JKHarper’s CornerJonathon Kinchen’s longshotML 8/1Vol. 2
JK points out that American runners have long had the edge in this race thanks to their gate speed, and he sees Harper’s Corner as a fast filly who could potentially wire the field.

PTFMussabPeter Thomas Fornatale’s longshotML 15/1Vol. 2
PTF rates Mussab’s form overseas highly and thinks he’s a fast horse who would be good value at this price. ITM Plus has Beyer-figure equivalents for the foreign runners if you want to compare.

JKLife ChangingJonathon Kinchen’s longshotML 30/1Vol. 2
A big debut, then a bad race. JK is hoping Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher has figured her out the way he did with Fierceness, because that debut puts her right there with this group. He expects her to be 30/1 or higher.

PTFOscarPeter Thomas Fornatale’s longshotML 15/1Vol. 1
Only two starts for Miguel Clement. He may have looked one-paced late last time, but that was a Grade 1 in just his second start. PTF liked the poise and toughness he showed while still green on debut, expects him to improve, and isn’t willing to hand this race to the Europeans.

JKR DisasterJonathon Kinchen’s longshotML 8/1Vol. 1
Ways and Means is a deserving favorite, JK says, but most of her brilliant races came at Saratoga. The last time they met away from Saratoga, in the Derby City Distaff, R Disaster wired the field for her first Grade 1 and beat her. JK thinks she can be the speed of the speed, and PTF said he would have picked her too.

PTFCy FairPeter Thomas Fornatale’s longshotML 8/1Vol. 2
PTF admits this one is a slight cheat on the longshot cutoff, though she’s 10/1 in many places internationally. Last year’s Juvenile Turf Sprint winner, she has an excuse for her Kentucky Downs run and should get a good setup. JK agreed she’s back at a track where she has run well.

JKBless the BrokenJonathon Kinchen’s longshotML 20/1Vol. 2
Not necessarily a winner, but JK wants her underneath in trifectas and superfectas. Mostly a dirt runner, she has run well in her last few turf starts, and he isn’t sure we know yet who she is on grass. PTF has been a fan since her big run in the Kentucky Oaks at 3.
Saturday, Oct. 31 · 4:20 p.m. ET · MileFull field & narrative PPs →
JKRhetoricalJonathon Kinchen’s longshotML 8/1Vol. 1
A very reliable speed type. JK notes he ran well behind a slow pace last time but has shown he can handle a faster one, and he could get forgotten among the “shiny new toys” in this field.
Saturday, Oct. 31 · 4:20 p.m. ET · MileFull field & narrative PPs →
PTFLake ForestPeter Thomas Fornatale’s longshotML 6/1Vol. 1
Lake Forest met Rhetorical last time, and PTF thought he ran really well on a day when the flow favored Rhetorical. Expecting horses to come running late here, PTF calls him underrated and able to get a piece.
Saturday, Oct. 31 · 5:36 p.m. ET · TurfFull field & narrative PPs →
PTFDeep MonsterPeter Thomas Fornatale’s longshotML 30/1Vol. 1
Japanese invaders have a way of stepping up at the Breeders’ Cup, PTF says. He isn’t saying Deep Monster wins, but he thinks he can get a piece, and he’s an even bigger price internationally.
