PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 11/1/25
Featured track Del Mar Breeders’ Cup Saturday
Race number 6
 
Race overview A solid renewal of the G1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint for 3up at 6 furlongs.
 
Pace It’s the fastest dirt race we run in this country, so they will fly early, which means—if the track is playing fair—this could fall apart late.
Trends It’s imperative to check how the main track played Friday and early Saturday, as a paved highway would not help the stalker/closers.
Best Play #7 IMAGINATION (6-1): Baffert runner cut back and won the G2 SA Sprint Championship eased up in third gear while running wide, wider, and widest the entire way, and the hellacious pace he’ll get here should only flatter his chances.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and a must-use/leverage single in ALL the expansive horizontal exotics offered on the card.
