Paul’s Plays: The Breeders’ Cup Picks of Paul Lo Duca
Gambling
Paul Lo Duca grew up a baseball and horse racing fan has been able to realize his dreams by working in both professions. Lo Duca spent 11 seasons in Major League Baseball, primarily as a catcher, and made four All-Star teams before retiring with a career batting average of .286 and 1,112 hits.
After his baseball career, Lo Duca paid his dues in the horse-racing broadcasting world, and he currently serves as an analyst with NYRA’s television team as well as for The Action Network.
For the 2018 Breeders’ Cup, he will be a guest correspondent for America’s Best Racing, providing social media and video coverage. Below are Paul’s plays for all 14 Breeders’ Cup races on Nov. 2-3 at Churchill Downs.
