The Bernadini colt goes into the event unbeaten in three career starts, and last time out won the Premio Gran Criterium at San Siro in Italy, grinding it out to beat Mick Channon’s filly Singapore Lady (rated just 80), by a very hard fought half-a-length. At the time the form looked incredibly weak for a supposed Group 1 event, (I would suggest the standard was little better than a run-of-the mill British listed race), and the runner-up hardly franked the race by being a well beaten third at odds-on in a moderate Group 3 race at the same track next time out.
All credit though to Mahmood Al Zarooni for finding such an easy Group 1 for his horse who had previously won a three-runner Kempton conditions race to follow up his Newmarket maiden win on debut. Running for the first time on dirt, at a sharp track such as Churchill Downs where the emphasis is very much on speed, and racing on Lasix for the first time in his life, I believe that everything is against Biondetti proving good enough to warrant the entry. There are certainly better Irish racing tips out there.
It’s very hard to get a grip on the US Juvenile form, but clearly those opposing the Godolphin runner are amongst the pick of the local crop, and with experience of the underfoot conditions and racing on home soil there will surely be a few too good for Biondetti on this occasion and the racing tips reflect this.
Racing is all about opinions and I am more than prepared to have got this one wrong and offer an apology should Biondetti streak home, hard held by five lengths, but I really believe that his form is some way below the required Breeders’ Cup Juvenile standard.
