Breeders' Cup Friday - Early Picks

Hard to believe it BC time already. Seemed like just yesterday we were watching the Derby field walk to the starting gate. With the big weekend upon, here are some runners that you may want to take a look at before pulling the trigger. - The post draw is on Monday, October 27, 2025, and we'll be enjoying the best racing has to offer!

BC Juvenile Turf Sprint

The Euros love this 5f dash and they have dominated over the years. Also, don't discount runners coming off the lush grass at Keeneland.

True Love = Hails from the Aiden O'Brien yard and won a key prep in the Cheveley Park Stakes. Her domination is taking Europe by storm, and she'll jump right out sharp and dictate the pace in this sprint. She won the Gr2 Queen Mary defeating 22 other male and female runners.

Juvenile Fillies

Explora = Baffert-trained filly who should sit just off the pace and hit the gas as they turn for home. The final furlong will allow her to kick clear and draw away.

Juvenile Filly Turf

The hot players will come from Europe, Ireland, and Keeneland.

Time to Dream = Ran a troubled trip in the G2 Jessamine and clearly showed the promise that will have the Todd Pletcher barn glad they made the trip.

Juvenile

Intrepido = There is going to be plenty of early pace and this runner will pick them up and lay them down when the running gets real. He should be under the radar on the odds board and could reward at a handsome price.

Juvenile Turf

Euros who exit a Gr top finish rule the roost and they win 70% overall. Gosden, Applebee, and O'Brien come to the race loaded.

Gstaad = Aiden O'Brien comes into the race in the 1-2 spot the last five races. The fans will be using heavily in exotics so demand a square price.

There's a first taste, and after the draw we will reconvene to put pen to paper. - Be sure and download your Winning Ponies E-Z Win Forms. Marquee days bring out the big winners and Winning Ponies is ready to step up to the plate.
