Breeders’ Cup Betting Update PT 2

Catalina Cruiser, trained by John Sadler and owned by venerable California racing scion Kosta Hronis, has drifted up to an 8/1 after actually trading as the outright favourite for this contest over the past while.

McKinzie trades as the 4/1 favourite to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic and he is facing some stiff competition from a number of talented contenders - many seem to think he will excel at a shorter distance but trainer Bob Baffert seems to have him pointed in this direction and has been clear about his intentions for quite some time. 

Code of Honor is looking to complete a very unique treble of races this year as he emerged as one of the beneficiaries of Maximum Security’s disqualification in the Kentucky Derby this year that handed the victory to longshot Country House. He then went on to capture the Travers Stakes against some of the best three year olds in the country and then was put up over Vino Rosso in the Jockey Club Gold Cup as he stepped up to take on older colts and geldings for the first time. 

Code of Honor can be backed at a 5/1 price tag right now for the Breeders’ Cup Classic and he looms as one of the most interesting choices in the market right now, appearing to be peaking at just the right time. 

Vino Rosso will definitely be out looking for revenge in that race and he can be backed around an 8/1 price tag with several top bookmakers in their ante post markets. He has gotten better as he has gotten older and the connections were definitely frustrated by the call made by the stewards in that last race at Belmont. 

No three year old has ever won the Travers, Gold Cup and Classic in the same season and it looks as though Shug McGaughey’s charge could be set to make a genuinely big impression around here.
