Breeders' Cup Mile

The Mile used to be the most exciting betting race of the entire Breeders' Cup card, it often produces a blanket finish. But with the addition of Turf sprint and dirt Mile, there are only 11 horse entered for this year's race.

I don't have a top choice in this race and most likely skipping it from a betting standpoint. #4 Goldikova( (3-1) is the stand out in this field but it is hard to bet her when she is 3-1 or lower. She has won 3 in a row and her last 2 are both Group 1. Her 2 lost this years was against the super filly Zarkava. If she can handle the firm group, she is much the best compare to the rest of the field.


#7 U S Ranger (15-1) seem to be a class below Goldikova when comparing their Euro form. But this year's Mile is one of the weakest in years and U S Ranger may just be good enough to take home the top price if Goldikova fails to fire.

#5 Daytona is very consistent and try hard ever time. # 6 Awesome Gem could also be a factor in this weak field.
