Considering the tear he's been on this season, coupled with the success he's enjoyed at Santa Anita Park, it comes as no surprise that Game On Dude is the clear 2012 Breeders' Cup predictions frontrunner.
Santa Anita Park racetrack in Arcadia, CA, will be the site for the 2012 Breeders' Cup Classic, which takes place Saturday evening beginning at 8 PM ET on NBC.
Listed as a 9/5 favorite to win the $5 million first-place prize, the son of Awesome Again will face some stiff competition from a 12-horse field. After finishing 12th at the Dubai World Cup in March, Game On Dude has been unstoppable in 2012.
Winner of four out of the past 6 races he's entered, the 5-year-old Gelding is still getting used to his new jockey following the retirement of the beautiful Chantal Sutherland. The two-time Sovereign Award for Outstanding Apprentice Jockey winner announced her retirement in late October.
"The moment has come where I have decided to announce my retirement from being a professional jockey,? she said in a statement. ?Horse racing has been my life for the past 14 years. I crossed paths with a horse that happened to change my life. That horse is Game On Dude and what a horse!
?He's a soldier. Together we traveled the world. We won the Santa Anita Big Cap, Goodwood, almost won the Breeders' Cup Classic; we won the San Antonio, Hollywood Gold Cup, and the Californian. We raced in the world's richest race, the Dubai Duty Free World Cup.?
Game On Dude moves on with new jockey, Rafael Bejarano. The new duo captured the 2012 Awesome Again Stakes (G-1) last September. Game On Dude and Bejarano will face some stiff competition with a field that includes the following 2012 Breeders' Cup betting odds:
