2012 Breeders' Cup Grey Goose Juvenile Race Favorites
Shanghai Bobby - has four career stars and four wins for trainer Todd Pletcher. Last time out was an impressive win in the Grade 1 Foxwoods Champaign by five lengths to follow a 3 3/4 length score in the Grade 2 Three Chimneys Hopeful Stakes, a maiden win on April 19 at Aqueduct and an impressive win in the Track Barron Stakes at Belmont Park on June 27. Shanghai Bobby looks good, is the morning line favorite and will likely be a factor Saturday.
Power Broker - Bob Baffert trained colt is coming off an impressive score in the Grade 1 FrontRunner Stakes by 6 1/2 lengths here September 29 after a good second in the Oak Tree Juvenile September 5. He started his career with a fourth and a third but appears to be peaking at just the right time ahead of the Breeders' Cup.

Dynamic Sky - has three career starts - two stakes races at Woodbine resulted in a win in the Simcoe Stakes September 3 and a third in his debut at the Vandal Stakes in July. Last time out was a very nice second in the Grade 1 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland October 6.
Monument - has four starts for trainer John Sadler with three wins but has yet to line up in a graded stakes races. Last time out was a win in the Bob Benoit California Cup Juvenile to follow a second in the C. B. Afferbaugh Stakes September 12.
Capo Bastone - John Sadler colt won his career debut on August 4 but has not quite looked the same in his last two starts - a fourth in the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity was followed by a good third behind Power Broker last time out in the Grade 1 FrontRunner here September 29.
He's Had Enough - comes from the same team camp as I'll Have Another. He won a Maiden Special Weight in his debut August 12 but followed that with a disappointing sixth in the Oak Tree Juvenile Turf Stakes at Del Mar September 5. Last time out was an ugly eleventh in the Grade 1 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity - not a good sign for this week's marquee stage.
