Handicappers Ed DeRosa and Sara Elbadwi go through the Grade 1 events, including Friday's Alcibiades. The Saturday races covered include the First Lady, the Breeders' Futurity and the Turf Mile. 

Bettors looking for more picks, analysis and suggested wagers for the Breeders' Cup prep races can purchase the Breeders' Cup Super Screener. A proven winning product for several years, purchasing now guarantees coverage for the last of the preps in addition to the Breeders' Cup races the first weekend in November.
