12 Furlongs Turf\/2400 Metres 3yo+ Group 1 $3,000,000.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s that time of year again and what an exciting time of year it is. We have just had the Melbourne Cup run in Australia now we turn attention to the BB. Magnificent field of horses lined up for this event with all except one runner having won a G1 race already. Let\u2019s take a look at the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4yo gelding with nice record of 16-7-4-1 and banking $1.1 million. Form is very good of late and should vie for the early lead. Last start he was 3rd<\/sup> in the G1 Canada Turf 12F<\/strong>. Led by over 7 lengths early. Still led by nearly 7 lengths on the turn but was run down the last furlong, beaten just over 3 lengths with an SP of 118. Prior to that he won the G2 Polish Damsire 12F<\/strong>. Sat 2nd<\/sup> around 1 length from the lead. Took over by just under a length on the turn and kicked clear the last furlong to win easily by 4 lengths with an SP of 119. Before that he was 2nd<\/sup> in the Sarahs Blues Turf Stayer 11.5F. Led by nearly 3 lengths early. Led by nearly 5 lengths on the turn but just tired the last furlong, beaten nearly 3 lengths with an SP of 114. Last 2 runs have him in contention here. If he can repeat those he will be there at the end. Will be interesting to see if he tries to lead or take a sit. Chance<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Johnny Westin<\/strong> \u2013 42621 \u2013 (Gleneagles \u2013 Dynaformer) Owned by lenny2 \u2013 Jockey – L. Radzinski 11\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4yo colt with nice record of 18-6-6-1 and banking $1.3 million. Form has been good of late and comes from strong stable. Last start he won the G1 Classic Turf Stakes 12F<\/strong>. Sat 2nd<\/sup> around 5 lengths from the early speed. Still 2nd<\/sup> around 2 lengths off them on the turn but finished strongly the last furlong to win by nearly 2 lengths with an SP of 112. Prior to that he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 Purchased Race for Stockswami 12F Polytrack<\/strong>. Sat 5th<\/sup> around 4 lengths from the lead. Moved to 2nd<\/sup> only \u00bd length off them on the turn and stayed on well the last furlong, beaten 2.5 lengths with an SP of 111. Before that he was 6th<\/sup> in the Shouldn\u2019t Matter Turf Stayer 11.5F<\/strong>. Sat 3rd<\/sup> around 7.5 lengths from the lead. Still 3rd<\/sup> around 8 lengths off them on the turn and just faded late, beaten 7 lengths with an SP of 107. Last start was his first G1 win. Sits off a strong speed here and should be strong late. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. La Playa Bueno<\/strong> \u2013 11122 \u2013 (Beach Patrol \u2013 Smart Strike) Owned by mtk2013 \u2013 Jockey – M. Kelly 5\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5yo horse and with terrific record of 19 starts \u2013 19-8-7-2 $4.6 million. Very smart horse who knows the distance well having raced 10 times over 12F winning 3 times. Last start he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 G.P. Von Baden 12F<\/strong>. Sat 7th<\/sup> early around 13 lengths from the lead. Was 5th<\/sup> around 7 lengths off them on the turn and rallied late to be beaten 2.5 lengths with an SP of 116. Prior to that he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 Saint Cloud Grand Prix 12F<\/strong>. Sat 5th<\/sup> around 11 lengths from the early lead. Was 4th<\/sup> around 9 lengths off them on the turn and ran home well the last furlong, beaten just over 2 lengths with an SP of 113. Before that he won the G1 Sand Castle Golden Turf Classic 12F<\/strong>. Sat 7th<\/sup> around 12.5 lengths from the lead. Moved to 4th<\/sup> around 8 lengths off them on the turn and came home very strongly the last furlong to win by \u00bd a length with an SP of 119. Racing so consistently and hard to leave him out of calculations. Has a huge chance to add to his tally of 2 G1 wins. Big threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Westpac Emporer<\/strong> \u2013 31181 \u2013 (Fastnet Rock \u2013 Galileo) Owned by mastermbp \u2013 Jockey – K. Ledwith 11\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4yo colt with nice record of 15-7-2-3 and banking $1.6 million. Form has been terrific if you forgive his run 2 back. Last start he won the G1 Expensive Jalopy 12F<\/strong>. Led by 2 lengths early. Extended the lead to over 3 lengths on the turn and was very strong to the line to win by nearly 3 lengths with an SP of 108. Prior to that he was 8th<\/sup><\/strong> in<\/strong> the G1 King Geoff and Queen Beth Emerald Stakes 12F. <\/strong>Sat 2nd<\/sup> around 2.5 lengths from the lead. Dropped to 4th<\/sup> around 2 lengths off them on the turn and struggled the last furlong, beaten nearly 15 lengths with an SP of 109. Before that he won the G1 Milan Grand Prix 12F<\/strong>. Sat 2nd<\/sup> around 2 lengths from the lead. Took over on the turn by 1.5 lengths and was very strong the last furlong to win by 3 lengths with an SP of 118. Don\u2019t know if he can lead here and that may be a problem. Should get a nice run off the hot speed but the last furlong is the test. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Iconigold <\/strong>\u2013 29167 \u2013 (Sixties Icon \u2013 Seeking the Gold) Owned by cbextra91 \u2013 Jockey – N. Gardner 9\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5yo horse with a nice record of 22-9-2-3 and banking $4.1 million. Form has been down his last 2 starts and looking to bounce back here. Last start he was 7th<\/sup> in the G1 Canada Turf 12F<\/strong>. Sat 8th<\/sup> around 19 lengths from the early lead. Still 8th<\/sup> on the turn around 19.5 lengths off them and only plodded the last furlong, beaten 17.5 lengths with an SP of 106. Prior to that he was 6th<\/sup> in the G1 Sword Swallower Stakes 12F<\/strong>. Sat 12th<\/sup> around 18 lengths from the lead.

