BIG FOUR FORTUNE COOKIES FOR THE BREEDERS CUP: The two-day Breeders Cup feast is here but there are strangers at the table, horses which have never met before and may never meet again. All you can do is pick partisan, taking a small group of horses you know well.
For example, Daqman’s four Fortune Cookies are benchmarks of ability, and his current strike-rate would give him an overall profit. He reassesses their races, looking for alternatives. Headlines:

🇺🇸⭕ 7.30 Keeneland (Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint) In her first Breeders Cup ride, Hollie Doyle, who stole British Champions Day with a Group-race double, has blinkers first time and stall one to help Mighty Gurkha (19.0 BETDAQ offers, as I write).
Aidan O’Brien saddles Lipizzaner (13.0), whose sire was a juvenile winner at the Breeders Cup. O’Brien won it in 2017 with Declarationofpeace.
Campanelle’s stablemate, Golden Pal (2.75) was just run out of it in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot as a maiden but improved since so that Wesley Ward thought about coming back to England for the Nunthorpe Stakes.
SEALIWAY ‘STEAMROLLER’ AT 11.0
🇺🇸⭕ 8.10 Keeneland (Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf) Aidan O’Brien has 26 runners over the next two days as a final fling to the Flat, 19 of them today including 11 at the Curragh’s special meeting for maidens, in which some with 2021 Classic potential appear.
There could be a future champion lurking at the Curragh but long-promised star of his weekend is Battleground in this Juvenile Turf which he’s won four times. The race is sponsored by Coolmore America, which makes it something of a home win if Battleground can do it.
He has been saved up for the race since back-to-back success in the Chesham at Royal Ascot and the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.
The bad news is that the second, third and fourth in the Chesham have won nothing since, unless you count a two-horse race at Ayr in which the Chesham runner-up achieved a bloated-looking 95 rating for scoring by a short-head from a long-way loser since.
The Goodwood runner-up, Devious Company, was subsequently out of the frame in the Champagne Stakes and the Dewhurst (at 80-1)
New Mandate (Frankie Dettori) hasn’t fared much better, with the placed horses from his Royal Lodge both beaten since.
Cadillac won the Champion Juvenile (Breeders Cup Challenge) for Jessica Harrington at Leopardstown but disappointed in the Dewhurst.
I shall take a chance for a second bet on Sealiway, the Lagardere winner on heavy, but who like his sire has acted on all types of ground, and is described by trainer Frederic Rossi as a ‘steamroller’. The Dettori of France, Mickael Barzalona rides. BETDAQ Betting Exchange. this morning: 5.5 Battleground, 11.0 Sealiway.
SIMPLY THE BETDAQ BEST ON FORM
🇺🇸⭕ 8.50 Keeneland (Breeders Cup Dirt Juvenile Fillies) Dayoutoftheoffice (beat Vequist at Belmont), Girl Daddy, Princess Noor and Simply Ravishing are all unbeaten.
Crazy Beautiful was beaten two lengths by Girl Daddy at Churchill Downs but has six lengths to find with Simply Ravishing on their running here at Keeneland.
Doyen of the Breeders Cup, Bob Baffert is very keen on Princess Noor, who looks the danger to the form filly, Simply Ravishing (BETDAQ 4.0).
🇺🇸⭕ 9.30 Keeneland (Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf) Home hopes Plum Ali (has won the best trial for this) and Aunt Pearl are unbeaten, while the most experienced fillies are Irish raiders Mother Earth (Fillies Mile third for Aidan O’Brien) and Miss Amulet, winner of the Lowther Stakes and runner-up in the Cheveley Park for Ken Condon.
But I was very impressed with Wesley Ward’s Campanelle (BETDAQ 5.5) when Frankie Dettori steered her clear of the Queen Mary field then followed up by slamming the colts in the Prix Morny.
Morny runner-up Nando Parrado was crushed eight lengths by Sealiway in the Lagardere, but the going was deep and Sealiway is a particular horse.
ALL IN ON CLEVER SKELTON MOVE
⭕ 1.00 Warwick Dan Skelton’s Allmankind last year won today’s novice hurdle, first on the card, and now the Triumph Hurdle third takes his 8lb four-year-olds allowance over fences with a bonus start to hopes of a successful transition.
Allmankind likes to front-run, which is exactly what is called for when you have the equivalent of an eight-lengths start.
Skelton has won this race twice with older horses in the last five years but Fred looks a threat for Nicky Henderson, who has struck form with 2-3 (and is 4-8 in November).
Fred came over from France because he needs good ground, and this is the first time he’s had it in England. He did well enough on the soft and over the stiff hurdles at Auteuil to suggest that chasing is his game.
But Allmankind has a 10lb advantage here, if they run to their hurdles ability. I took 2.56 on BETDAQ but I’ll be ready to switch in-running to Fred (4.3 as I write) if the favourite fails to establish a lead over the first two fences.
⭕ 4.00 Newcastle Winner-a-day William Buick (that’s his average) is unlikely to catch Oisin Murphy, even when the postal votes are in!
But he has an acey-deucy chance in two or three races here, including on Mustarrid in this one, following the topweight’s six-lengths strike at Nottingham nine days back.
But Mustrarrid hasn’t won on AW since 2017 and has never put two wins together, except with a long break in between.
I prefer Ulshaw Bridge (BETDAQ 4.4 taken), whose course-and-distance strike last month was at the expense of Boston George (though giving him weight), who has followed up here at Newcastle.
