1. What horse are you most excited to bet in the Breeders' Cup & why? – Turf – His best efforts have come at a 1 1/2. He has been off since the end of August with this race as the main goal. He has been just a step behind the best in Europe this year (Australia, The Grey Gatsby, Taghrooda, etc.) and having the best in the world, Ryan Moore won’t hurt either.

2. What horse are you most excited to bet against in the Breeders' Cup & why? Hootenanny in the Juvenile Turf. I am not sure Hootenanny will be the favorite at post time but if he is feel free to bet against him. This will be his first effort past six furlongs and I have serious questions if he can compete with these at a mile. His breeding (Quality Road out of a Hennessy mare) is typically maxed out at a mile. His sister Love This Kitty (trained by Michael Matz) has one win in seven starts and has never even raced past six furlongs. Hootenanny’s dam, More Hennessy only raced once and all of her siblings (seven of them) were all sprinters with next to zero success past six furlongs.

3. Are you concerned about track bias again this year or do you think they learned their lesson from 2013? I am always concerned about track bias on big days because it keeps happening at track after track. Hopefully the complaints from Friday last year will ensure a fair track.

4. My favorite go-to bet for Breeders’ Cup day(s) is: I’m a grinder so I feel that the BC value is in the Exacta pool. Full fields will give you value across the board making the exactas the right mix of value and ease to hit. I will dip into the pick three and pick four pools on BC day but sometimes stringing together three-four winners can be difficult.

5. What bet would you advise a newbie to focus on for the Breeders’ Cup? Win and Exacta. Pick out a horse you like. Make a nice win bet and then play that same horse first and second in exacta wheels with four or five other contenders. Low cost, fun and a chance to win some nice money.

6. The Euros have been dominant this year on North American grass. Will this continue on the Santa Anita green? Yes, I think the Euros will take all of the grass races except the Turf Sprint. The two-year-olds look good and the older horses should eat up the top US grass horses.

7. Who is your favorite longshot? Cigar Street in the Classic and Silentio in the Turf Sprint

8. Will big public money on and California

Chrome make them unbettable in the win pools? Yes, I think both Shared Belief and figure to be big 3 underlays. This should make Cigar Street and Tonalist both nice overlays who have big shots to win. THE HORSEPLAYER MONTHLY, BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE HORSEPLAYERS ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA

It’s that time of the year; the two day affair we all get Something always happens at the Breeders’ Cup. ready for. Here are a few things I love about the Breeders’ Cup that I thought I would share. The Aftermath – I love the after-event chatter at each Breeders’ Cup. Someone doesn’t like a Broadway act The Camaraderie – When I in university, our abode singing some song, the national anthem, a ride, the TV was Super Bowl Party Central, and the place was packed. coverage, the track bias, the weather, or a half-dozen bad For my Breeders’ Cup parties the place is never packed – beats. So much happens during this mega-event that it’s hard to find like-minded horseplayers in this day and there’s always something to talk about. It’s like clockwork age - but I have always loved them. Getting together – at and I love it. home, at a simo center or the track, or with our friends online – is a staple of this event. From morning until night The Shot – What other event gives us the chance that we watch the races, play the races, share tickets, share being right can be worth so much money? For the smaller hard luck stories or bad beats, and the odd time cash a player they can hit a huge pick 4 or super. For a guy or gal nice ticket. This is not the Derby, or the Belmont; it’s a that splits pick 6 tickets they can like a couple of longshots, smorgasbord of betting that lasts all day, seemingly from key them, go deep in other legs and have a ticket that can dawn til dusk. I love it. pay (especially with a Saturday carryover like we see so often) a million or more dollars. Sure it might not happen, but it could happen. That’s the sweet sound of the Breeders’ Cup. I was a kid when the first Breeders’ Cup took place. I was far away from a place that took bets, and I wasn’t old enough to bet in the first place, but I was enthralled the whole day. Thirty years later I look back at them, think of the memories they brought me – both the good and the bad – and I can’t help but smile. I am unabashedly pro- Breeders’ Cup, and as long as they keep putting on the races, I will be there. It’s probably my most favorite sporting event, and I can’t see that changing anytime soon.

