Below, DraftKings Director of Race and Sportsbook Operations Johnny Avello gives his top Breeders’ Cup horse racing picks for DK Horse.
The Breeders’ Cup is here and the weather at Santa Anita couldn’t be better. There are five Breeders’ Cup races on Friday and they are all Juveniles running for purses between $1 million and $2 million.
The 5th race is the Juvenile Turf Sprint to be contested at 5 furlongs and has a field of 15— that’s right, 15—talented fillies & mares. I landed on the colt No Nay Mets, who has won his last two races and has been working out nicely at the Saratoga Training Track.
The way I’m playing the race:
- No Nay Mets: Win & Place
- Exacta Key with No Nay Mets on top of Amidst Waves, Cherry Blossom, Slider and Committee of One
I’m also going to reverse it with those four on top and No Nay Mets in the second position.
In the BC Juvenile (8th race), I like Muth. The colt has been improving in each of his three races and is trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert. Muth has two wins over the Santa Anita surface.
- Muth: Win & Place
