The favors
On appeal after his failure in the last Price of the Longchamp Mill (Gr. I), the resident of Charlie Appleby is installed favorite by the bookmakers at odds of 3/1. After a perfect start to his career with four victories in as many attempts including a brilliant victory in the 2000 Guineas of Newmarket (Gr. I), he did not prove his worth in a Group 1 contested at Royal Ascot. We found the real Notable Speech a month and a half later in the Qatar Sussex Stakes (Gr. I) where he performed brilliantly. His mentor, three-time title holder of this event, must have marked November 2 on his calendar for a while and there is no doubt that his protégé will be at the top for this race.
The challengers
We deplore the absence of the French champion Ramatuelle. Suffering a few hours before the race, the resident of Christopher Head unfortunately had to decline the fight. Too bad for the show.
Despite this, Notable Speech did not gain any advance, particularly in the face of a certain Bring Luck. A true globetrotter, the daughter of Caravaggio has already distinguished itself in the previous edition of the Breeder’s Cup by placing second in the Juvenile Fillie’s Turf (Gr. I). She had an almost perfect 2024 season with three victories and a second place in four attempts each time at the highest level. She will set off with the confidence of those around her and should play the leading roles.
The Americans have not won this event since 2017 and the victory of World Approval. This year they will count, among other things, on Johannes et Carl Spackler to win the bet. The first named has just brilliantly won in one of the preparatory contests at St. Anita. He will have the advantage of having won for his only test on the track of Sea and don’t leave beaten in advance. Carl Spackler will have another advantage, that of being raised in Ireland, an always valuable argument in races contested on the “turf”. He remains on three consecutive successes and will represent the formidable training of Chad Brown (18 Breeder’s Cup to his name). He will have to deal with his number on the outside but seems capable of shining.
Another American representative, More Than Looks don’t leave beaten in advance. He has just placed second in Carl Spackler in a Group 1 contested on the track of Keeneland. That day he waited at the rear before setting a very good end to the race, finishing very close to the winner. Sixth in the previous edition, he seems capable of doing better this Saturday.
Abdelhak Mozaachi’s gaming tips
Ticket prudent : Single Winner/Placed – Porta Fortuna (7) – 4 euros
“I am convinced that Donnacha O’Brien’s rider will be very dangerous. She has already done well in Uncle Sam’s country and can adopt all the tactics. Her entourage has made this race a real objective and I believe it capable of fielding a fourth Group 1 in a row.”
Offensive ticket : Trio Ordre International – Porta Fortuna (7) in base with Notable Speech (6), More Than Looks (8), Johannes (9) and Carl Spackler (12) in associates – 6 euros (flexi 50%)
“I keep Porta Fortuna as a base with 2 knows particularly how to prepare for this event. I am also keeping as associates the three American competitors More Than Looks, Johannes and Carl Spackler who will be keen to do well in front of their audience.”