In the four BC Turf Sprints at The early pace is almost always extremely fast, although Santa Anita all four winners had at least one win over the not as fast as it appears because the horses are running course and the last three (California Flag and Mizdirection downhill. The outside posts have the shortest trip because twice) had multiple stakes wins over the course. The one of the slight right hand turn so speed horses in the lower with a single win was Desert Code who won the inaugural post positions are at a slight disadvantage. Position is turf sprint at odds of 36/1. critical at the bottom of the hill because the run home is Horses shipping in for the race that have no experience very short. over the course should be eliminated from the win All of this leads to a few myths that result in horses being position and only those with exceptional form and class over bet that are actually at a huge disadvantage when should be considered in the second and third positions. facing horses with proven form over the downhill course. Additionally just as horses with proven form over the

course merit extra consideration so to do jockeys. If a Myth # 1 - European Horses Have an Advantage jockey is not locally based and has not been at any point in

At While some European horses win over the downhill the current meet the king of the hill has been Joe Talamo course the first time over it that happens more often in with five wins.

If the horse has not run down the hill recently money after winning the G2 Nearctic at Woodbine in his the best angle for winning effort is turning back from a turf most recent start but history says he will burn a lot of route. Horses that showed speed routing are usually money and is more likely to finish in the bottom four than dangerous in Santa Anita turf sprints and to a lesser extent top four. so too are horses that closed from off the pace in a route

race. Myth # 2 - Speed is King To summarize the winning formula for Santa Anita turf

sprints is: horse for the course + jockey for the course + With a downhill run and a short stretch it's easy to think recent race over the course or turn back from a turf route. that speed is the best asset to have in Santa Anita turf Following that formula will lead to more winners than sprints.

not going to make a lot of WIN bets on the weekend on anything less than 10-1 - so they're both probably going to

be unbettable to me. But, at 9-5 or above, Shared Belief Seth Merrow (equidaily.com) could be attractive to bettors inclined towards that wager. And California Chrome mght be interesting at 4-1 on up. So, if the ML holds up - they're both probably about where 1. What horse are you most excited to bet in the they should be. Breeders' Cup & why? There's no horse I'm really plugged into this year - but I guess for excitement there's nothing like a live longshot, however, I'm not sure Puca [Juv Fillies] lives up to the longshot moniker at the 6-1 ML price and Flying Tipat [Juv Fillies Turf] is stuck on the AE list. So - I guess I'll tip towards touting Rich Tapestry in the Sprint, if that 5-1 ML holds up.

2. What horse are you most excited to bet against in the Breeders' Cup & why? I don't know if "excited" is the best word - but the anticipated short price on Shared Belief will kick up the price on some other logical contenders.

3. Are you concerned about track bias again this year or do you think they learned their lesson from 2013? I anticipate that after last year the team at Santa Anita will be more cognizant of how the track is playing on both days - and therefore the pronounced bias from Day One in 2013 seems less likely.

Turf, One Mile (Mile, Juvenile Turf, Juvenile Fillies Turf) The inside six post positions hold a strong edge at this

distance. The rest are poor, though again, little data exists By Craig Milkowski, TimeformUS for the outside two post positions, 13 and 14. It is hard to imagine they would not follow the trend and be poor. Post position is an important, but often misunderstood, piece of the handicapping puzzle. The following analysis is based on the last four years of racing at Santa Anita. Sadly, there isn’t enough data for races at nine furlongs or greater to draw any meaningful conclusions, but that still leaves nine of the 13 races worthy of analysis. The Santa Anita dirt surface was changed prior to the fall meet, but since post position trends are impacted much more by track layout than the surface itself, the older data is relevant. The analysis below is based not on win percentage at “general” distances like sprint or route, but on specific distances using Impact Values and Return on Investment (ROI). The former incorporates differing field sizes into the equation, while the latter adds quality of the horses drawn in each post. Post position stats should not be final decision makers, but they should be used as a means of upgrading and downgrading horses viewed as contenders.

