Tom Benson Memorial for older Turf horses up now and I like the 9 Spirit and Glory in a contentious affair

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

The Crescent City Derby for 3 year old Louisiana bride colts is next and I'll go with my name sake Blue Eyed George who is the favorite at 7-5

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

Another 3rd place pick as Mangum finished 3rd. Up nest is the Crescent City Oaks for 3 year old fillies and I'm hard pressed to pick against the favorite Lightofmaine. She had a tough trip last time. Retains Rosario and should win here

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

The first of our stakes buffet is the Costa Rising for Turf sprinters and I am going to side with Mangum who makes his Turf bow here. Think he will adapt to the surface switch and in what is a wide open contest this guy will win.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

Louisiana Derby Day at the Fair Grounds and I'll be providing selections throughout the day hoping for a plethora of winners. Lots of stakes races that will provide many chances at a big payday. We start with a maiden race going 6 furlongs and my pick will be the 6-Causeway Benny

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

And put a circle on Auguste Rodin as he used a genius rail ride to win the Turf. The Classic is next and I really like Ushba Tesoro and Zandon with Ushba my top choice. I also have Saudi Crown and Proxy for my 4 horse exacta box. 2-6-8-13. Good luck all.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

What a gallant effort by Idiomatic to win the Distaff. Up next is the Turf and I like Auguste Rodin in a race that the Europeans hold all the cards.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

A dirty nose in the Mile. That's what Masteroftheseas did denying my top choice Mawj. Up next is the Distaff and I'm torn between Clairiere and Search Results. I'll side with Search Results who I think can sit a trip. If Irad times it right he can win. Clairiere will rally big.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

Goodnight Olive dominates the Filly and Mare Sprint. Upcoming is the Mile and there's so many ways to go here. I'm settling on Mawj who won at Keeneland in style last out. Again a lot of options but this one is my pick.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

So Twitter app freezes on my phone but as a man of transparency the Filly and Mare Turf just ran and my top choice Warm Heart just gets caught by my 3rd choice Inspiral. Next up is the Filly and Mare Sprint and I'm going for an upset as I like the 2-Clearly Unhinged.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

Cody's Wish survives a blatantly idiotic inquiry to repeat in the Dirt Mile and concludes his career. I pray for Cody Dornan and his family that Cody continues his courageous fight. This story is so full of emotion and what a way to conclude this chapter.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

Let me correct myself in time for the Dirt Mile. I said 3 1 and 6 thinking Zozos was the 6. He is the number 4. The corrected box selection is 3 1 and 4.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

The Breeders Cup races begin with the Big Ass fans Dirt Mile. 3-Cody's Wish is the reigning champ and the one to beat yet he as of late hasn't been that sharp. I'll go with the 1-Stage Raider to pull the upset. He was a deceptively good 2nd in the Ack Ack. Box them with 6-Zozos.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

And there are 2 stakes races preceding the Breeders Cup ledger and we start with the Grade 2 Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance stakes and this is a simple way to start. The #-3 Siskany should handle this field without much resistance. He won the Belmont Gold Cup and should roll.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

I wasn't able to partake on Future Stars Friday because I had a football game to broadcast but it's Breeders Cup Saturday and I'm here all day long with picks and analysis. Keep it here as I try to fatten your wallets.

Caravel rolls in the Jaipur and my pick Casa Creed ran a no excuse 3rd. Next is the Met Mile and how do you go against arguably the top horse in America. Cody's Wish who breaks from the rail is the one. I really like the 6-Zandon for the exacta.

[George Pepis @GeorgePepis]

Arabian Lion sits the perfect trip and takes the Woody Stephen's. My pick Federal Judge inexplicably went to the lead and folded late to 4th. Next is the Jaipur for older turf sprinters. I like the 11-Casa Creed as an overlay.
