We are just three weeks out from the Breeders\u2019 Cup when the best horses in the world compete over two days on network TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stakes races are slowing down for a few weeks in advance of the Breeders\u2019 Cup, but that doesn\u2019t mean Top Horse Pick of the Week is doing the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OCTOBER 12, 2019
KEENELAND RACE COURSE–LEXINGTON, KY
RACE 3–POST 2:12 PM ET
PURSE: $80,000
CONDITIONS: ALLOWANCE OPTIONAL CLAIMING $150,000
THREE YEAR OLDS AND UP
DISTANCE: SEVEN FURLONGS
SURFACE: DIRT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n


The third race from Keeneland is $150K claiming race, which means these horses can be bought out of the race for a tag (the price). And while the 3\/5 entry of #1 American Anthem and #1A Whereshetoldmetogo might look unbeatable in the PP\u2019s, their Pace Figures say otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP HORSE PICK OF THE WEEK: #5 COLONELSDARKTEMPER (10\/1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yes, he ran awful last week (but he bled). His Pace Figures coming out of the race were actually very good and there are no world beaters in here. If both horses in the entry run (we expect one of them to scratch), we will also play a 1-5 exacta along with the #5 to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