Dirt, Six Furlongs (Sprint) This distance favors horses drawn in the middle of the gate. The inside four post positions all perform below average. Posts five through 10 are well above average as a group with some minor fluctuations between those posts. Posts 11 and wider are well below average.

Dirt, Seven Furlongs (Filly and Mare Sprint) The inside posts (one through five) perform well below expectations as a group. All others as a group are excellent draws, the farther out the better.

Dirt, Eight Furlongs (Dirt Mile) Surprisingly, there are no real trends here. The inside wins more than expected, but also tends to be bet to do so, thus ROI statistics even things out. There is very little data outside of post 10, however. Tread lightly with horses drawn in posts 11-14.

Dirt, Eight and a Half Furlongs (Juvenile, Juvenile Fillies) The rail has been a poor draw at this distance, but posts two through six are strong, seven through nine are average, and outside of that is poor with light data.

Turf, About Six and a Half Furlongs (Turf Sprint) Posts one through five all perform below average. Posts six through 12 are very strong, probably the biggest post edge at Santa Anita overall. Posts 13 and 14 have not had enough runners for any real conclusions, but the trend would indicate those stalls won’t be at a disadvantage, at the least.

Pick 4’s at the Breeders’ Cup, and in only one instance has the four horse parlay ever paid more than the Pick 4.

Its Ladies' Classic '12 $3,543 $3,347 definition is so pure, whether referring to sports betting or Turf Sprint $7,031 $4,510 horse race wagering, parlay simply means take the Classic $22,590 $15,667 winnings from a bet and put it all on another bet.

Juvenile $2,199 $1,740 So why don’t a lot of Breeders’ Cup players bet parlays?

Even harder to With Eight doubles (two horses in a row), Seven Pick 3’s, believe is that in every Pick 4 listed above, there was at Three Pick 4’s and one Pick 6, there are at least two and as least one favorite winner (with the exception of the $187k many as four of these types of wagers in each Breeders’ return). And with minimum bet size of .50 cents in the Cup race. And with pools that range from $300k - $3mm Pick 4, there is no barrier to entry for any horse player. per wager, the value is in the multi-race wagers and not the To determine Pick 4 ticket cost, take the number of traditional parlay (in horse racing it is defined as bet one horses in each race you want to play and multiply them. horse to win and if he/she wins “parlay” the winnings on For example, 3 horses in each race is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3, 81 one horse in the next race). combinations x .50 cents is a $40.50 bet.

Breeders’ Cup Stats

ABOUT THE STATS PRESENTED BELOW

The stats presented below came from a database compiled using data from HDW (Handicappers Data Warehouse.) The database itself contains the most recent five years of Breeders Cup history and includes both the Friday and Saturday Breeders Cup cards for calendar years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.

RIDERS WHO KNOW THEIR MOUNTS

Oddly enough, one thing that makes sense about BC Graded Stakes is that riders who are familiar with their mounts have historically outperformed riders with fewer starts on their mounts. The following table shows that, over the past 5 years, riders going to the starting gate in a BC Graded Stakes for the 1st or 2nd time on a horse are up against it - having won at just a 7 or 8 pct clip.

While at the same time, riders heading to the starting gate for the 7th or 8th time on a mount have won at a 20+ pct clip (at nice prices too.)

BARN CHANGE

Oddly enough, BC Stakes horses with just 1 or 2 previous starts for a new barn have historically outperformed horses with 3 or more starts for their barns.

Also, oddly enough, BC Stakes horses that have been in the same barn forever - those with 11 or more starts for the the same barn - have historically outperformed the competition.
