Andy Serling Picks Breeders Cup 2022 | Andy Serling Predictions

Andy Serling is sticking with Flightline as his top favorite to win the 2022 Breeders Cup Classic. Although the field is stronger this time around, the horse racing analyst believes this race will be won by the 4-year-old colt. There’s one horse he’s not keen on. “I’m a huge Life Is Good fan,” explains Serling. Other Andy Serling picks are on the main page.

“I think he’s a terrific racehorse who’s had a terrific career. I just don’t know if this is going to be the right race for him.” As for the main threat to Flightline, Serling thinks it’s Epicenter. He recorded a 112 beyer at the Travers Stakes back in August. Plus, Taiba has 8-1 odds to win the Breeders Cup. Taiba has potential to win.

Flightline (+375) at BetOnline | Breeders Cup Expert Picks

Andy Serling is not expecting Flightline to run as well as did back in September’s Pacific Classic. Therefore, he’s not anticipating the competition to finish 19 1/4 lengths behind the leader. While Serling is predicting that Life Is Good will hold his own against Flightline earlier on, the handicapper cannot picture Life Is Good defeating him.

“We saw in the Matt mile that he can win under adversity,” said Serling. “He didn’t break, he rushed up — a good horse at that time — Speakers Corner shut him off. He had to make a trip out of that, and he still ran a 112 beyer. And he won very impressively in a big race.”

 

Epicenter (+500) at BetOnline | Andy Serling Picks for Breeders Cup 2022

Epicenter has 5-1 odds to win the 2022 Breeders Cup Classic. Serling believes the 3-year-old colt has the best shot of upsetting Flightline. “If he runs fast enough that Flightline gets softened up and he’s taking a step forward, he could be real competition for Flightline,” mentioned Serling.

“I think he makes it very dangerous for him.” Epicenter’s racing record is 6-4. In August, Epicenter won the Grade I Travers Stakes. Coming off two Grade I race wins, Serling thinks Epicenter has the speed to outrun the 3-5 favorite on Saturday.

 

Taiba (+800) at BetOnline | Andy Serling Breeders Cup 2022 Predictions

Taiba has 8-1 odds to win the 2022 Breeders Cup Classic. Serling has liked what he’s seen from the 3-year-old colt. “I am a gigantic Taiba fan,” said Serling. “I think he is a sensational racehorse, and he won the Pennsylvania Derby in his second career start just a month after breaking his Maiden at 6 furlongs.

Then, to show no real problems after running in the Derby — a race he just shouldn’t have run in where he ran 12th — run second to Haskell, probably was best that day… I think he’s going to make his presence felt in this race, along with Epicenter.

Are they likely to beat Flightline? No, they’re not. But they are not pushovers, and this pace could be pretty quick.” Other Andy Serling picks are on the main page.
