Online racebook fans absolutely have to keep that in mind when looking for a horse that deserves a win wager. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t even think about betting on a horse at odds of less than 5 to 1 in the Breeders\u2019 Cup Mile. It\u2019s just not worth it. Long shots seem to always do well in this race.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n<h3>Race-day: 10\/25\/2008 &#8211;  Santa Anita &#8211; &#8211; Race 4<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Breeders\u2019 Cup Mile<\/strong><br \/>\n$2,000,000<br \/>\nFor Three Year Olds and Up<br \/>\n1 mile on the turf<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whatsthescript &#8211; &#8211; 5\/1 online odds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The hometown boy could do good in this race. Why? Because he will be able to close into some serious fractions and, on paper, he\u2019s every bit as good as the Europeans. Sure, the Euros come into this with great reputations, but Whatsthescript has won four out of five races at the mile distance. He\u2019s also trained by terrific California guy John Sadler. That\u2019s enough, right? He\u2019s been working fantastically for this, gets jockey Garret Gomez and will be overlaid in the betting. That makes him worth a play in my mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raven\u2019s Pass &#8211; &#8211; 5\/1 online odds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Raven\u2019s Pass\u2019s connections are insane if they decide to take on Henrythenavigator and Curlin in the Breeders\u2019 Cup Classic instead of running in this race. Uh\u2026Her Royal Highness Princess Haya (that\u2019s the owner of Raven\u2019s Pass!), this race is for two million bucks! Okay, maybe you don\u2019t need the cash, but your terrific turf horse has no business running against the best that America, and Europe, has to offer when he could go off the favorite in a very prestigious race. Notice I wrote \u201cgo off the favorite\u201d and not that Raven\u2019s Pass would automatically win this if he goes. I don\u2019t think he is an automatic. He deserves a ton of respect, more so than anything else in this race, but I\u2019ll have to pass on the 6 to 5 online odds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bold Chieftan &#8211; &#8211; 15\/1 fair online odds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yep. That\u2019s right. He just lost a $175,000 non-graded state-bred stakes race against a field of five as an 80 cent favorite. No, that bit of info in your racing form is not a mirage. But here he is, running in the Breeders\u2019 Cup Mile and here I am saying that he has a punchers\u2019 chance in this, but only a punchers\u2019 chance. Bold Chieftan usually fails in graded races. That means he probably has no chance from a class point-of-view, but the online betting odds are going to be grossly huge on a horse that knows California well and on paper is just as fast as some of the favorites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daytona &#8211; &#8211; 10\/1 fair online odds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it time for Daytona to start acting like Daytona? He ran off four straight victories in 2007 including one in the Grade I Hollywood Derby at 1 \u00bc miles. He is super fast and will get the lead over Thorn Song in this. In fact Thorn Song\u2019s chances of winning should be compromised because Daytona will be winging it out there! I love this guy at what figure to be incredible online odds to win this. Watch him take the lead and go wire to wire at double-digit odds. Yes, at that point all of you can call me a genius!<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/join\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bet on the 2008 Breeders Cup Horse Races Today In the Betus Racebook &#8211; Join now click here!!!<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Breeders\u2019 Cup Mile is always one of the toughest races on the card for online racebook fans to handicap, we do our best to provide racebook picks to your for the 2008 Breeders Cup Mile&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[30,3760,3758,150,3759,66513,572,575,3216,3217,3215,1028,3756,3214,1051,3757,2431],"class_list":["post-3135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-horse-racing","tag-30","tag-2008-breeders-cup-mile-betting-preview","tag-3-year-olds","tag-bet-on-horses","tag-breeders-cup-mile","tag-handicapping","tag-horse-betting","tag-horse-handicapping","tag-horse-odds","tag-horse-racing-lines","tag-horseracing-betting","tag-predictions","tag-race-4","tag-racebook-odds","tag-racebooks","tag-raceday","tag-santa-anita"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3135"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3138,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3135\/revisions\/3138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
