Favorites generally win one-third of the time at American racetracks. During the current Oak Tree meeting, however, top choices scored 40 percent through Oct. 29.
The Breeders’ Cup, dating back to the inaugural event in 1984, has produced winning favorites 34 1/2 percent in 196 races.
The biggest upset in Breeders’ Cup history came in the ‘93 Breeders’ Cup Classic when European import Arcangues triumphed at a whopping 133-1.
Eight of 14 Breeders’ Cup winners last year at Santa Anita returned double-digit payoffs.

Here are my picks for the 26th Breeders’ Cup 2009 starting with Friday’s Breeders’ Cup entries:
$500,000 Breeders’ Cup Marathon, 1 3/4 miles: None of the 10 horses has gone this far. Nite Lite, Cloudy’s Knight and Mastery show the best recent form. But I’m passing.
View the Breeders’ Cup Marathon entries.
$1 Million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, a mile: My exacta box is Smart Seattle, Lisa’s Kitten and Tapestry, all winners at the distance.

A surprising number horses pre-entered in this year’s 14 Breeders’ Cup races are looking to defend their titles or register their second victory in the 26th renewal of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
Six of the 166 horses are defending their 2008 Breeders’ Cup titles, three are gunning for repeat victories in a different race and one hopes to triumph again after a three-year interval during the Oak Tree at Santa Anita Park meeting.
Thirty-seven thoroughbreds were pre-entered in two races during the two-day event, but a final choice must be made Tuesday when post positions are drawn.

Breeders’ Cup officials, not to be outdone by President Obama, have decided this is the year of change for the 26th renewal of the Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships.
Early on two fan friendly changes were made. First, tickets to the Breeders’ Cup races at Santa Anita Park during the Oak Park meeting were made available online for the first time.
Secondly, those hard-to-read purple saddlecloths were pulled in favor of the more sensible variety of colors used at North American tracks. Naturally, the purple saddlecloth with the traditional No. 10 remains.
