Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint

The Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint is a 14 horse scramble and I demand value in this race. #10 California Flag (15-1) jumps out on me while I am looking at the pp. California Flag set the Santa Anita course record in his last race while competing the 6 1/2f in 1:11 flat. The horse have won 2 in row and 3 of last 4, it is coming into the Turf Sprint at top form. His final work of 3f at 34 4/5 s was very sharp. The outside post is a disadvantage and he could get into a speed dual that setup for a closer.

Both Euro import #2 Fleeting Spirit (5-1) and #8 Diabolical (6-1) will be coming off the pace in this race. Fleeting Spirit has only ran in straight races in Europe and the sharp left turn could be adventurous for the talented 3 years old filly. Her best race was the Temple Stakes when she missed the break and won it by coming from behind. Diabolical is slowly coming back into top form after losing 5 in a row during the summer. In his last race, the 5 years old just missed to finish 2nd while beaten by a neck.

My longshot of the race is #7 Rouse the Cat. The former 10k claimer can complete the dream seasom by wining the $1 million Turf sprint.
