Chasing the American Dream – 2009 Breeders’ Cup Tips

All eyes on Santa Anita for this weekend's tips

Two great days racing from the sun-drenched Los Angeles suburb of Santa Anita involving a typically strong European challenge are just around the corner, and to celebrate I’ll be enjoying the LA weather from the comfort of the somewhat more inclement surroundings of Doncaster.

Put the violin away though and get stuck in to to the best bets across the 14 race card.

Racing UK and At the Races are showing the whole thing, and on Friday night I can pass on a strong word for American trainer Jonathan Sheppard’s four year old filly Informed Decision in the Filly & Mare Sprint over seven furlongs on the Pro-Ride surface (11.02pm).

Sandown & Haydock – Eclipse Day Tips – Look for the value in Mirrored‏

Sweltering conditons and the 48 hour declaration of Guineas and Derby hero Sea The Stars means they’ll be packing into Sandown Park on Saturday afternoon for what looks set to be a top notch card at the Esher venue.

Sandown has to be one of my favourite tracks be it on the Flat or over the sticks – you can pretty much guarantee a decent crowd for the better days, the racing tends to be well above average, the facilities are in good nick and the viewing is excellent. That said they do have very excitable car park attendants, but you can’t have it all…..

Coral sponsor their big day on the level and have cleverly come up with some catchy new race titles for the afternoon’s action; of particular interest is the Coral Challenge Handicap over a mile at 2.40pm.

O’Brien Looks Primed to Rip Apart Dewhurst Rivals

It’s all systems go for the penultimate big weekend of the domestic Flat season, and with HQ preparing to stage a cracking Champions Day card, it’s no surprise to see Rip Van Winkle a warm order favourite to give trainer Aidan O’Brien yet another Group 1 success in the Dewhurst.

While there’s no doubt this son of Galileo needs to improve on what we’ve seen in two unbeaten starts at the Curragh & Leopardstown, the vibes from Ballydoyle are that this is among the very best of their crop of youngsters, and will be a key player in their assault on the 2009 Classics.

Rock Of Gibraltar won this event for O’Brien in 2001, and the firms are understandably trying to dodge the bullet this time around, with Coral offering 11/8, the best in the village about Rip Van Winkle emulating that feat at the time of writing.

Factor in the doubts about some of his major rivals for Saturday’s contest, and the argument for an investment becomes all the more compelling, although I’ll also be keeping an eye on Brian Meehan’s Delegator, known to have been working like a massively improved horse since winning at Newmarket, and I’ll be angling to milk a bit more profit from the race with a reverse forecast to provide a bit of insurance.
