2016 Breeders’ Cup Distaff Betting Preview PT 2

This is mostly motivated by the fact that they were the owners of the infamous and unfortunate Eight Belles, who broke down at the wire after finishing second in the Kentucky Derby.

As it currently stands a number of major bookmakers have Songbird priced as low as 8/13 while she goes as high as a 5/6 margin with a couple of books. Many consider her to be the absolute banker here and she will be a popular addition to a number of accumulator tickets that unfold throughout the weekend’s action. 

Stellar Wind is the next lowest priced contender to take on Songbird here and she is a true second choice favourite with a lot of momentum and some really nice performances under her belt for the entirety of the 2016 racing season in the United States. Several bookmakers go as high as a 4/1 margin but the vast majority float her in the 11/4 or 7/2 corridor. 

Beholder is a now legendary mare who has put in some of the best performances on the Distaff side in a number of year and has been absolutely dominant since she hit the track a few years ago. She has won this race before and deserves a lot of respect but there are a lot of racing fans who just wonder whether she has the genuine ability to get the job done here against the likes of Songbird - who many believe to be the second coming of Beholder herself. 

There are a few books who have Beholder trading as low as a 3/1 margin while a few others have her available as high as a 9/2 price tag and she will likely be there or thereabouts in the wagering markets and the American pari-mutuel pools on the day of the race.
