BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, October 20, 2018, by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore

Well, this is a first—the three colts in our BreezeFigs Pix finished in the bottom three positions last week, two having fried themselves in a front running duel and the other not getting out of his own way throughout.

Race 6: China Rider (#3)

Her recent win on dirt – not her preferred surface – demonstrates that she has regained top form.

Earned speed figures in turf sprints in early summer that would beat this field.

The Pace Projector is predicting that she will get a fast pace to close into.

TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Thursday, Oct. 18, 2018

Race 2: Caoimhe (#1)

Finds herself in an unusually weak race for this level.

Ran a string of competitive speed figures going shorter earlier this summer and will appreciate turning back to a sprint.

Eric Cancel seems to do well when riding closers in cheap races.

TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2018

Race 2: Semper Sententiae (#6)

Handled the course and distance when breaking her maiden last time out.

Appreciates some give in the turf course, and the turf is likely to be less than firm on Wednesday.

Projects to get a good stalking trip in a race that does not feature much early speed.

King: Keeneland horses to watch for week of Oct. 15, 2018


SHARE THE UPSIDE
Trainer: Steve Asmussen
Last race: Oct. 14, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 88
Although not reflected by his 1-for-5 record, he was gritty in defeat at Keeneland Oct. 14, missing second in a head-bobbing photo that could have gone either way. He ran quite well to lose by a length and a half in a first-level allowance that was quick for the level over a sloppy strip.
