Pacific Raiders To Watch Out For

Ahead of the weekend’s action at Santa Anita Park, check out all of the Japanese Breeders Cup entries. We will have all you need to know about some of the more fancied Pacific raiders. 

There are eight horses coming over from Japan for the Breeders Cup and three are within a great chance of going close. No Japanese horse won at the meeting last year, but two did back in 2021. Loves Only You took home the Filly & Mare Turf, meanwhile Marche Lorraine won the Distaff.

Three Japanese Breeders Cup 2023 Entries Bettors Should Look Out For

Songline – Breeders Cup Mile (1:30pm)

Toru Hayashi’s SONGLINE has had a fairly good season so far and won the Grade 1 Yasuda Kinen for the second year in a row back in June. It is fair to say that this five-year-old is being overlooked.

She was second last time out in the Grade 2 Mainichi Okan at Tokyo when done on the line by a nose, but there is plenty to like about this mare and can be backed at +330 for the Mile. She’s one of the Japanese Breeders Cup entries certainly to keep an eye out for.

Songline takes the Yasuda Kinen (G1)!

Ushba Tesoro – Breeders Cup Classic (3:40pm)

Japan have two horses entered for the biggest race of the weekend, the Breeders Cup Classic and USHBA TESORO is the current third favorite at +385.

Having won six of his last seven races, Ushba Tesoro simply cannot be ignored in this contest, especially since the scratching of Arcangelo a couple of days ago.

The most notable win of the year for Noburu Takagi’s six-year-old was the Dubai World Cup at Meydan back in March and if he performs anything like…
