Not sure how many out there have reviewed the sheets yet, but in looking at the Breeders Cup Classic, just wondering how any thorograph user can bet against Ghostzapper. If you put any validity into the numbers, he looks faster than the rest by a margin. Pleasantly Perfect either doesn't like Delmar or has the "Post-Dubai" flu and looks like a great bet against in the exotics.
I guess the Frankel not performing in the Breeders Cup is the angle to bet against Ghostzapper or perhaps the 1 1/4 distance since he is a full to City Zip and both distance races with the huge figures were not true distance races (Monmouth carries speed and the track was sloppy, while the Woodward is 1 turn).
Just looking at the race, I see Roses in May out there setting the pace, pressed by Funny Cide, with Ghostzapper sitting a comfortable third. Approaching the far turn Castellano says "go" and he sweeps right by those two and I don't see anybody coming to get him. The race has more closers/plodders than true speed horsss and stalkers, so not only is Ghostzapper the fastest horse by a lot, but also figures to get a soft trip, barring stupidity from Castellano.
Anybody else look at the race yet?
