Matt Gardner at And Down The Stretch They Come broke down some of the highlights from the other 13 events at the Breeders' Cup and gave his thoughts on the field. Former Kentucky Derby favorite Verrazano makes a return as the 3/1 favorite in Friday's Dirt Mile, but Gardner believes he may be vulnerable. In the race preceding the Classic, 2012 Horse of the Year Wise Dan is the favorite with even odds in the Mile.
