BreezeFigs Quick-Pix Saturday, December 11, 2021 by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore

The result for our Pick on a weak card last week turned out to be logical: The horse was scratched. Otherwise, it was an excellent week for BreezeFigs maiden 2-year-olds as 16 of them won at: Aqueduct (two), Fair Grounds (BreezeFigs exacta), Golden Gate, Gulfstream (five), Los Alamitos (four), Parx, Penn and Tampa Bay. Three 3-year-olds got off their schneids at Aqueduct, Gulfstream and Turfway. Today’s card is mixed but we found a couple that may do the trick,—see below. Stay safe, and good luck!

Weekend Gameplan for Dec. 11, 2021: Picks for the Mr. Prospector, Poinsettia, Louisiana Champions Day Classic

Wind of Change wins the Mr. Prospector at Monmouth Park.

Good news! There’s excellent top-level Thoroughbred racing this weekend. Bad news! It’s happening in the middle of the night.

The 2021 Hong Kong International Races come Sunday afternoon at Sha Tin, which, challengingly, is the middle of Saturday night in America. Homegrown star Golden Sixty goes for his second straight Hong Kong Mile and 16th win in a row, but Danon Kingly, part of a large Japanese contingent, might beat him at a fair price. Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf heroine Loves Only You will be the chalk in the Hong Kong Cup, with Dubai Honour the upset chance.
