Your Favorites to win the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Classic
Who’ll you take?
That’s exactly what most bettors are contemplating about these days heading to the 2009 Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships.
And as far as the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita is concerned, horse racing enthusiasts can look at the top three favorites to win it all over the weekend. The question is, who should they take come raceday?
First we have Zenyatta, who is listed as the favorite with 7/2 odds. The 2008 Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic winner, is expected to start in the 1 1/4 mile race on Santa Anita’s synthetic track in an effort to get her named 2009 Horse of the Year.
Zenyatta has been the favorite in her last nine races and she’s never gone farther than a mile and an eighth. Zenyatta likes Santa Anita’s main track and it looks like she actually might thrive going a mile and a quarter.
Then we have Rip Van Winkle, who carries a 4-1 record in his career. The colt holds two wins in 2009, taking the Sussex Stakes and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. Rip Van Winkle has been the favorite only twice in eight career starts. He also will be running on a synthetic surface for the first time, so there will be bettors who have reservations about him on the surface.
Belmont Stakes and Travers champ Summer Bird should be the third choice for sports bettors. With each Grade One win, Summer Bird is getting more and more respect. Summer Bird won the Jockey Club Gold Cup as the 6-5 favorite, it was the first time he’s ever been the favorite. Summer Bird is a stallion and is the 2009 Belmont Stakes winner.
He finished sixth in the 2009 Kentucky Derby.
Zenyatta, Rip Van Winkle and Summer Bird are your ‘big three’ as far as 2009 Breeders’ Cup Classic wagering is concerned. Who will take the richest price in North American sports this year? There’s only one way to find out.
