Breeders' Cup Distaff Odds Favor Fleet Indian
Odds on the 2006 Distaff say Todd Pletcher has yet another winner in the shape of the aptly-named 5-year-old mare, Fleet Indian. This daughter of Indian Charlie and Hustleeta has galloped to victory in all six starts of 2006, after finishing up with back-to-back victories in 2005. Given this outstanding record, it's not difficult to the 2/1 odds on Fleet Indian for November 4th (current Breeders' Cup odds).
On the other hand challenger Balleto hasn't had a won a race in a couple of years, although she's come been the runner-up in four of her last five races -- last time losing by a head to none other than Fleet Indian. Trainer Tom Albertrani says that Saturday's Distaff would be a great time for her to break her losing streak -- no doubt! The odds have her at 27/5.
This re-match of Belmont's Beldame Stakes promises to bring a lot of excitement to the Distaff. And don't forget Phipps Stable's Pine Island, also at 27/5. Under the tutlege of Shug McGaughey this 3-year-old has seen wins in her last two races, including Saratoga's $600,000 Alabama Stakes.
Both Pine Island and Fleet Indian worked on Sunday, with Fleet Indian breezing five furlongs in 1:02 4/5, and Pine Island posting 1:01 1/5 for her five-furlong breeze.
