FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2
SPOT PLAYS
CHURCHILL DOWNS
Race 3
#3 Heavy Roller
His best distance is one mile and
when he had a chance to try a one-turn mile here at Churchill Downs two races
ago, it resulted in perhaps his best career race, at least from a speed figure
perspective, running second in a key race where both the winner and third-place
finisher both exited to win their next races. Beats these with a similar effort,
and the 10-1 morning line odds look like a strong overlay.
Race 8
#4 Forty Under
Plus play exacta box w/ #5 Line of Duty
#4 Forty Under is already 2-for-2 in grass route races,
first with the maiden win at Saratoga and then with a victory in his stakes
debut last time in the Pilgrim at Belmont over Somelikeithotbrown. Handles any
kind of turf condition. Still has room for further improvement but might hot
even need any to win this race.
Play in exacta box with #5 Line of Duty, who is the most
attractive of the foreign invaders in this race, who are always dangerous in
the Juvenile Turf at the Breeders’ Cup. Never been worse than second in four
career starts including two wins in a row in the last two races including a big
easy Group 3 stakes win in France. Invades with first-time Lasix and a Breeders’
Cup experienced jockey and is a huge bargain at 10-1 odds on the morning line.
