Charting Horse Value charts course to Breeders' Cup profits

One year after Japan-based horses won their first two Breeders' Cup races, the Land of the Rising Sun returns to amber waves of grain with a singular chance at consecutive World Championships victories, and Jeff Bessa of Charting Horse Value thinks it is a very good chance at a very big price.

Charting Horse Value includes all races this weekend at Keeneland plus writeups like for all of the Breeders' Cup races. It is included in the Horse Racing Nation Everything Package, a Breeders' Cup compendium that also includes Super Screener, Doug Salvatore's video/replay analysis of five Breeders' Cup turf races, and HRN's exclusive data all for $99.

Chain of Love is the lone Japanese entrant in this year's World Championships Nov. 4-5 at Keeneland Race Course, and Bessa writes in his product for the two-day event that he thinks the Filly & Mare Sprint fits her style.

"I think closers will do unusually well," Bessa writes. "Chain of Love was second-to-last early in the Golden Shaheen and closed like a freight train to take fourth. This one appears to have been targeting this race and comes in fresh. I respect the Japanese contingent. This one has been racing against the boys and really turned it around when switched to dirt.

"My top pick at 20-1."

Japan won both the Filly and Mare Turf and Distaff last year with Loves Only You and Marche Lorraine, respectively.
