Horse Racing Odds: Delta Jackpot Favorites
December 3rd, 2007Don’t put away your tail combs just yet. The horse racing season doesn’t end with the Breeders’ Cup; there are still plenty of graded stakes races left in the winter session, including the $1-million Delta Jackpot Stakes at Delta Downs on Dec. 7.
This is a Grade III Juvenile event, but the seven-figure purse ensures the highest level of competition. Nineteen pre-entries were taken in November; they’ll be whittled down to 10 on Tuesday. We do know that Golden Yank has qualified. This 2-year-old burst on the scene in October by winning his debut over six furlongs, then claiming the MEC Mile before his impressive showing at the Jean Lafitte – thus qualifying for Dec. 7.
Other viable favorites for the Delta Jackpot include Slew’s Tiznow, Old Man Buck and Z Humor, all with podium finishes at the Breeders’ Cup. Sky Cape, St. Joe and Briarwood Circle are also in position to make the field.
