King: On Leave offers best value among QE II contenders
In Saturday's Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland, I will back the filly I believe can get another good trip and still be a decent price: On Leave.

In Saturday's Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland, I will back the filly I believe can get another good trip and still be a decent price: On Leave.
I like She Doesn't Mind's outside draw, and I'm hoping she finally gets a trouble-free trip in Saturday's Pebble Stakes at Belmont Park.
Pick six bettors and front-running favorites have the same objective Friday at Santa Anita – to endure. While bettors try to stay alive in a pick six that begins with a $53,993 carryover, Hobbits Hero and Curlin Rules hope to carry their speed in split divisions of a second-level allowance on turf.
Free: Santa Anita horses to watch for the week of Oct. 10

Trip Notes for October 9-10, including the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Champagne, and Shadwell Turf Mile.
The early pick four (races 2-5) on Sunday's Keeneland card looks intriguing.

The top-class miler OBVIOUSLY may prove the linchpin in leg 2 (race 8), allowing you to spread to try to nail a price in the other competitive races. Of course, if you can beat him, well, then you’ll eliminate many tickets, so while he rates as your “A,” it seems silly to bank solely on him, as good as he is.
Breeders’ Cup preps abound, and trainer Chad Brown may prove the key to the first two legs.
