This special edition will touch on each of the Breeder\u2019s Bowl races. There is a lot of hard work going into each individual race article so do not miss those great individual articles. The fields are full of great runners I plan to just touch on a few in each race. \u00a0\u00a0<\/SPAN> Race: 2657.0415 Breeders Bowl Classic<\/SPAN> – Grade I – $4,000,000<\/SPAN><\/B> No shortage of talent here. Call of the Wild II is the morning line favorite and deservedly so. He has done little wrong this year with three grade I wins including the Sand Castle Classic. Call of the Wild II came off a layoff and ran a huge race winning the CA Classic by nearly four lengths against a top notch field. He dropped back in distance and bounced a little last time out but still ran third. This will be his third race off the layoff, he got the bounce out of the way and seems set for a top effort. That still may not be good enough here. The three year old of the moment is 17\/1 Fly for Buda. Those odds are in large part because of his last race but really are a joke. He should be about 6\/1 here. You have to love the prep for this race. Three weeks ago in a restricted stakes race on the turf at a longer distance and he won comfortably by four lengths. From a handicapping point of view you have two strong angles, turf to dirt and cutting back in distance. It is a very interesting and different approach. There are several older runners they have a real chance. Year of the Vote has had a good year but did he peak too soon with that huge race last time out? Silver Canuck has been hanging around the top runners here all year long. Wonderboy Cougar (IRE) has very good speed and has been real consistent this year. A couple of three year olds look just as good as their older counterparts. New Yorker and Travers winner Macho Niner has been very good of late. Eddie Haskell winner Squal Me Halo has really developed over the summer. \u00a0<\/SPAN> The wild card here could be <\/SPAN> <\/SPAN> We will have the pleasure of seeing quite possibly three or four of the top sim long turf horses ever and they will all be racing against each other. I\u2019m not sure there has ever been a field with this many grade I wins collectively. Allied Assault, Sunnybank Memorial, Rain God, and <\/SPAN> Allied Assault is the slight favorite on the morning line. He will be coming into the race off a layoff. That might be a concern on one hand. Usually runners off a layoff have less early speed than they normally would. Allied Assault has very little early speed anyway but you don\u2019t want to fall too far behind. On the other hand the old man is fresh, fresh, fresh. His late kick could be extra spicy this week. Sunnybank Memorial is riding a three race winning streak into the Breeder\u2019s Bowl. The last time he lost it was to Rain God. Sunnybank has been doing a good job of not letting the pace get too far away from him. He should be well positioned in the race, just far enough ahead of the deep closers and not too far off the pace. That could be the key to defending his title. Rain God is on a four race win streak. He has worked his stalking or front running ability to perfection. He has beaten Sunnybank Memorial on a couple of occasions and really holds a slight advantage because of his speed over his three main rivals. This race though has a couple of solid pace horses so Rain God will have to be careful not to get caught up in a quick pace. Race: 2657.0413 Breeders Bowl Distaff<\/SPAN> – Grade I – $2,000,000<\/SPAN><\/B> Squall is a Storm is set to defend her title here in the Distaff against a very good three year old filly class. She has had a couple of ups and downs since last year\u2019s Breeder\u2019s Bowl win. Meguire has done a good job getting her to this point. Her race two back was what she will need to hold off the younger fillies here and even that may not be good enough. One win in the last six months is not exactly a positive however she has been close in all her races. Glass Heart is another older filly but she is on fire. Two wins and a place in her last three, all in graded races with very fast speed figures. There is a lot to like in this lady including her stalking style of running. The two three year olds to watch out for are Swift Kick and Empire Reef. Swift Kick is the Bluegrass Oaks winner and has won two in a row. Swift Kick is every bit as fast as her older counterparts and looks to be sitting on a big race. Empire Reef won the Black Middle Flower and has proved to be one tough pace setter. She may not make the pace here but if she does look out she is very capable of wiring this field. This is a very deep field of fillies and mares. Turning Japanese destroyed the field in this race last year winning by six lengths. She has not been as dominate a horse as a four year old but do not over look her. A <\/SPAN> The three year olds have their work cut out for them. Devil\u2019s Slide had strung together four straight wins before finishing second last time out in the Flower Pot Stakes. In fact Devil\u2019s Slide has never been worse than second on turf. The distance could be a slight concern for her but until she shows she can not get the distance you can\u2019t count her out. The other top three year old is La Pata Daisy. She broke her maiden in her first start at three and has not looked back. She won five graded stakes in a row at one point four of those grade I races. Her speed figures have been slower than the others she faces here but she has also raced at longer distances. She should be capable of posing a serious threat to this field. This race is a pick em with just about all fourteen runners seeming capable of the win. I think speed and experience at the distance will be important. Casterly Rock (IRE) is some what of a long shot here but he looks great. He has won three of his last four and shows a very good deal of speed. He will likely be stalking the pace but will not be far off and looks as good as any of his older counterparts. One in a Million II is the favorite and has a bunch of speed. The thing I don\u2019t like is that he has just one race at this distance and it was a fifth place finish. He seems like a seven furlong specialist. He is speedy and in good form so I would not totally throw him out. Navy Man strung together three very impressive grade I wins in a row over the summer. He is another that might find the distance difficult. He comes from off the pace and has done better at seven furlongs. King of the Slews has run three hug races in a row and come up short each time. Those speed figures though will make him a factor here. Empire of the Sun is fresh off a grade I win at the distance. He has good speed and must be respected. Xtremely a Fan has shown he loves a mile. He is coming off back to back wins at this distance and has some of the best speed figures in the field. He is a closer and has a quick burst. He could be the closest thing to a lock on this big Breeder\u2019s Bowl card. His main rival Orange Swirl did not enter this week but the field has several that are sure to challenge Xtremely a Fan. Three year old Manifest Destiny showed his love for the mile last time out. He won in very impressive fashion stalking from just off the pace. He does appear to be fast enough to threaten the favorite but will need to improve of his last. <\/SPAN> Jolie\u2019s Halo has been running against the boys all summer. She has been competitive however she has just one win all year long. Magic Merlin is a perfect four for four life time. A win here in the Breeder\u2019s Bowl and the talk begins of a possible Triple Crown contender. Five for five and a Breeder\u2019s Bowl Juvenile win would be something very special. Rhibus was beaten for the first time last time out. He has put together two very good efforts over a mile and there is not reason to think he will not show up today. The speedy Koorawatha served Rhibus his first loss last time out. Koorawatha has the kind of running style that wins many of these type races. If he gets to the lead he could be very dangerous. \u00a0<\/SPAN>