Before that he won the G1 Grand Brazillian 12F<\/strong>. Sat 10th<\/sup> around 18 lengths off the lead. Moved to 9th<\/sup> around 12.5 lengths off them on the turn but came with a withering burst the last furlong to win easily by 2.5 lengths with an SP of 115. He will need to improve off his last few runs and will be a mile back with the early speed here. Should be charging late and has a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Fifty Guns<\/strong> \u2013 11211 \u2013 (Golden Horn \u2013 Lemon Drop Kid) Owned by xpansion5 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 W. Cahill 9\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4yo gelding with a terrific record of 18-9-6-0 and banking $1.4 million. Super consistent gelding who last raced over 12F as a 3yo finishing 2nd<\/sup> in a stakes race. Last start he won the G3 Ark Trial 11F.<\/strong> Led early by nearly 8 lengths. Still 7.5 lengths in front on the turn and although tiring late, held on to win by \u00bd length with an SP of 117.

Before that he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 Man of War Stakes 11F<\/strong>. Led by 7.5 lengths early. Still 6 lengths in front on the turn and was only run down the last 50 yards, beaten a nose with an SP of 114. Has pace galore and should lead these for fun. Has been opening up big leads in his races and if he can do that here he may be hard to run down. Last furlong may be the issue but has a big chance here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Love Awaits<\/strong> \u2013 12422 \u2013 (Frankel \u2013 Dubawi) Owned by andermanis \u2013 Jockey – P. Bangs 8\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4yo colt with great record of 19-7-7-1 and banking $3.2 million. Has been very consistent of late and looks a threat. Last start he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 Roberto Clemente 10F<\/strong>. Sat 5th<\/sup> around 9 lengths from the early lead. Moved to 3rd<\/sup> around 7.5 lengths off them on the turn and ran home well the last furlong, beaten nearly 3 lengths with an SP of 114.

Moved to 10th<\/sup> still 13 lengths off them on the turn and ran home really well the last furlong, beaten 3.5 lengths with an SP of 110. Last few runs indicate he is looking for this trip. Should be running on with the pace in the race and has a big chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Ice Spike<\/strong> \u2013 31512 \u2013 (Tapit \u2013 Galileo) Owned by crackpot \u2013 Jockey – M. Zeus 36\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only 3yo colt in the field with record of 8-2-2-1 and banking $1.9 million. Been in good form of late and his last run suggests he is up to these. Last start he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 Ark De Comicdog 12F (Good)<\/strong>. Sat 4th<\/sup> around 2 lengths from the early lead. Took over by a length on the turn and battled away well the last furlong, beaten just over a length with an SP of 114. Prior to that he won the G2 Great Volt 12F<\/strong>.

Moved to 11th<\/sup> around 7 lengths off them on the turn and ran home okay the last furlong, beaten 5.5 lengths with an SP of 100. Nearly caused a boilover last start and he is the new kid on the block. Have not seen the bottom of him yet and could cause the upset here. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. A Hot Mess<\/strong> \u2013 25421 \u2013 (Galileo \u2013 Dynaformer) Owned by stormborn2 \u2013 Jockey – Q. Cassell 8\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5yo horse with nice record of 22-8-6-2 and banking $2.4 million.

