Sovereignty Shines, Pick 6 Chaos & Breeders’ Cup Buzz | Past the Wire TV
‘Big Race Jim’ Gazzale @JimGazzale is back with another edition of Sunday Morning Coffee on Past the Wire TV, breaking down an action-packed Travers Day at Saratoga where Sovereignty delivered as expected, favorites dominated, and the betting windows left players buzzing.
Jim dives into:
• Sovereignty’s commanding Travers win and where he stacks up in the Horse of the Year race alongside Journalism
• Why the $145 Pick 6 payout left bettors frustrated and how near-miss results on horses like Patch Adams, Captain Cook, Book’em Dano, and Dorth Vader shaped the card
• Strategies for balancing favorites and value plays on big racing days
• A must-bet replay angle from the Lake Placid Stakes, showing why watching head-ons matters
• A strong take on Bet Share tickets and why high-priced group bets on ADWs could be damaging the sport’s long-term growth
• Breeders’ Cup scenarios, including how Journalism, Sovereignty, and Sierra Leone could collide for championship honors Plus, Jim previews the Jockey Club Gold Cup and looks ahead to a fascinating fall racing season on the road to the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
