Winner of The Gr1 Derby De English and the Gr1 Sydney derby in the spring and summer Kirby’s Best Yet ran big in eastern Kentucky but still came up a bit short. He may be rounding back into form and the short field of ten just may show the respect that other trainers are showing this gr1 winner. <\/p>\n
Winner of 9 of 13 races and nearly 1.5 million Kirby’s Best Yet looks to hold the edge over this field if he can fire his best shot. Winner of his first 9 races, Kirby’s Best Yet was looking like legend material before hitting a bad streak of 4 straight defeats. His last race looks like he’s back on track and looking to take another Graded race.<\/p>\n
The competition will be listed in post position order.<\/p>\n
1. Kirby’s Best Yet *See Above* 5\/1<\/p>\n
2.Steel Giant racer W Farthing 9\/1<\/p>\n
Three year old son of Giants Causeway will be near the pace and trying to capture his first graded win. Improving with every race, he still seems to be in a bit tough. He struggled against gr3 competition but will move up at todays 12f. <\/p>\n
3.Nasujabr sabbath2 S Young 21\/1<\/p>\n
The three year old son of Aljabr seemed to have peaked this summer and with only two starts since July he seems to be up against it. Trained by sim legend sabbath you would think he would have received a little more attention. That would make me think that he has a few physical problems. <\/p>\n
4. Rainband (AUS) wolf T O’shea 4\/1<\/p>\n
This three year old son of Spinning World has been heavily raced with little problems. Yet to win a graded race he ran well three back in the g1 Arc de Triumph.
Seems to run best when a solid pace is present.<\/p>\n
5. Gold Doors crowbar j acobsson 7\/1<\/p>\n
This four year old son of Touch Gold has picked up his game at 4 years old but still looking for that gaded win. Likes the long distance and the surface and will surely show a presence if the pace is hot. <\/p>\n
6. Tet Of OZ (Ire) jacobsson P Ibrox 8\/1<\/p>\n
Seems a bit overraced and the distance seems a bit much for this guy. I’ve got good respect for the trainer but this would be a shocker. <\/p>\n
7. Total Chaos benttree M Mason 7\/1<\/p>\n
If this race was at 16f I would really like this guys but at 12f he has it a little tougher. That don’t mean he is without chance. Any horse with the bankroll of 2.8 million and winner of his last three of four races has a good chance against grade two competition. I think he’ll need a good pace for him to have his best chance. <\/p>\n
8. Kings Over Aces(IRE) attalag L Ratzlaff 4\/1<\/p>\n
This old war horse has been competitive at this distance but with thirty three races it seems that he may have peaked and this class seems to be a bit much. This is another horse that needs the pace to be a bit hot.<\/p>\n
9. Tete November (Ire) therion S Marts 10\/1<\/p>\n
This six year old son of Noverre seems to have hit a big wall. he has struggled all summer after a strong spring.
Would be a major upset. <\/p>\n
10. Kaziel Tete (GB) cyprus R Jenkins 8\/1<\/p>\n
This four year old son of Diesis seems to have peaked at the right time but the question is whether he is good enough at this level. Look for him to shake clear early and then try to carry it late. Lonshot<\/p>\n
My picks <\/p>\n
1. Kirby’s Best Yet
2. Rainband
3. Totoal Chaos <\/p>\n
Longshot: kaziel Tete <\/p>\n
