Blue Blood Against Blue Collar In Breeders’ Cup Classic!
Friday, November 3rd 2006(Bob Acton)

Bernardini has won six in a row without hardly breaking a sweat, but there is a breeze coming in from California named Lava Man and it should be some kind of show in Louisville.

Who would have thought that a 5-year old gelding that was claimed for $50,000 in a race at Del Mar in 2004 would real off seven straight wins including the Santa Anita Handicap, the Hollywood Gold Cup, and the Pacific Classic?

What I want to know is why I can’t take fifty grand and turn it into $3.8 million like Lava Man’s owner Steve Kenly, his father David and Jason Wood. While he has ruled the West Coast Lava Man has been ordinary in his two starts outside California, with losses in Japan and at Belmont.

Bettors must remember however that only one California bred horse has ever won a Breeders’ Cup and that was in 2000 with Tiznow.

My suggestion is do what most Americans are doing these days and that would be to visit the best online betting store in the country at www.SuperBook.com and take advantage of columnist Greg Melikov’s excellent articles. While there you will be able to get a look at every Breeders’ race that will be run at Churchill Saturday.

Bernardini is owned by royalty in Sheik Mohammed’s Darley Stable and this machine has looked like the second coming of Secretariat this year mowing down opposition with the greatest of ease.

Oh yes, did I forget to mention that there are 10 other horses that have decided to show up. Win-Place-Show is all available with the click of your mouse!
