Most Likely BC winner
Now that pre-entries are out, I am curious who people think is the single most likely Breeder's Cup race winner on the card?
Last year seemed much easier. Groupie Doll and Royal Delta seemed like locks. Wise Dan seemed very likely. All won as useful singles. This year is much harder. All three of the above come in off a loss and see much less invincible. What is your early single? Paul

Wise Dan is easily the best single. His race last time was far more impressive then people giving him credit for, being wide the entire race, against a loose lead short stretch cluster**** of a race.
At the very least, the loss will hopefully make people spread a little more in that race, when nothing is needed besides him.

My 'Lahudood' selection of 2013 is My Conquistadory in the Juvy Filly Turf.

Babies dicey as 'most likely', but Chad Brown's J-Turf/JF-Turf runners sure look imposing: Bobby's Kitten & Testa Rossi..

For me personally, none of the Juv races get any action. Breeders Cup races are hard enough, don't need another wrinkle on a day with plenty of other opportunities

Looking at the main track juveniles, who you'd expect to generally be more of a concern than the turf runners, last year saw Shanghai Bobby take the boys as the 3-2 favorite and top choices Beholder (4-1)-Executiveprivlege (3-2) run 1-2.. so 'form' certainly held.

I've been saying this for the past couple of weeks... there are very few "standouts" (I use that term loosely) this year.

Distaff - Royal Delta or Princess of Sylmar are going to win Classic - If Game on Dude breaks on top he is going to win FM Turf - Dank looks serious to me Juvenile - Havana looks like a standout on paper, Tap it Rich has talent Sprint - I dont think you have to look further than Pointsoffthebench or Private Zone I dont count the other pretend races as real BC races, but in the main event races I dont think it looks that competitive (though I will still bet some overylays) I suppose in the classic one could take the view it could totally melt down, but on paper, there is a true standout.

With big fields over a one-mile main track and a 7F turf course, isn't it almost impossible to make any pronouncement of a "most likely winner" until post positions are drawn?
