Breeders Crown Eliminations - The Selections

Or should we call them the Dreaded Selections based on my current slump?  Time will tell if the slump is broken or it continues. 

I am looking for some of the eliminations to have some upsets but with the elimination winners able to draw post position in the finals, I have no doubt some of the favorites will be reaching the wire first.  However, depending on which favorites win, you can have several winners for the night and still lose if you are dealing with 1-5 and 2-5 favorites.

One thing I have noticed this year is one should not dismiss horses that have been racing on the NYSS circuit.  Right now, the NYSS is one of the toughest state sired program and all this year, we have had horses racing in the NYSS winning their first start against open company, at big prices.  Of course, there are no guarantees but it is an angle to watch out for.

Don't forget, HANA Harness' The Pen vs. The Chip Handicapping Challenge Handicappers are making their selections for both days of eliminations at Woodbine Racetrack and quite honestly, it is a horse race.  Barring anything unforeseen happening, The Pen vs. The Chip is another event which is 'All Coming Down to the Breeders Crown'. You can find the handicapper's selections at this link the morning of each day's racing action

With out further ado, here are my selections:
