RACE
9 - Breeders Cup Classic
| 5 | FOREVER YOUNG** | 7-2 |
| 1 | FIERCENESS | 5-2 |
| 9 | JOURNALISM | 8-1 |
| 7 | SIERRA LEONE | 8-1 |
FOREVER YOUNG has 9 wins in 12 career starts. He's run in the U.S. twice. The first time he charged home while getting bumped soundly and repeatedly in the stretch and finished third beaten a head in the Kentucky Derby. Then last year he ran in this race from post 1 and was kept too close to the wicked :44.4 pace, but he held the show gamely. He has 2 wins in 3 starts this year and can upset...FIERCENESS won the GR1 Pacific at this distance over this track last start. Last year he stalked a hot pace in this race and was a game second - one to catch...JOURNALISM was no match for FIERCENESS last time out but rallied for 2nd. He always fires and if MINDFRAME puts some pressure on FIERCENESS, he may go well at a price...SIERRA LEONE big guy rallied off a hot pace to win this year year and he'll be coming on as usual.
This race is from the 2019 Breeders Cup, Real Time ratings. (Note: These are the Real Time Ratings ranked by the way I show is the best way to use them in the book, which is, ranked sprints by Total Pace, and routes by Total Power.)
In the 9 races on Saturday, November 2, 2019, at Santa Anita, the top ranked Real Time pick won 4 of the 9 races and paid $5.00, $20.20, $9.20, and $19.80. The 2nd ranked horse won 2 of the races. In the filly and mares turf, Iridessa, who I picked, was not ranked because she had been racing in Europe. So basically, Real Time had the winner on top in 4 of 8 races and had the 2nd ranked horse won 2 races.

I had a good 2018 Breeders Cup with my Best Bet winning both days, one at 7-2 on Friday, and then Accelerate at 5-2 on Saturday. Below are the Real Time Ratings ranked by Total Power. Accelerate had the highest Total Power and the highest Pace Adjusted Prime ratings. He was tied with West Coast for top Average Speed, and he also had the highest Total Average of all the ratings. Congratulations to trainer John Sadler, who finally got his first Breeders Cup win.
