2015 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Race Favorite Entries

Brody's Cause 7-2 - will race for the fourth time for trainer Dale Romans having won two of his first three starts. Last time out was a terrific win in the Grade 1 Claiborne Breeders' Futurity on this track which followed a maiden score and a sixth in his debut. Off a win here, Brody's Cause is expected to be in the mix Saturday when he departs from post 7 with Corey Lanerie in the reins of the tepid morning line favorite.

Greenpointcrusader 4-1 - has three career starts for trainer Dominick Schettino with two wins and a second place finish. He enters off an impressive win in the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park October 3 after a maiden score in his second career start and a second in his debut. Greenpointcrusader looked terrific last time out and hopes to keep the roll going Saturday from post 3 with Joe Bravo guiding the second betting choice.

Breeders' Cup Juvenile 2015 | Remaining Contenders

Nyquist 9-2 - Doug O'Neill trained colt has been terrific in his four race career - he has won all. Last time out was in the Grade 1 FrontRunner Stakes at Santa Anita September 26 after the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity September 7 and wins in the Grade 2 Best Pal Stakes also at Del Mar August 8 and a MSW in June - his first two stakes scored came by a combined nine lengths. He hasn't been touched so far in his career and is definitely one to keep tabs on heading into the weekend. Mario Gutierrez has the mount from an unfortunate post 13.

Exaggerator 6-1 - Keith Desormeaux trained colt has been very competitive in his four race career - two wins and a second place finish. A fifth in his debut was followed by two straight wins - a maiden score at Del Mar in July and the Grade 2 Saratoga Special in August. Last time out was a respectable second behind Brody's Cause in the Grade 1 Claiborne Breeders' Futurity on this track October 3. Exaggerator has looked very good in his last three starts and hopes for his first Grade 1 score this weekend. Kent Desormeaux has been tabbed to ride from gate 10.

Ralis 12-1 - has six career starts already for trainer Doug O'Neill with two wins and a second place finish. Last time out was a sixth in the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes October 3 at Belmont Park after a good win in the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes September 7, a second in the minor Graduation at Del Mar August 5 and a fifth in the minor Summer Juvenile Championship at Los Alamitos in July. Ralis has been wildly inconsistent so far but has looked very good at times in his six starts. Javier Castellano gets the call from post 11 hoping to gain a little consistency for Ralis.

Cocked and Loaded 12-1 - Larry Rivelli trained colt won his first two career starts but stumbled badly after that. He was sixth in the Grade 3 Sanford Stakes at Saratoga in July and fifth in the Grade 3 Arlington-Washington Futurity in August but most recently posted his best career result to date - by far. That was a win in the Grade 3 Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs September 12. Cocked and Loaded seems to have found something in his last race and hopes to parlay that success to this weekend. Irad Ortiz has been tabbed with getting Cocked and Loaded his second straight graded stakes score from post 5.

Riker 15-1 - has four career starts for trainer Nicholas Gonzalez with four wins - all at Woodbine. Last time out was a win in his stakes graded stakes debut - the Grade 3 Grey Stakes after consecutive minor stakes scores earlier this summer and a maiden score at first asking. Riker hasn't been touched yet and will be out to keep him impressive undefeated streak alive Saturday - from gate 2.

Unbridled Law has been OK so far and will be after his first stakes win from gate 4 Saturday. Mike Smith rides.

Rated R Superstar 15-1 - has placed in all four career starts for trainer Kenneth McPeek. Last time out was a third in the Grade 1 Claiborne Breeders' Futurity on this track October 3 after a second in the Grade 3 Iroquois Stakes September 12 and a maiden score at Ellis Park in August in his second career start. Rated R Superstar is in search of his first stakes score but has been knocking on the door. Calvin Borel hopes to accomplish the ultimate goal from gate 6.

Swipe 15-1 - has placed in all six career starts for trainer Keith Desormeaux - a win, four seconds and a third place finish. He enters on the heels of three straight runner-up finishes - the Grade 1 FrontRunner Stakes last time out September 26 at Santa Anita, the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity September 7 at Del Mar and the Grade 2 Best Pal Stakes August 8. Those results followed a win in the minor Summer Juvenile Championship at Los Alamitos in July and a third in the minor Tremont Stakes in June. Swipe looks to snap a string of "second-it is" Saturday when he departs from post 13 with Victor Espinoza aboard.

Isotherm 20-1 - has two wins in three career starts for trainer George Weaver. He finished fourth in his debut and went on to a maiden score August 22 and a breakthrough win last time out - the Grade 3 Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont Park September 26. Isotherm hopes to make it three straight wins Saturday when he leaves from gate 12 with Jose Lezcano in the reins.

Tale of S'avall 30-1 - has just two career starts for trainer Barclay Tagg with one win - that coming in his debut at Saratoga August 29.

Conquest Big E 30-1 - will race for just the third time for trainer Mark Casse. He races in stakes company for the first time Saturday after breaking maiden last time out on this track and finishing second in his debut September 11 at Churchill Downs.

Waterloo Bridge 30-1 - Irish bred Aidan O'Brien trained colt has two wins, two seconds and a third place finish in six career starts.

Waterloo Bridge has been competitive every time out and hopes to be again Saturday with Ryan Moore guiding him from an unfortunate outside post 14.

Siding Spring 30-1 - Also Eligible entry has a win and a third place finish in two career starts. Last time out was a third in the Grade 3 Dixiana Bourbon Stakes here October 4 after a maiden score September 14.
