The Breeders’ Cup Classic picks will post tomorrow, but today’s posting of all the other 
races should be enough to cause my hanging once these all run in reverse order.
Race 4 | Juvenile Fillies: 1. Artemis Agrotera 2. Sweet Reason 3. Untapable.
Comment: Artemis Agrotera has room to improve still. Sweet Reason is the best shot to beat my pick. Untapable, like Artemis Agrotera, can improve as well.
Race 5 | Filly and Mare Turf: 1. Laughing 2. Dank 3. Tiz Flirtatius.
Comment: Says here Laughing will get a lonely lead and take them wire to wire. Dank and Tiz Flirtatious will be there if not.
Race 6 | Filly and Mare Sprint: 1. Dance to Bristol 2. Starship Truffles 3. Dance Card.
Comment: Looking for Dance to Bristol to rebound off the loss in the Gallant Bloom. Have to believe Starship Truffles has been pointed for this since her walk through the sales ring at Fasig-Tipton this summer. Dance Card should improve in second off the layoff.
Race 7 | Turf Sprint: 1. Caracortado 2. Boat Trip 3. Mizdirection.
Comment: Swinging for the fences in this race that will require multi-race bet players to go deep. Caracortado ran a big race in first off lengthy layoff and figures to improve and has advantageous post. Boat Trip has to be respected based off last. Mizdirection is compromised by the post. (Will use Reneesgotzip on all tickets as well as the three mentioned.)
Race 8 | Juvenile: 1. Havana 2. New Year’s Day 3. Strong Mandate.
Comment: Outside post might not be a big deal if Havana gets the lead anyway.
Race 9 | Turf: 1. The Fugue 2. Real Solution 3. Big Blue Kitten.
Comment: A three-pound benefit at 12 furlongs does nothing but help the filly who’d probably be the favorite anyway.
Race 10 | Sprint: 1. Secret Circle 2. Private Zone 3. Justin Phillip
Comment: Secret Circle looks to be back in old form. Justin Phillip would be the pick, but the rail has been a graveyard at Santa Anita.
Race 11 | Mile: 1. Wise Dan 2. Obviously 3. Silver Max.
Comment: The champion returns and repeats. My single in multi-race wagers.
Race 12 | Classic: Analysis to come in separate post tomorrow.
And, in full disclosure, you can look at my Saturday picks from last year.
