2011 Breeders’ Cup Turf tips and preview

There are some fantastic races taking place at this year's Breeders' Cup meeting and there is some great bets to be had at Churchill Downs.
There are some fantastic races taking place at this year's Breeders' Cup meeting and there is some great bets to be had at Churchill Downs.

We turn to Saturday’s spellbinding card for the best of this weekend’s Breeders’ Cup bets and SEA MOON (4/1,bet365) can strike in the Breeders’ Cup Turf (20.45 GMT).

In recent years there have been some top class horses turned over in this race and the likes of Behkabad, Hurricane Run, Montjeu and Pistolet Bleu are all proof that European form doesn’t always stack up on the other side of the pond.  That being said, it would be a huge shock if one of the European raiders doesn’t win this year’s renewal and Sea Moon looks the one to be on in 2011.

Sir Michael Stoute has endured a poor season in light of his high standards and without a single Group or Grade One success under his belt; he will be hoping that Sea Moon is ready to turn the tables on Saturday.

The selection looked a colt of the highest order when he powered to a scintillating victory in the Great Voltigeur at York in August and the lightly raced son of Beat Hallow was sent off a short priced favourite for this year’s St Leger. 

Despite finishing well, a poor ride and a whole lot of trouble in running meant he could only finish third behind Masked Marvel and we certainly didn’t see the real Sea Moon at Doncaster.

He looks to have strong claims in this race and he looks exactly the type of horse that Stoute excels with as time goes on.  He is sure to have come on leaps and bounds since his defeat in Group One company in September and it is about time he started to deliver on his undoubted potential.

Of course the bet comes with risks attached and the tight circuit and short run for home will be a huge negative if there isn’t genuine pace in the race.  Sea Moon’s followers will be hoping that one of the Ballyodyle brigade, St Nicholas Abbey or Await The Dawn, are forced to make the pace otherwise the race could turn into the farce that the selection will be looking to avoid.  If the pace isn’t strong and they crawl through the opening stages of the Group One showpiece, the wise money would be on Sarafina who possesses an admiral turn of foot off any gallop.
