Race No. 8: Sprint

I will complete the Pick 3 from Race 6, my Double from Race 7, and begin the late Pick 5 with my favorite horse, the No. 4 Mitole (9-5). He is an absolute freak, and the best horse going in perhaps the best race of the weekend.

I'll also be betting Mitole across the board, and might have a sizable win wager by post time depending on his odds.

Race No. 12: The Breeders' Cup Classic

8:44 p.m. ET, NBC

I have already detailed my approach to bet this race.

However, I had to include the No. 8 McKinzie (3-1) in some, but not all of my multi-race tickets. That consists of the late Pick 4 and Pick 5, where I also used the No. 6 Elate (6-1), who is running against the boys for the first time.

I used my top three win contenders, the No. 5 Yoshida (8-1), No. 10 Vino Rosso (4-1) and No. 11 Code of Honor (4-1) in an exacta box. And I also used that trio to finish off my Double with Race 11.

To keep my exotic tickets less costly, I'll look to single Code of Honor and Yoshida to hit the board within my Trifectas and Superfectas while mixing the remaining horses I have listed, the No. 3 Owendale (15-1), and the No. 7 Higher Power (6-1) around them.

Picks: 5-11-10-8
