You can get my thoughts and picks starting with race 3 at Keeneland today on the Hammer Betting Network here. Today’s feature analysis is below.
Keeneland • Race 9 • Breeders’ Cup Juvenile • 2YO • 5:00 EST There is a lot of talk coming into this race around 7 Cave Rock being the most likely winner of the weekend. I am more interested in the other Bob Baffert entry, 10 National Treasure. Here is the thing: jockey Joe Talamo and 1 Hurricane J is going to straight send from the rail. That is his only chance to win, even though I make that chance slim. A pressed Cave Rock could be vulnerable coming into the stretch, and National Treasure under jockey John Velazquez, and with blinkers back on, will get first crack. I also believe that 6 Blazing Sevens, under jockey Flavien Prat, can work out a trip and be in position to close from the back of the pack if there is a pace meltdown.
