Breeders Bowl’s $750,000 Grade 1 Marathon drew 14 top class stayers looking to add this jewel to their caps.\u00a0 A very contentious race, any of these horses could get the job done. These talented colts and fillies will face off Friday November, 2nd<\/sup> in Kentucky at 2:00 PM over the grueling Mile and Three Quarters distance (although many have run farther). This race will be great to watch.<\/p>\n

    At first glance it would seem 14 furlongs is shorter than this gelding would prefer however two of his three tries at this distance have produced the speed figure of 114.\u00a0 He has only beat these figures once which was in a G1 over 16 furlongs so 14 panels seems well liked.\u00a0 He is coming out of the 16 furlong G1 Seattle Stayer which he won by four.\u00a0 You have to go back to August of 2017 to find a race with a speed figure less than 100 for this talented gelding.\u00a0 With only one off the board finish on dirt he should be tough to beat.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Steadily improving colt is consistent and coming out of the 12 furlong Grade 3 Fall Championship where he ran second with a 112 speed figure. Only having run 14 furlongs once in the Grade 1 Big Apple, he performed well with a solid second.\u00a0 This colt has the talent if he can get the distance at this level.\u00a0 His single attempt was strong but will have to run better than a 107 to get the job done.\u00a0 This horse is the co-favorite and if it was at the 12 furlongs it would be expected, here distance is a concern.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Consistently this colt has been to the winner circle.\u00a0 More than half of his races have resulted in wins.\u00a0 The catch is these races have been almost exclusively at the allowance level.\u00a0 He answered the class questions resoundingly last out galloping away with the Grade 1 Muddy Waters Leg 1, posting a 114. This colt deserves the respect and if he improves again he is absolutely a threat, being relatively untested. Dangerous.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    A scratch bred, lightly raced 6 year old, this colt has only had three starts this year.\u00a0 While he has not run much he has also not raced at any distance other than 14 furlongs since 2016.\u00a0 He has won three stakes over this distance, one being a Grade 2.\u00a0 He could be dangerous in here and is happy the dirt is dry.\u00a0 He has been off almost 6 months and while he runs well fresh this is a big big ask.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    This brown colt prefers the 14 furlongs or longer but has been less consistent as of late.\u00a0 Coming out of the 12 furlong Mine Trader Stakes where he wan 6th<\/sup> and before that the 14 furlong Razorback Route found him 3rd<\/sup>.\u00a0 This is another colt that wishes it would rain.\u00a0 The distance is in his wheelhouse and he has the ability, the question is whether or not he is returning to form or on his way out.\u00a0 As the lukewarm co-favorite he is not to be discounted.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    This filly is coming out of the 16 furlong Grade 1 Scottsdale Stayer where she ran a strong second with a 112 speed figure.\u00a0 She likes the 14 furlong distance where she had won four races, three of them graded. She seems to streak then have a cold period, which she may be in now, although the second to last out was a good effort.\u00a0 She has never run more than a 112 speed figure but she is lightly raced and can improve. This will be her first time facing the boys, so she is in tough.\u00a0 There are lots of questions to be answered with this filly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    This streaking filly has a lot of talent and will take on the boys for (almost) the first time.\u00a0 Her last race was a soft prep in a hot race against the boys (though not competition for her by any means).\u00a0 Having only lost one race this year she is very hot right now.\u00a0 She defeated her fellow mare CONNECT THE SPOTS in the Scottsdale Stayer.\u00a0 With cutting back to 14 furlongs and facing tougher competition there is still a couple questions but she is absolutely a serious threat.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    This race is highly competitive with an outstanding group at the top of their division.\u00a0 With a field as well matched as this appears to be I always like to look for some value.\u00a0 As such I think my picks for the Marathon will be:\u00a0 14 – 10 – 5 – 7<\/p>\n

    Congratulations to all breeders and trainers who have a horse in this fantastic field. Good luck and safe trips!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
