Best bet for Breeders’ Cup weekend, November 2-4

Following Complexity’s Grade 1 triumph, Brown said, 'For a horse that has his speed, to carry it is impressive. He was bred for speed, but he's so strong and an outstanding talent, so his pedigree might not limit him. He's a rare horse, an exceptional horse.'

The Kentucky-bred colt has posted a pair of solid morning drills in preparation of the Juvenile and I think he will run his foes off their respective feet once again. He has yet to be headed in his brief career and, while there are numerous runners with pace in the Juvenile, none of those are as quick as Complexity.

Brown saddled the winner of the 2017 Juvenile with champion Good Magic, who was also making a third lifetime start and exiting a run in the Champagne. I think history will repeat itself.

BONUS

CODE OF HONOR (#11) (5-1) nearly went down early in the Champagne in a second lifetime performance. The Shug McGaughey trainee recovered in a big way, rallying late to be a clear second. I envision him coming on to complete the exacta once again.

A winner in his debut at Saratoga, the son of Noble Mission is an obvious talent and could post the biggest danger to Complexity in the latter stages of the Juvenile. It’s also a big positive that the mostly conservative McGaughey opts for this race instead of waiting for a pair of graded tests later in the season in New York.

I will be singling Complexity in most wagers with Code of Honor as my key runner underneath for the vertical exotics.
