Over the last 10 years, there have been few horses more popular than California Chrome, who became a national star after winning the 2014 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. His achievements are impressive -- hes the highest-earning U.S.-based racehorse of all time -- and his recent victory over Dortmund in the San Diego Handicap was eye-catching and gritty.On Saturday, California Chrome (#1) will run in the $1-million TVG Pacific Classic at Del Mar, and hell be facing a deep field that might be the toughest to line up against him since the 2014 Breeders Cup Classic. Debating whether he could be vulnerable to defeat is a whole discussion in and of itself, but lets assume that youre a big fan of California Chrome and want to make money betting him to win. What is the best approach for making a big score?Since hes the 8-5 favorite on the morning line, a straight win bet wont pay very much - a $10 bet at 8-5 would return just $26. So lets instead focus on playing him on top of the trifecta and superfecta and try to identify the horses most likely to round out the top four.The most logical candidates are Beholder (#7), a three-time champion mare who won the Pacific Classic last year, and Dortmund (#8), a Grade 1 winner that was beaten just a half-length by California Chrome in the San Diego Handicap. In terms of accomplishments and speed figures, they are both capable of giving California Chrome a stiff challenge, but all three of these horses share similar running styles - if they get involved in a stiff duel during the race, it wouldnt be surprising if one falters and allows a late-runner to rally and finish in the trifecta.Hoppertunity (#2) is one such horse. Hes incredibly consistent and has finished in the superfecta in 19 of his 20 races. Back in March, he finished a solid third behind California Chrome in the Dubai World Cup and after a layoff, he was beaten just 2-? lengths when fourth in the Gold Cup at Santa Anita on June 25. However, he missed the Cougar II Handicap last month due to a temperature, and he was doubtful to be entered in the Pacific Classic as recently as a few days ago. Its also worth noting that he finished fourth in his previous two races at Del Mar, and for these reasons, I think he could be vulnerable.In contrast, Hard Aces (#4) enters the Pacific Classic in arguably the best form of his career, with runner-up efforts in the Santa Anita Handicap and Californian Stakes among his performances. Most recently, he showcased a complete change of running style to set a slow pace in the 12-furlong Cougar II Handicap and prevail by a half-length. I think he will relish the distance of the Pacific Classic, and a fast pace would also help his chances - I think he has a big chance to finish on the board.I would also include Dalmore (#9), a 3-year-old that gamely reeled in Danzing Candy to win the 8.5-furlong Affirmed Stakes last month by a half-length. This is a big step up in class, but he strikes me as an improving colt that will enjoy more distance and possibly out-finish many of his older rivals.Wagering Strategy A: Trifectas$5 trifecta: 1 with 7,8 with 7,8 ($10) $2 trifecta: 1 with 7,8 with 4,9 ($8) $2 trifecta: 1 with 4,9 with 4,7,8,9 ($12)Wagering Strategy B: Superfectas$2 superfecta: 1 with 7,8 with 7,8 with 2,4,9 ($12) $1 superfecta: 1 with 7,8 with 4,9 with 2,7,8 ($8) $0.50 superfecta: 1 with 4,9 with 4,7,8,9 with 2,4,7,8,9 ($9)Good luck, and enjoy the race!For more stories like this check out Americas Best Racing.Custom Cleveland Indians Jerseys Cheap .
