THE Official Breeders Crown Selections Thread!

[Headpole Dave]

 

One of my favorite cards of the year, all the top colts, fillies and older horses going for big money, establishing dominance in their respective divisions.

1- Cedar Dove. Jamieson all but guaranteed a win with Frenchfrysandvinegar. I see that getting him some on track pay back. The Dove picks up Pierce and that's light years above Vanderkemp. Look for an upset. Box 2,6,7,8 in the exotics.

2- Somewhereoverarainbow: Peaking at the right time. Absolutely destroyed them last week and made it look effortless. This royally bred filly has Andy Miller but I'm playing anyway. Box 1,2,3,7 in the exotics.

3- Mister Herbie. I see Commander Crowe and Chapter Seven battling and Herbie picking up the pieces.


4- Romantic Moment. One half of the powerful Tatker entry. Throw a dart in here, this is a tight race. Box 1,3,4,8 in the exotics.

5- Bee A Magician. I'm not a huge Rick Zeron fan against the big boys, but this is a nice nice filly. Box 2,3,6,8 in the exotics.

6- Win Missy B. Can't argue against the results. She's beaten the heavy morning line favorite the last two starts. Box 1,2,3,5 in the exotics.

7- Captaintreacherous. Dominating two year old who looked identical to his old man last start. 100 dollar straight exactor 2-7

8- Wheelin N Dealing. Perfect 8 for 8 on the season so far for the powerful Jones/Filion combination. I don't think it ends here. Key this one on top of 1,3,4,8,10

9- Heston Bluechip. Not the sexiest horse in the field but a nice one that flys under the radar. Quietly has had a very nice year in a wide open division. Box with 1,2,4,5

10- Rebeka Bayama. The big mare had a nice tune up last week, and she's in tough against the best tonight. She won't get things her way tonight, but I think she's good enough to win. Box with 3,4,9,11

11- Little Brown Fox. Very consistent horse and he'll have to be on his A game tonight. Probably the toughest race for me to handicap. Box 2,3,4,8 in the exotics.

12- Golden Receiver. Didn't beat himself up last week but will be all systems go tonight.

Good luck and enjoy the great racing!!!

Alright here is my take on the card

Race 1 #8 Frenchfrysnvinegar- I had her last year at big odds and tonight I have to take her as the fav. She Rolls

Race#2- Somewherovrainbow- Are you kidding me with this breeding? I would single her in the DD and I would play her straight in ex her with I luv the Night life.

Race 3- Commander crowe wins this end fo story. 6 horse field, he can drop to last and he is going to run down this field Chapter 7 runs 3rd straight punch Crowe  Herbie

Race #4 # 3 Romantic Moment is the best horse in the division right now, She stands above the rest, #1 Economy Terror is better than #4 American Jewel right now and the only other horse to consider is #5 Shelliscape and that is only if they go crazy up front

Race#5 I think #6 Bee A Magician is the best. She has already beat the 8 when big money was on the line, but you have to use both when playing the pick 4. I will play more off Bee A Magician

Race#6 Only 3 you can use here And I like # 2 Win Misy B the best here, She Made Check Me outs Futurity an even bigger Joke and right now she is better. The other horse to use is #6 Maven. I thought she was better than check me out all year so I think she can win as well

Race#7 # 3 Captaintreacherous- IMO the horse of the year, and only going to get better at 3. Straight punch him and the 2 Rockin Amedeus- Holy Breeding here and he was running over horses last week after a bad drive by Yanni

Race #8- Well I was worried about Wheelin and Dealing being off a month last week, he still won, my 2nd biggest lock on the card. Wins easy

Race#9 Imo There are only 2 horses that can't win this race. The #6 Dapper Dude and the #9 Hillbilly Hanover. The rest of the field can win this but I think the best horse is # 3 Escape The News! 30-1 Ml? Really. Does the ML guy even watch the races? He was running over horses in the better of the 2 divisions. Going to use all but the 2 I said had no chance in the pick 4 but if I can get 15-1 on the News, Ill be betting $100 to win

Race #10 4 horse race IMO, #2 Rocklamation, #4 Anndrovette, #9 Rebeka Bayama, and #11 Drop The Ball. I Think Bayama is the best horse but all 4 will be on the pick 4 ticket

Race#11  #3 Intimidate he went by market share( And The rest of the field like they were shot) IMO SF chose poorly, Now I get Ronnie for a big final? Perfect. Little Brown Fox will finish ahead of Market Share

Race#12 #10 Forclosure- 30-1 ML?? Are you kidding me? Does the morning line guy even watch the previous weeks races? Fresh horse and I think he wins by 4 and I am hoping for 10-1 but this horse should be 2nd choice in this field.

