For this Saturday, November 2 article, Jeff Siegel shares everything you need to know for today’s Breeders’ Cup racing card at Del Mar.

Race 7: Post: 2:01 PT Grade: A-
Prime Play: 5-Jayarbe

Forecast: Jayarbe is a rapidly developing 3-year-old colt from France with the likelihood of continuing his improving pattern in this year’s renewal of the BC Turf. He shows two superb victories in his last three starts, with a strong runner-up effort behind top-class Economics sandwiched in between, and he brings with him Timeform Ratings that continue to rise and are good enough to beat this field. In a race that projects to have a soft early pace, the son of Zoffany should inherit a cozy stalking early position, just galloping along, and then take control when given his cue entering the lane.

RACE 11: Post: 4:45 PT Grade: B+
Prime Play: 6-Notable Speech (GB)

Forecast: Notable Speech (GB) is another firm ground specialist seeking to regain his winning form over the pool top table Del Mar grass course, and if he brings the same type of acceleration that he did when winning the English 2000 Guineas and the Sussex S.-G1 earlier this year the British-bred son of Dubawi should outclass this field. The C. Appleby-trained sophomore and world-class jockey W. Buick make a marvelous team, and from a comfortable 6-hole draw, this Godolphin homebred should have no excuses.
