Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic

This should be the high point of your Friday…

Post	Horse	Trainer	Jockey	ML Odds
1.	Miss Match	Neil Drysdale	Garrett Gomez	10-1
Had bad luck when taking on the boys, but has talent.
2.	Pachattack	Gerard Butler	Rajiv Maragh	12-1
Super-impressive in her second-place Spinster finish; definitely my ‘wiseguy’ pick.
3.	It’s Tricky	Kiaran McLaughlin	Ramon Dominguez	5-1
Always a threat in this company; has mixed it up with many in this field.
4.	Satan’s Quick Chick	Jeff Odintz	Edgar Prado	30-1
Tough task here, but she likes to hit the board.
5.	Ask the Moon	Martin Wolfson	Javier Castellano	6-1
Has some impressive wins under her belt.
6.	Royal Delta	Bill Mott	Jose Lezcano	5-2
Second to Havre de Grace last time out – certainly no shame in that.
7.	Ultra Blend	Art Sherman	David Flores	8-1
Won her way in here, but is probably a notch below the best.
8.	Plum Pretty	Bob Baffert	Rafael Bejarano	2-1
A win here would wrap up a great year.
9.	Medaglia d’Amour	Ben Cecil	Pat Valenzuela	30-1
Seems better suited to G2 company. Update: scratched with a fever.
10.	Super Espresso	Todd Pletcher	John Velazquez	20-1
Has not won since May, but hast talent.

Predictions: Royal Delta, Plum Pretty, It’s Tricky, Ask the Moon
Longshot: Pachattack
