2017 Breeders' Cup Mile Field & Odds at Del Mar

Ribchester 7-2

Irish bred Richard Fahey trained colt has 15 career starts and has hit the board in 14 - six wins, five seconds and three third-place finishes. He arrives off a quality second in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Ascot October 21, a good win in the Group 1 Qatar Prix de Moulin de Longchamp in France September 10, a second in the Group 1 Qatar Sussex Stakes in Britain August 2 and two terrific wins - the Group 1 Queen Ann Stakes at Ascot June 20 and the Group 1 Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in May.

World Approval 9-2

Mark Casse trained gelding has 10 wins, two seconds and four third place finishes in 23 career starts. He put his name on the radar with a win in July, 2015 in the G3 American Derby and has been decent since. Last time out was a good win in the G1 Woodbine Mile September 16 which followed a nice bounce back 2 1/4 length win in the G1 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga August 12 and a bit of a disappointment - a fifth in the G1 Manhattan Stakes at Belmont Park June 10. Before that was a good 2 1/4 length win with a 106 Beyer Speed Figure in the G2 Dixie Stakes at Pimlico May 20, an easy 2 1/4 length win in the minor EG Vodka Turf Classic at Tampa Bay April 2 and six months away. Other quality results include an OK third in the G1 Northern Dancer Turf Stakes at Woodbine last September 17, a win in the G1 United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park July 3, 2016, an OK third behind the terrific Flintshire in the 2016 Manhattan Stakes at Belmont Park June 11, 2016, a second in the G1 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic May 7, 2016 and another second in the G2 Muniz Memorial Handicap at Fair Grounds last March. World Approval has won four of his last five starts overall and will be out to build on a two-race win streak Saturday from post 5.

Suedios 6-1

French Bred David O'Meara trained gelding has 32 career starts with eight wins, eight seconds and seven third-place finishes. He made his North American debut October 7 and promptly won the G1 Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland after a nice win in the Group 2 Clipper Logistics Solonaway Boomerang Stakes in Britain September 9, an OK third in the Group 3 City of York Stakes August 25, another third in the Group 2 Qatar Lennox Stakes August 1 and a seventh in the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. He also produced a Group 3 score overseas in 2015. Suedios has been trending upward ahead of this week and looks for his second straight graded stakes score. He leaves from gate 8.

Roly Poly 6-1

Finished ninth in this race last year and has been good since. Last time out was a good win in the Group 1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes in Britain October 7 after a somewhat disappointing sixth in the Group 1 Coolmore Fastnet Rock Matron Stakes overseas September 9 and two nice Group 1 wins - the Prix Rothschild in France July 30 and the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes July 14.

In 2014, he had a nice three race win streak as well - all stakes races. Heart to Heart now has 13 wins (nine graded stakes), five seconds and three third place finishes in 31 career starts and has placed in six of his seven six starts ahead of this weekend with three stakes wins over that span. He departs from gate 2 Saturday.

Ballagh Rocks 12-1

Bill Mott trained colt has five wins, two seconds and three third-place finishes in his 14 career starts. He won three straight Allowance races this past winter including an Allowance Optional Claiming at Gulfstream January 20 but didn't looked great in two starts after that - a seventh in the G1 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic at Churchill Downs May 6 followed a fourth in the G1 Maker's 46 Mile April 14. Last time out was an OK third in the G1 Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland October 7 after another third in the G1 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga August 12 and a career-best effort - a win in the G3 Poker Stakes at Belmont Park June 18.

Midnight Storm 15-1

He enters this week off a second in the G1 Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita September 3 after consecutive fourths - the G2 Del Mar Mile August 20 and the competitive G1 Gold Cup at Santa Anita May 27. Those results followed an OK third in the G2 Oaklawn Handicap April 15, a second after fading in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap March 11 and a nice two race win streak - the G2 San Pasqual Stakes by 1 1/4 lengths January 1, and by an impressive 7 3/4 lengths in the G3 Native Diver Stakes at Del Mar November 27 - both in gate-to-wire fashion. Before that was his OK third in the 2016 Breeders' Cup Mile and wins in the 2016 G2 Del Mar Mile, the G2 Eddie Read Stakes and in the 2016 G1 Shoemaker Mile at Santa Anita. Midnight Storm now has 10 wins, five seconds and two third place finishes in 26 career starts and will be out to snap a five-race losing streak from the rail.

Lancaster Bomber 20-1

Aidan O'Brien trained colt has just one win in his 13 career starts to go along with four second-place finishes. He finished second in the 2016 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf but has been just OK since.

Zelzal 20-1

Jean Claude Rouget trained French bred colt has four wins, a second and a third-place finish in his nine career starts. He makes his North American Debut Saturday having failed to place in his last two starts - a sixth last time out in the Group 1 Qatar Prix de la Foret at home followed a fourth in the Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood August 2.

Zelzal hasn't exactly been on top of his game lately but has shown some serious form in the past. He departs from gate 6.

Home of the Brave 20-1

Irish bred Hugo Palmer trainee has 17 career starts with six wins, four seconds and two third-place finishes. He finished eleventh in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint last year and has been decent since - a third last time out in the Group 3 Alan Wood Plumbing & Heating Park Stakes in Britain followed a second in the Group 2 Qatar Lennox Stakes at Goodwood August 1 and two straight wins - the Group 3 Betway Criterion Stakes July 1 and the minor Richard III Stakes in April.

Mr. Roary 30-1

George Papaprodromou trained gelding has four wins, two seconds and two third-place finishes in 18 career starts. He arrives off a nice win in the G3 Eddie D Stakes at Santa Anita September 29 after an ugly thirteenth in the G2 Del Mar Handicap August 19, an OK third in the G3 Eddie Read Stakes on this track July 22, an Allowance Optional Claiming score at Santa Anita June 16 and eight months away. Before the layoff was an eighth in the G2 Twilight Derby at Santa Anita in November and another Allowance Optional Claiming score at Santa Anita last October. Mr. Roary hadn't been all that impressive in stakes action before last time out and will try to build on that effort from post 3.
