GI Breeders’ Cup F/M Sprint – This is a tough race to feel overly strong about, but #8 MIA MISCHIEF (15-1) is worth a close look. She seems best suited to seven panels. While there’s plenty of other pace signed on, she did romp at Oaklawn in March from a stalking spot. Her best career effort came over track and trip and she doesn’t have to run much better than she did that day to take this.

GI Breeders’ Cup F/M Turf – Her form might not quite class up to a few of the other Euros, but #14 EZIYRA (IRE) (15-1) is interesting under these conditions. The 1 3/8-mile distance of this race seems like it could come into play, and she’s about as well suited to the trip as anyone. Plus she’s proven over yielding turf and she’s been pointing to this spot since her last start.

GI Breeders’ Cup Mile – The morning line on #12 ANALYZE IT(6-1) seems low, and hopefully it’ll be double that or so come post time. The Chad Brown trainee couldn’t have been much more brilliant in his first three starts–including one over yielding sod in April’s GIII Transylvania S. He was stretched out some after that, and was taken off his game a bit as he was asked to go slower early–he couldn’t quite finish off those races, albeit twice against the very talented Catholic Boy. He was wide and in a bad spot as the favorite facing a couple of these in the GI Shadwell Turf Mile, but hopefully his connections will handicap this race and see that a more aggressive approach could be highly effective.

GI Breeders’ Cup Classic#8 PAVEL (20-1) was cut out to be a very nice one since the beginning, and he ran a huge race to be third in last year’s GI Jockey Club Gold Cup at this distance while being leaned on throughout the stretch. He had a few rough trips after that, but put it all back together in the GI Stephen Foster H. here June 16. He was beaten a bunch by Accelerate last time, but if that one and a few others don’t show up with their best, he’s capable of springing the huge upset.
