2016 Breeders' Cup Distaff Betting Odds PT 2
- By A.J. Ryder on August 4, 2016 23:30 GMTAs it currently stands, the undefeated superstar Songbird is the reigning odds-on favourite to secure this race and that price is helped by the fact that her connections have reiterated that they have no plans to run against the boys for bigger money and are simply happy to stop by and pick up a cheque even though she appears to have never been tested as much as people think she would be against a tougher set of foes.
Right now several bookmakers have Songbird as short as a 1/3 price for the Breeders Cup Distaff though a few books have her priced as high as a 4/6 margin. This makes her one of the biggest locks of the year with several months between now and then and Songbird likely to target this race and this one exclusively after she finishes up the boutique meet at Saratoga where she is expected to run one more time.
Her main rival may be Carina Mia who can be backed as high as a 10/1 margin and she is up against a handful of other impressive females who are vying to be the main challenger for Songbird in the fall on Breeders' Cup Friday. Carina Mia is available anywhere from an 8/1 all the way up to the aforementioned 10/1 price with some bookmakers and punters supporting Cathryn Sophia as the betting choice for the position as her main rival.
It's also worth noting that Curalina can be spotted as low as 7/1 with several ante post markets but they also have her priced as high as a 12/1 as she will want to get back to winning ways and has already ben bested by Songbird before. Curalina is a popular contender this year and has already built up a rather devoted fanbase in what has been a great year for Curlin babies.
A few bookmakers have also decided to list Rachel's Valentina in the mix for the 2016 Breeders' Cup Distaff and she can be backed at a general 16/1 right now while Stopchargingmaria is priced as high as 20/1 right now with a number of top European bookmakers. Forever Unbridled is priced anywhere between 20/1 to 25/1 while Go Maggie Go appears to be gathering some momentum with a price anywhere between 16/1 and 25/1.
The likes of Lewis Bay, Land Over Sea and Sheer Drama all look like ingteresting outside shots with prices as high as 33/1 right now.
