Possible Bankers

Juvenile Fillies Turf - Lake Victoria 1/1
Turf Sprint - Cogburn 15/10 - Isivungungu 25/1
Distaff - Thorpedo Anna 6/10 - I think she is the best bet on the two day card

Others getting mentions
Juvenile Turf Sprint - Ecoro Seig 5/1 - My confidence in japanese horses dented after Liberty Islands poor run over the week end.
Cup Mile - Johannes 14/1 - tremendous field again. But he has remarkable form this year.

Ylang Ylang scratched in Beach Bomb race - Beach Bomb 50/1

Breeders cup day 1 is finally here 
Lake Victoria Race 8 looks the best bet on the day 

Zulu kingdom eachway race 10 based purely on the name 

Best bet for me comes up in the breeders cup juvenile,  horse called Jonathan's way. 

Enjoy the pomp and sparkle!

Hey Chris lovely to hear from you my man

Two fantastic performances last night

Immersive for Godolphin and Lake Victoria for Coolmore and Frankel.

Isivunguvungu and beach bomb running a bit later , will be interesting 

Isivunguvungu runs now in very difficult race 
hot fav but believing my choice 

Very disappointing that his run was hampered, hope he is ok. Was hanging on at end before done in. Showed he is up to scratch with that sort of field though

Isivunguvungu given a shocking ride IMO. He was trying to pace it out with the fastest horse in America. This  horse is far better coming off a hot pace. 

But definitely shows he was up to that class and Hollywood should be proud of him .
