Summary

American racing expert and AtTheRaces pundit Barry Faulkner, along with international racing expert and SKY Sports Racing presenter Tim Carroll, join Emmet for our annual Breeders Cup special as racing returns to the iconic venue where surf meets turf at Santa Anita. Barry and Tim share some bullish bets as we preview every feature race on Friday and Saturday, offering strong opinions, insightful analysis, and plenty of fun. Barry has a strong each-way play in the Juvenile Turf Sprint, while all three of us are eager to take on the red-hot favorite Tamara in the Juvenile Fillies. Barry's strongest bet of the meeting is in the Juvenile Fillies Turf, Tim has a 7/1 wager in the Juvenile, while Emmet makes the case for an Aidan O'Brien clean sweep in the Juvenile Turf. It's hard to ignore the incredible story of Cody's Wish in the Dirt Mile. Both Tim and Barry strongly agree on their bet against the two market leaders in the Filly & Mare Turf. We're all backing Goodnight Olive in the Filly & Mare Sprint, although there's a difference of opinion on the Breeders' Cup Mile. Tim and Barry both discuss a value bet in the Distaff, and there's a lively debate about the race of the meeting, the Turf, where Auguste Rodin, Mostahdaf, King Of Steel, Onesto, Up To The Mark, and Shahryar go to war in a renewal that rivals the High Chaparral/Johar epic from 20 years ago. While Barry and Tim are once again in agreement on their bet in the Classic, we also convince ourselves of a value play in the Turf Sprint and Sprint.

0:00.0	Welcome along to the Final Fall on podcast. It is our breeder's cup special, and if we're
0:06.8	going to chat about American Racing, then we've got to assemble a top team. First up,
0:11.9	the Don, the guru of British-based American Punting, the legend from At the Races, Barry
0:20.0	Faulkner. Welcome back to the show. Thank you. Have a great day back. It's not possible
0:25.2	for us to do the breeder's cup without you. And you're going to be a very, very busy man
0:29.1	for the excellent At the Races website, because you're basically riding about every single
0:32.9	race there. I've got to, that's my gig where we can crack it through the Friday this afternoon
0:39.7	and I'll get on finish Friday, probably when we finish here, then finish the left tomorrow
0:44.5	and want to get into Saturdays and hopefully we've all done by Friday night. I'm looking
0:48.3	forward to getting your insight for the next couple of days. We are also joined by a man
0:52.0	who's a familiar face to viewers of Sky Sports Racing. He is an international betting expert.
0:56.8	He's also an international man of mystery and a Guinness connoisseur. Tim Carroll, welcome
1:01.5	back to the show. Good to be here, mate. I'd great to have you both on, trying to get our heads
1:08.8	around the track configuration at Sant Anita, pace and draw by us. Barry, what's the crucial things
1:14.8	we need to know about both the turf and the dirt before we place a bet on the breeder's cup at
1:19.4	Sant Anita? Well, he's a box standard. We're a good, terrible, mile-round, seven films,
1:24.8	turf courses. Did you have the quirk of the downhill course, which is used for the mile and
1:29.9	a quarter and a half turf races, which means they start pretty quickly. The turf should be
1:35.2	lining fast. The dirt is interesting, but this year you would have said, well, they don't
1:40.3	have a place to be in Sant Anita, that's on the front end, but reports coming through for the
1:45.2	last couple of weeks there is that the horse is closing, certainly around two turn trips,
1:50.0	and doing better than they had done traditionally. So we're not going to just keep a good eye on that
