00:00All right, well, it starts again, like we said, with the Breeders' Cup Classic.

00:07And we've gone over this race twice, so we're not going to deep dive it again.

00:10But we have the three City of Troy, the nine Fierceness, and the 14 next as our picks.

00:16And the second leg is race nine, the Breeders' Cup Philly and Mare Turf.

00:20We have three in here.

00:21We're going to go with the number two full count Felicia, 12 to 1 odd.

00:27So get a little bit of a price in here.

00:29And Tender, after winning that EP Taylor at Woodbine and beating Moira, like, we were

00:33both there that day.

00:35He was wearing that shirt, the same shirt that day.

00:39But you know, this is a good setup for her in this race, with being the pace setter in

00:42here without a lot of pace.

00:43And then Warlight Goddess as well, strongest closer in the field, likely the one to beat,

00:49seven-year-old Mare, who's run in this race multiple times, I think three years now.

00:55And Bill Montes knows how to have her in peak form.

00:59I think we have the three also in this one?

01:01The three as well.

01:02All right.

01:03Cinderella's Dream.

01:04You know, between her and Didia, I decided to put this one because, I mean, it's Charlie

01:10Appleby.

01:11His number is peak for himself, and I think she's going to run great.

01:16The third leg of the pick five is race 10, Breeders' Cup Sprint.

01:20We're using three in here, the six, 10, and 11.

01:22Roberto, tell us about the first two.

01:24The first six and the 10.

01:27My long shot.

01:28Your long shot.

01:29Roberto.

01:30I looked at what you sent me as picks.

01:31I was like, really?

01:32We're going to?

01:33But you know what?

01:34I will never talk someone off a 30-to-1.

01:35A big price, right?

01:36Never.

01:37I remember when I say the same thing about Caravelle, and people react the same way,

01:40and look at what happened with Caravelle.

01:41So maybe this will be my, this year, Caravelle.

01:44I'll talk you off a favorite, but never off a horse like that.

01:47No, never.

01:48I'll pick your car.

01:49I was going to say, I'll pick at you if you're going to eat the chalk and it's going to be

01:50a short price.

01:51Exactly.

01:52But a big price, you always take that swing, my friend.

01:53And I think in Mulligan, you have to include it.

01:56Yeah.

01:57I mean, he's, the year of the Flavian Pride he's having, I think he can close his Eclipsa

02:04Award this weekend.

02:05He's an up-and-coming sprinter, too, and I think, as you pointed out, of all the speed

02:09horses, he's the most likely that can sit off the picks because he's drawn to the outside,

02:13too.

02:14So that could really help him.

02:15Yep.

02:16We'll also use number 11.

02:17Skelly, 8-to-1 odds.

02:19Probably will be the leaders on the outside post with all that pace to the inside.

02:23That's not a bad spot to be.

02:24As you're talking, they're playing Isn't She Lovely.

02:26I am lovely.

02:28That's why I'm playing it for you.

02:29That's amazing.

02:30That's so nice of you.

02:31All right.

02:32Well, hopefully we're lovely enough to win this pick five.

02:36Race 11 is the Breeders' Cup mile.

02:39We're using two in here, the 7 and the 12.

02:42Recap the 7 for us.

02:43For a Fortuna, three great group one in a row, and I think that she's going to be huge.

02:50She's going to run huge this Saturday.

02:52Vote for Fortuna.

02:53Remember, my top pick in this race.

02:55His girl.

02:56He loves it.

02:57And then Carl Spackler, the number 12 is the other one in here from Chad Brown.

03:02He's a powerhouse.

03:04I said earlier, I think the best combination of both form and connections in this race

03:09has won 70% of her lifetime starts and has a rising form.

03:14And finally, race 12, the last race.

03:17The last race.

03:18Wrapping up a Breeders' Cup Saturday is the Dirt Mile, and we're going to use four in

03:23here.

03:24Spread out a little bit.

03:25The 1, 8, 9, and 14.

03:27Roberto, tell us about the 1 and the 9.

03:29Saudi Crown, you know, I think he recovers in the last race.

03:34He shows that.

03:35And I think it's a, you know, he deserves a chance.

03:38The 4-ranger rule, it is practice.

03:41And the number 9, like I say, this is the one that I like the most the whole weekend.

03:46Domestic product.

03:47The way that he looks, how he is, he has been running post-position.

03:53He has experience in 4-turn.

03:55Remember, the mile here at Del Mar, they need 2-turn.

04:00You know?

04:01So I think it's everything fit for him.

04:03Yep.

04:04And the last two on the ticket are the number 8 post-time trainer, Brittany Russell.

04:07Her husband, Sheldon Russell, will be riding.

04:09So it's a family affair, a versatile horse.

04:129 for 13 in his life.

04:14A value play with some proven consistency.

04:16And then number 14, Skippy Longstocking, 4-1 odds.

04:217 wins at graded stakes level with tactical speed and an improving pattern.

04:26So that is the late pick 5 on Breeders' Cup.
