Breeders’ Cup best bet: Nov. 1

Friday

Race 9 Breeders' Cup Juvenile

#6 Citizen Bull 10/1

Trainer Bob Baffert at a price in the Breeders’ Cup with a fast runner doesn’t happen all the time but that’s what we have here.

Citizen Bull is the fastest horse in the field and proved he could hold his speed a route of ground in the Grade 1 American Pharoh with an impressive wire-to-wire victory.

Martin Garcia is Baffert’s trusted jockey and he is already 2-for-2 on Bull.

The worktab says look for Bull to take it to the field from the start. He has some of the fastest pace figures along with being proven at the distance.

Baffert’s horses are the best when on the lead and they know how to fight on. Take Bull Friday in what should be a front-running victory at a nice price.

The 2-year-old colt is simply too fast.
