Activities that we are covering start with the Twilight Derby, a Gr 2 over 1800m on the turf.
Nolde heads the Morning Line on 7/2 with Neptune's Story on 4/1 and Kindly on his home track is value on 5/1.
The BC F&M Sprint over 1400m is Gr 1 with 9 runners. Covfefe holds the call on 2/1 with Come Dancing 5/2 and we like Spiced Perfection on 4/1.
The Turf Sprint G1 is over 1000m on the turf and it looks like being between the speedy Totally Boss and Eddie Haskell both around 4/1 so it is quite an open race with Pure Sensation on 10/1.
The BC Dirt Mile is an interesting race with horses coming from far and wide. Short priced fav is at home here – Omaha Beach on 8/5 with another local Improbable on 3/1. Two of interest although not really expected to challenge are the Korean runner Blue Chipper on 20/1 – the first time Korea has had a runner in the Breeders' Cup, and English runner Ambassadorial who came third in one of the Korean Internationals in September.
The BC F&M Turf is Gr 1 over 2000m with 12 to run. Sistercharlie is almost a cert here and is on 8/5. There are several around 7/1 including the O'Brien runner Fleeting with Ryan Moore on board. The stablemate Just Wonderful is on 20/1 and has William Buick on board.
The BC Sprint G1 for 3y+ is over 1200m and Steve Asmussen's Mitole looks a stand-out here – 9/5. Catalina Cruising and Imperial Hint are on 4/1. Japanese runner Matera Sky is on 30/1.
The BS Mile Gr 1 on turf has 14 runners and here the raiders look good with O'Brien's Circus Maximus on 3/1. Got Stormy is useful and is on 7/2, and Chad Brown's Uni is on the same mark.
The BC Distaff Gr 1 has 11 runners and topping the bill the lovely Midnight Bisou on 6/5. There's a few around 6/1 – Paradise Woods, the Argentinian-bred Blue Prize and Dunbar Road.
The BC Turf is over 2400m and Bricks And Mortar has done nothing wrong to date – he won the Pegasus in January and scored several other wins up to and including the Arlington Million. The raiders have a good chance with Anthony van Dyck on 3/1 and Old Persian on 4/1. Our roughie here is Channel Maker on 10/1.
And finally the Classic over 2000m, unfortunately without Magical. McKinzie has been up there with the best of them right through his career and a win here would be well deserved. We have always liked the handsome Vino Rossi and not just for his name – he and Code of Honor are on 4/1, and don't ignore Elate and Yoshida on 6/1.
