz 3rd off layoff switch back to Talamo for Baffert 3 for 3 at distance and 2 for 2 at SA. 
Jersey Town 110 Beyer in last stands out ships in for Tagg with JJ riding fast 5f bullet on 10/23 58/3. Emcee won the G1 Forego in last working well, never raced this far.  

BC Turf Sprint  R7
 California Flag loves the SA downhill turf course 6 wins from 9 starts 5 for 7 at distance, 8Y/Ois working bullets for second start of year. 6-1 would be a gift. Mizdirection 2 for 2 at distance and won both starts on SA course. 4Y/O is working well for first start since May. Bridgetown has won 2 in a row stretches out to this distance for first time, gets JR for Pletcher and finished 2nd only time on SA turf.

BC Juvenile R8
  Power Broker won this distance G1 in last on this course, bullet work, Bejarano for Baffert great outside post can sit just off pace and rally for the win. Title Contender the other Baffert breaks from the rail will be sent early can hang on for second. Fortify never ran on Lasix and has improved in every start, Dominguez rides for K McLaughlin, good outside post and should rally for a share. 

BC Turf R9
  It's the Euros. Shareta won 2 of last 3 both G1's the loss was against the boys in G1 Arc, classy filly Lemaire riding and 3 wins at distance. St Nicholas Abbey the defending champ gets Lasix draw a line through last race and looks very dangerous in here. Point of Entry 4 for 4 at distance, has won 3 straight G1's and 5 wins total in a row, best chance for US horse. Treasure Beach 3rd start in row on US soil for Aidan O'Brien win less this year has lost to all top 3 in previous races. Trailblazer Japanese horse finished 2nd in first start at SA in G2 Take rides must use to back up in multi race wagers.

BC Sprint R10
   Amazombie defending champ, Mike Smith riding 5 for 8 at distance 2nd off layoff should be ready to fire his best. Needs clean trip from outside post. Fast Bullet 2 for 2, never challenged, Talamo riding for Baffert, bullet works should be ready to fire best race. Smiling Tiger training pattern is exceptional for first start since June gets Dominguez for trainer Bonde and can sit off pace very dangerous at a price.

BC Mile  R11
 Obviously 3 wins in a row at the distance 2 for 3 on this turf course, very fast, Talamo rides for trainer Mitchell. Wise Dan 3 straight wins including 2 G1's at this distance first start on SA turf. Moonlight Cloud Euro Longchamp G1 winner n last gets Lasix for trainer Freddie Head, regular rider Jarnet on board. Excelbration Lasix won 2 G1's on last 2 starts ships in for Aidan O'Brien gets Lasix only losses this year were to superhorse Frankel, main concern is fast turnaround from Oct 20th race.

BC Classic R12
 Why fight it Game On Dude for Baffert is a standout here 5 for 5 at SA ready to roll with Bejarano riding. Ron the Greek won the SAH in March on this track working bullets for Mott. Fort Larned has won at 5 different tracks including a win in the G1 Whitney.

Cheers!
