Mr. Ed’s Breeders’ Cup Picks:
TRACKING MR. ED: Day 1 of the Breeders’ Cup Championships packs a ton of action into five attractive betting opportunities. First post at Del Mar is 2:35 p.m. ET/11:35 a.m. PT. The Breeders’s Cup (Races 6-10) stakes program kicks off at 5:45 p.m. ET/2:45 p.m. PT. Here are Mr. Ed’s Day 1 Breeders’ Cup picks.
Mr. Ed’s Breeders’ Cup Picks for Friday, November 1
Race 6 (5:45 p.m. ET/2:45 p.m. PT) — G1 $1 Million BC JUVENILE TURF SPRINT for 2YOs going 5 furlongs
Mr. Ed likes #12 IDES OF MARCH (8-1 morning line) for superior British trainer Aidan O’Brian, who hires legendary rider Frankie Dettori. A pair of European wins in August position youngster for an outstanding effort on cutback from six furlongs. Should handle outside post.
DEL MAR PICK: $10 to Win & Place. ($20)
Races 6-10 (5:45 p.m. ET/2:45 p.m. PT) — ALL BREEDERS’ CUP PICK 5
R6: 2,5,7,9,10,12
R7: 2,3,9
R8: 1
R9: 1,5,10
R10: 11,14
DEL MAR PICK: $.50 PICK 5. ($54)
Race 7 (6:25 p.m. ET/3:25 p.m. PT) — G1 $2 Million BREEDERS’ CUP JUVENILE FILLIES for 2YOs going 11/16-mile
I like #3 IMMERSIVE (3-1 morning line) for tip-top trainer Brad Cox. Young gal is perfect 3-3 with Manny Franco aboard, including two in Grade 1 wins. What’s not to like? She gets better with every race.
BREEDERS’ CUP PICK: $20 to Win & $5 Exacta Box with 2,10. ($40)
Race 8 (7:05 p.m. ET/4:05 p.m. PT) — G1 $1 Million BREEDERS’ CUP JUVENILE FILLIES TURF for 2YOs going a mile
Mr. Ed’s BEST BET OF THE DAY is #1 LAKE VICTORIA (8-5 morning line) for top-shelf international connections of Aidan O’Brian and Ryan Moore. The young standout is perfect 4-4, poised to continue undefeated. Gal knows how to Win.
BREEDERS’ CUP PICK: $30 to Win. ($30)
Race 9 (7:45 p.m. ET/4:45 p.m. PT) — G1 $2 Million BREEDERS’ CUP JUVENILE for 2YO colts & geldings going 1 1/16-mile
I like three for the money: #1 EAST AVENUE (5-2 morning line) for trainer Brendan Walsh and Tyler Gaffalione riding; #5 JONATHAN’S WAY (9-2) with hot Phil Bauer outfit and Joel Rosario returning to the saddle, and #10 CHANCER MCPATRICK (3-1) for Chad Brown.
BREEDERS’ CUP PICK: $5 Exacta Box. ($30)
Race 10 (8:25 p.m. ET/5:25 p.m. PT) — G1 $ Million JUVENILE TURF for 2YOs going a mile
To conclude the first BC day, Mr. Ed’s betting on #11 NEW CENTURY (5-2 morning line) for trainer Andrew Balding with top international jockey Oisin Murphy. Coming back after first Group 1 score at Woodbine six weeks ago, repeat of colt’s 93 speed figure beats this field.
BREEDERS’ CUP PICK: $10 to Win & Place and $5 Exacta Box with 4,14. ($30)
TOTAL WAGERS: $204
