Saturday's Head to Head Matchups Classic
Havre de Grace -145 vs. Uncle Mo
The odds in Breeders Cup betting on this matchup are somewhat surprising considering Uncle Mo is the morning line favorite in the race. Havre de Grace is the top filly in the country but she is up against Uncle Mo who was considered a superstar before he had health issues earlier this year.
Stay Thirsty -135 vs. Game On Dude
This looks like a very good bet with Stay Thirsty favored against Game On Dude. Stay Thirsty doesn't get the attention of Uncle Mo but the horse has been really good. Trainer Todd Pletcher who trains both Uncle Mo and Stay Thirsty says to watch out for Stay Thirsty. "Beware of the underdog," Pletcher said. “He seems as good coming into this as he was before the Jim Dandy and the Travers."
Drosselmeyer -135 vs. Ruler On Ice
This is a tough one to call between Drosselmeyer, who won last year’s Belmont and Ruler On Ice. Both horses don’t seem good enough to challenge for the win in this race so it is a toss-up as to who finishes higher.
Marathon
A.U. Miner -130 vs. Birdrun
The first race of the day on Saturday has A.U. Miner favored in this matchup.
Juvenile Turf
Caspar Netscher -165 vs. Wrote
This could be one of the rare instances when you take a favorite in a Breeders Cup matchup.
Sprint
Amazombie -125 vs. Giant Ryan
This is another flip of a coin.
Turf Sprint
Chamberlain Bridge -130 vs. Havelock
Another one that is tough to call.
Dirt Mile
Shackleford -125 vs. Jersey Town
The bigger name is Shackleford but that doesn't mean he wins this.
Turf
Dean’s Kitten -150 vs. Teaks North
This should be one that Dean’s Kitten wins.
Juvenile
Hansen -150 vs. Daddy Long Legs
This might be one for the underdog.
Mile
Goldikova -220 vs. Gio Ponti
This is a big price on Goldikova and it might be too high. There is no question that Golidkova is a great horse but Gio Ponti is very good and shouldn’t be this type of an underdog.
