I do not have the same fuzzy feeling I had for Cajun Beat as I did last year. Anyone else?

Cajun Beat is your best single?  IF that\'s the case, don\'t worry about singling him in the pick 6, bet him to win.  He will be 10-1 in the race.  I think he has a shot and could be value, but would never classify him as the \"best single\".  I personally think the most likely winner on the card is Ghostzapper.  Although I won\'t bet him to win (price too short), I would also say that Kitten\'s Joy is a legitimate favorite and also a probable winner.  Tough to find \"singles\" on Breeders Cup day as the races are so competitive that even the most \"likely\" of winners can go down.  I think JB would probably agree that few horses have had a stronger numerical advantage than Sightseek last year and she ran up the track.  I think Ghostzappers advantage on the T-Graph numbers is as strong as Sightseek\'s was last year, but I am hoping for a different result.

can\'t say I disagree with you, and thanks for posting on this, but here is my current thinking on cajun beat:

Fresh,
lightly used TY,
fastest time at distance by far,
will be overlooked for all the above.

The DRF has a stat that 44 out of the 145 starters in BC have paid over $20, so I am playing a single MUCH differently than I would normally.

Anyone staying at the Anatole, by the way?
