BreezeFigs Quick-Pix Saturday, October 31, 2020 by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore

In the spirit of Hallowe’en, “Boo!” To review the results of our Pix last week, “booooooooooo!” One scratch and two up the track. Overall, though, it was a pretty good week for BreezeFigs maidens. Ten juveniles won at Belmont (two, including a BreezeFigs exacta); Churchill (two), Finger Lakes, Keeneland (two, including a BreezeFigs exacta), Monmouth, Parx (BreezeFigs trifecta) and Woodbine.

Weekend GamePlan for Oct. 31, 2020: Picks for Awad Stakes, Zagora Stakes, Churchill race 9

Chelsea Durand/NYRA
Space Launch's ability should make up for a lack of seasoning in the Awad Stakes.

This weekend is the time to get your Pre on – as in Breeders’ Cup pre-entries, publicly released Wednesday. Final fields aren’t set, but these offer more than a rough guide for Breeders’ Cup handicapping study.

Breeders’ Cup breezes will come fast and furious over the weekend, too, though keep in mind most trainers ask for major work two weeks out and put on finishing touches this weekend. Having already done quite a bit of work myself, here’s an early list of under-the-radar horses to consider for all the BC races save the short-field Juvenile Fillies.
