2021 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf odds, horses, line: National handicapping champion offers picks for Friday's $1 million race
Jonathon Kinchen, who won $366,000 at last year's Breeders' Cup, offers his handicapping analysis and picks for this year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar
Europe's top 2-year-old turf horses square off with North America's top 2-year-old turf horses when the starting gate opens in the 2021 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf on Friday at Del Mar in Del Mar, Calif. Irish bred Dubawi Legend has been installed as the lukewarm 4-1 morning-line favorite in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf odds. Six other horses in the 14-horse field are 10-1 or shorter.
Post time for the $1 million race is 8:30 p.m. ET. With an accomplished field ready to enter the starting gate on Friday, you'll want to hear how handicapping champion Jonathon Kinchen has broken down the race.
Kinchen is one of the nation's most successful and recognizable horseplayers. An analyst for Fox Sports' America's Day at the Races, Kinchen won the National Horseplayers Championship Tour in 2015, a demanding, yearlong series of handicapping events across the country. And at last year's Breeders' Cup, Kinchen finished second out of 418 contestants in the prestigious Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge, which earned him $215,000 in prize money. After factoring in his profit during the 14 Breeders' Cup races, he took home more than $366,000 on the day.
Anyone who has followed him is up big.
Since its inception in 2007, the Juvenile Turf has been dominated by European runners. Nine of the 14 runnings have been won by runners from across the Atlantic. Trainer Aidan O'Brien has won the race four times, but on Friday he has only one entrant, Glounthaune, a 12-1 long shot. Fellow European trainer Charlie Appleby brings over two contenders, Modern Games (5-1) and Albahr (6-1).Â
Now, Kinchen has handicapped the 2021 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf and constructed his wagers.
One surprise: For the 2021 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, Kinchen is high on Glounthaune, O'Brien's 12-1 long shot. "He has some nice speed figures and is a logical horse you want to use," he says. Kinchen is using Glounthaune prominently on his tickets.
However Kinchen's top pick is another double-digit long shot who is "going to work out a nice trip." He is using this long shot in his wagers, and so should you. You NEED to see Kinchen's analysis before making any Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf picks of your own.