Sat 2nd<\/sup> around 2 lengths from the lead. Grabbed the front on the turn by \u00bd length but couldn\u2019t hold off the closers going down by 2.5 lengths with an SP of 112. Adaptable on both surfaces. Should sit off a hot pace here and be strong late, can he hold off the closers. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. Sometimes Evil<\/strong> \u2013 24120 \u2013 (Deep Impact \u2013 Montjeu) Owned by texasace \u2013 Jockey – F. Gossett 8\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5yo horse with nice record of 22-9-4-2 and banking $4.6 million. Forgive last run in the Arc on a wet track which he clearly didn\u2019t handle. Had been fairly consistent prior. Last start he was 13th<\/sup> in the G1 Ark De Comicdog 12F (Good Track)<\/strong>. He was 18th<\/sup> around 20 lengths from the early lead. Moved to 17th<\/sup> around 20 lengths off them on the turn and only plodded home the last furlong, beaten 17.5 lengths with an SP of 101.

Before that he won the G2 Princess of Whales 12F<\/strong>. Sat 4th<\/sup> around 8 lengths off them early. Moved to 3rd<\/sup> around 4 lengths off them on the turn and rounded them up quickly the last furlong to win easily by 5.5 lengths with an SP of 116. Forgive the poor run last start on an off track and he has been racing very well. Has to be included as a big chance in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 11. Downdraft<\/strong> \u2013 12913 \u2013 (Galileo \u2013 Kingmambo) Owned by malekfarms \u2013 Jockey \u2013 H. Harzheim 7\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5yo horse with great record of 19-7-2-3 $2.8 million. Another horse who has been racing very well over the 12F. Last start he was 3rd<\/sup> in the G1 Ark De Comicdog 12F<\/strong> (Good Track). He settled 12th<\/sup> around 9.5 lengths from the early lead. He was still 9th<\/sup> around 6 lengths off them on the turn and battled on well the last furlong, beaten nearly 3 lengths with an SP of 113. Prior to that he won the G1 G.P. Von Baden 12F (beating La Playa Beuno 2nd<\/sup>)<\/strong>. Sat 6th<\/sup> around 11 lengths from the lead.

Moved to 9th<\/sup> around 9 lengths off them on the turn but struggled the last furlong, beaten nearly 15 lengths with an SP of 109. The old saying forgive a good horse one bad run rings true here. He won and placed in two G1 efforts since the poor showing in the Emerald and he should be finishing strongly here. Strong chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12. Eight Hundred Feet<\/strong> \u2013 06116 \u2013 (Tavistock \u2013 Deep Impact) Owned by xpansion91 \u2013 Jockey – D. Evans 17\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4yo colt and the second of the stables entrants here. Record 20-9-5-1 and banking $862K. The only non-millionaire in the race. Has been racing well taking out his blemishes on off tracks.

Sat 4th<\/sup> around 3 lengths from the lead. Took over by a neck on the turn and raced clear the last furlong to win by 2.5 lengths with an SP of 111. Before that he won a Local Championship Stakes in NZ 11F<\/strong>. Sat 3rd<\/sup> around 5 lengths from the lead. Moved to 2nd<\/sup> around 2 lengths off them on the turn and raced clear the last furlong to win by 2 lengths with an SP of 113. Has been very solid of late and has a chance in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 13. Who Warned you<\/strong> \u2013 23150 \u2013 (Street Sense \u2013 Dansili) Owned by wfstables3 \u2013 Jockey – W. Kewmwa 10\/1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5yo horse with nice record of 23-10-5-1 and banking $5.6 million. Form had been good before last start failure however that was on a wet track which he clearly didn\u2019t appreciate. Last start he was 18th<\/sup> in the G1 Ark De Comicdog 12F (Good)<\/strong>. Sat 15th<\/sup> around 12 lengths from the early lead. Dropped to 16th<\/sup> around 17 lengths off them on the turn and continued to regress from there, beaten nearly 27 lengths with an SP of 94. Prior to that he was 5th<\/sup> in the G1 Windy City Turf Classic 10F<\/strong>. Sat 11th<\/sup> around 10.5 lengths from the lead.

Before that he won the G1 Eclipsed Stakes 10F<\/strong>. Sat 11th<\/sup> around 6 lengths from the lead. Moved to 2nd<\/sup> around 4 lengths off them on the turn and finished best the last furlong to win by \u00bc of a length with an SP of 119. Likes the distance and forgive last run. He shouldn\u2019t be as far back as some and looks a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Such a tough race to sort out a winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Going with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Johnny Westin – 11\/1 – Should settle just off the speed and be strong the last furlong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Love Awaits – 8\/1 – Should get a nice run and be strong at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 11. Downdraft – 7\/1 – Another who should be suited by the hot speed. Will be coming on strongly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Breeders Bowl Turf \u2013 Kentucky Saturday November 5 @ 3:00pm. 12 Furlongs Turf\/2400 Metres 3yo+ Group 1 $3,000,000.00.
