LAS VEGAS -- The Breeders Cup -- held this year Friday and Saturday at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California -- constitutes two of my favorite betting days of the year.For those who dont know, the Breeders Cup (BC) is the championship day for horse racing and we get all the top horses from around the world. Every year, there are big upsets and huge payoffs. This happens because these are all high-quality horses, yet many of them get overlooked by the betting public and go off at higher odds than you would ever see them in regular races -- and odds in excess of their true chances to win.Since 1999, Ive picked every BC race in print or online in the pages of the weekly GamingToday newspaper here in Vegas, then as the Las Vegas correspondent for Daily Racing Form, at my ViewFromVegas.com website (where my winners and record of a $3.28 for every $2 wagered is documented) and now for Chalk.This year, Im joined in handicapping some of the races by ESPN senior researcher Chris Fallica. You probably know him as The Bear from College GameDay and from his college football picks here at Chalk, but hes a horse racing expert in his own right, having qualified for the NTRA National Handicapping Championship the past four years.Here is how were handicapping every Breeders Cup race:Saturday(Note: Santa Anita is hosting the BC this year, but Saturdays nine BC races are Nos. 4-12.)BC Juvenile Fillies (Santa Anita Race 4, approximate post 3:05 p.m. ET)Dave Tuley: The 1-2 finishers from the Alcibiades at Keeneland -- Dancing Rags and Daddys Lil Darling -- arent being given much respect due to their relatively slow times, but Daddys Lil Darling had to be shuffled back a little with horses playing bumper cars in front of her and she was still able to make a big move to finish second by length. If shes able to stick a little closer like she did in her win in the Pochahontas, I think she can win this. Since I like her, I have to include Dancing Rags as a long shot. Im also using Yellow Agate, who is 2-for-2 and adding Lasix, and Noted and Quoted, who is 1-for-1 on this track and trained by Bob Baffert. P. J. Dozier Jersey .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Jamal Murray Jersey . The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. https://www.cheapnuggets.com/947y-michael-porter-jr-jersey-nuggets.html . 31, the CFL club announced Monday. The team also has yet to decide on the future of Doug Berry, who began the season as a consultant to the head coach but took over the offensive co-ordinators duties in July. Gary Harris Jersey . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week. Ty Lawson Jersey . Reigning world champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland opened with a 12-2 rout of Winnipegs Jennifer Jones in a battle of teams bound for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. BARCELONA, Spain -- The president of the Spanish football league said hes worried Lionel Messi could leave to play in another country after being found guilty of tax fraud.Javier Tebas also defended Messis innocence on Friday, two days after a court ruled the Barcelona forward and his father defrauded the state of 4.1 million euros ($4.6 million) of unpaid taxes from revenues generated from image rights.Of course I fear that (Messi) could leave, Tebas said at an event in the Catalan capital. But the only thing I can tell him is that from La Liga we believe he isnt guilty and that he should stay in Spanish football. I dont think Leo Messi is a delinquent.On Wednesday, a court sentenced Messi and his father, Jorge Horacio Messi, to 21 months in prison. The court also fined Messi 2 million euros and his father 1.5 million euros.In Spain, sentences of less than two years for first offences are usually suspended, meaning neither man will likely go to jail.Messi and his father, who have denied any wrongdoing, hhave appealed the verdict to a higher court in Madrid.ddddddddddddBarcelona quickly expressed its support of Messi following the ruling, saying it believed he and his father were innocent.A record five-time winner of the Ballon dOr for the worlds best player, Messi is facing the most difficult moment in his glorious career.He announced last month he would no longer play for Argentina following its loss in the Copa America final. That was his third lost Copa America final to go with a defeat in the final of the 2014 World Cup.Messi moved to Spain at age 13 to join Barcelonas youth program. Hes gone on to score a club record 453 goals, and win four Champions League titles and eight Spanish league titles, among other trophies.He has repeatedly said he wont play for another European club, preferring to spend his best years at Barcelona before finishing his career back in Argentina.
