Richard’s Kid Odds 2009 Breeders Cup Classic: The Pacific Classic upset winner Richard’s Kid galloped at Santa Anita Thursday morning, getting ready for his run at the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday in post position 6. The 2009 Breeders Cup Classic Betting Odds makers at Sportsbook.com have Richard’s Kid at 12-1 odds to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Trainer Bob Baffert was rather quiet about his 4yo son of Lemon Drop Kid but commented; “Things have to go right for him, he’s a horse that you’re in there and you’re just hoping you might be lucky enough to hit the board,” he said. “But then, you never know what’s going to happen.”

I’m always weary of those kind of comments so I won’t be surprised at a strong finish.

On Oct. 10, Grade I  at the  Goodwood Stakes, Santa Anita, 1 1/8 Milem Richard's Kid finished third, beaten a length by the winner Gitano Hernando,. He was sixth at the stretch call, so he finished very well.

Alex Solis, aboard Richard's Kid: “He came running. He ran big. I was very happy with his effort. He finally leveled off the last sixteenth of a mile. He finished flying, but the wire came up a little too fast. God willing, this will set him up well for the next one, the Breeders’ Cup. I really liked the way he ran today. It was very encouraging for the next one.”