Good luck All

Pezz, I pretty much agree with your selections!   Hope you have a big night!
There will be some upsets.  Maybe only one or two or as many as 6.  I predict at least one will come where least expected.
That's's the one I hope I come up with and it might be when the gate starts rolling!

[CyberChamp]

Good luck guys!

Looks like the rain could play a big factor tonight, keep an eye out for track bias.

Lots of chalk tonight, but a few value plays.
R1

[burton]

R1 - #8 Frenchfrysnvinegar

R 2 - #2 Somwheovarrainbow looks very solid. Can leave hard and come home hard. Sitting on a huge mile. 2W1/5/3

R3 - #6 Chapter Seven

R4 - Romantic Moment
 Pick Four (3/5-2/6/8-1/2/11-3)

R 5 - looking for another match race between the low odds Bee A Magician and To Dream ON. If the price allows the #2 Royal Assests getting Tetrick may be in the right place at the right time for a nice upset. At a price.

R6 - Another race where the top 2(Check Me Out & Win Missy B) may tangle and set it up for #11 Chilitodayhotamle who has a nice late kick. Price will allow.

R7 - #3Captaintreacherous

R8 - Looking for a good speed trip for # * Royalty For Life. 8W2/1/4
Pick Four (1/2/8-4/7/10-2/11-3)

R 9 - #Mel Mara is the sharpest horse going in. Will be leaving and following what I think will be a live flow. 10W7/4/2

R 10 - Drop The Ball is much the best here. Might get lucky and get 3-2 here. 11W2/9/4

R 11 - Intimidate's brush had to be seen to be believed last week. Now gets Pierce? What's no to like. 3W8/4/2
Late Double (3-10)
R12 - Foreclosure
went an unbelievable mile in last over easier. Has been showing good speed since joining the Burks barn. Works out a trip here and closes by them all late. 10W7/8/5

Good luck to all!!!!!

I love Chapter Seven tonight and the European horse has not been winning lately while Chapter Seven is at the top of his game.

Market Share drew poorly and I don't like his chances tonight because of it, not to mention the horse that beat him last week looked awesome doing it.

Good luck to everyone playing.

[The Skipper]

Looks like a good card to watch for me, bound to be some upsets with a sloppy track.

Good luck to everyone in action.

[RocknRoll]

Marty Party scratched in the 4th race, so Destinys Chance is now in. Also Majestized scratched in the 8th race, so Fashion Blizzard gets in.

[jug]

Playing Mel Mara back and he will have to leave for position.


Lets try Garys man Bret with....CAMILLE in the 10th!

If Frenchfrysnvinegar runs her best race she should win the first. But she is very inconsistent. Tamla Celeber is a sneaky play for me but the post will definitely be a problem. Was supposed to be a monster coming over here, making over a million dollars but disappointed so far. Last week she looked a lot better then she did in her first two starts and had plenty of pace with no where to go in the stretch. Should offer some value if Frenchfrysnvinegar falters.

Looks like a good card to watch for me, bound to be some upsets with a sloppy track.

Good luck to everyone in action.

 

Probably a good idea and Jug only gave us a couple of toss outs..

Good luck all,   definately a great night to eat, drink, bet and be merry...

[tonyb147]

These are my picks for the handicapping contest on Twin Spires. Have $5 WP on each.

R1 #8 FRENCHFRIESNVINEGAR - should win
R2 #4 ART IDEAL - maiden but when everyone is picking Andy I'm picking elsewhere
R3 #2 MISTER HERBIE - beat Chapter Seven the last time they raced together in CA, might happen again
R4 #5 SHELLISCAPE - sits back and lets the others bang heads
R5 #3 MISTERY WOMAN - gets it done at a decent price
R6 #1 CHECK ME OUT - gets payback
R7 #3 CAPTAINTREACHEROUS - don't want to root against that Alagna guy
R8 #2 WHEELING N DEALIN - uhm, because he likes to win
R9 #3 ESCAPE THE NEWS - when pezz talks, people listen (unless it's football).
R10 #2 ROCKLAMATION - horse gets no respect at the windows, she's got mine.
R11 #7 GUCCIO - why? cuz I love being punished by another bad Takter drive.
R12 #10 FORECLOSURE N - pezz hooked me up with some hot steam here last week, going to play back despite my best judgement.

[Yeah Baby]

8 / 1,2,4,5 / 2,4,6        an ease into bet...
