At least LARRY'S PICKS thinks he can overcome the far outside!
“BESSEMER TRUST BREEDERS’ CUP JUVENILE”
1 1/16TH MILES ON DIRT FOR 2 YR OLD COLTS/GELDINGS ($2 M)
1ST - WICKED STYLE 9-1 JOCKEY – ROBBY ALBARADO
Solid midwest connections campaign this colt by MACHO UNO, the 2000 Juvenile champion. At 3-3 over the synthetic polytrack surface including the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity last out, he comes in as the leading money earner in the field. He drew widest of all but if he breaks sharply he may be prominently placed throughout and prove best of this competitive bunch at a decent price.
2ND - WAR PASS 7-2 JOCKEY – CORNELIO VELASQUEZ
This son of 1994 BC Sprint champion CHEROKEE RUN, had everything his own way in “wiring” the Grade 1 Champagne field last out. The likely pacesetter again, he could be very dangerous if allowed an uncontested lead, especially if it comes up wet!
3RD - SLEW’S TIZNOW 16-1 JOCKEY – JULIEN LEPAROUX
Sired by 2 time Classic winner TIZNOW, this colt ran on well for 2nd in the Breeders’ Futurity last out but he has been beaten by each of my top 2 picks. Super work on 10-22-07 suggests he’ll run well again and he should get a piece of this purse!
“SAVER” - PYRO 11-1 JOCKEY – SHAUN BRIDGEMOHAN
Huge late run to be 2nd behind WAR PASS in the Champagne, he may appreciate the stretchout more than some others in here.
