California Dreaming! It’s a beautiful day down here in Southern California and I’m looking forward to heading over to the track to watch all 12 Breeders’ Cup races.

Horse of the Year honors are on the line and there are three races that could decide the winner: the Classic, the Distaff and the Sprint. If Fierceness wins the Classic, I believe he’ll win the award, but if he falters and Thorpedo Anna wins the Distaff, she would most likely capture the hardware.

What happens if neither wins their respective race? Well, there’s a speedster named Cogburn running in the Sprint who has won all three of his races this year in lights-out fashion and if he wins again and that above scenario transpires, he would have an outside shot of clutching the trophy.

Both Thorpedo Anna and Cogburn will be very short prices due to the weaker competition they’ll be facing, but Fierceness should be in the 3 to 1 range as a result of the stronger field he’ll be confronting. His last two races have been sensational and there still may be an incremental upside, therefore he’s my play.
