Breeders’ Cup Classic 2022: Time To Talk About Taiba, And His Chances Against The Big Boys

Taiba is the fourth favorite in the Keeneland morning line at 8-1. He is going to race against the two older horses, Flightline and Life Is Good. Taiba has had a roller-coaster ride getting to the gate on the rail. The three-year-old colt ran a first in Santa Anita Derby and a 12th in Kentucky Derby.

Taiba and Life Is Good are closer in the odds than their positions in morning line odds tell us. Life is Good was the notable horse in training at Keeneland in runup to this week's Haskell. Taiba was training with Baffert, then being moved to Tim Yakteen for the Kentucky Derby and then back to Baddert's barn for this race. Biddert had Taibas at Santa Anita last weekend. He went six furlongs in a flat 1:13. Flightline will have to overextend himself in some kind of match race against whomever becomes the speed early in race, so that he cannot pour it on in his dominant fashion late in it.
