OT: Breeders’ Cup Thread

[realHuskerDrew]

Big City Lights is one of my keys too.

Just so many slow horses and Mandella aint entering one just to mess around.

Not a fan of Kopion shortening up out of the 1-hole, and if Bentornato wins I’ll break even at best.

Several good horses that like the track, Big City Lights, Dr Venkman, Lovesick Blues.

I see some people out there like the Euro shipper but i am leery of those.
I do like Kopion, but just not a fan in general of taking the fillies when taking on the boys in the big time

i mean, there aren’t many Zenyattas out there

I don’t bet races unless I am at the track but I will certainly watch them.
good luck fellas

Because of the configuration of the DelMar track, horses' post positions will compromise horses with certain running styles and assist others at the same time.

$7,00,000 for the Longines Cup Classic? This is going to be crazy! Great trainers, jockeys, and most of all HORSES!

Yes, they're all a million or 2, or 3 or 5 million dollar race purses.

Had the pleasure to attend 10 straight Breeder's Cups from 2009 to 2018. Absolute blast, and way better for 'horse wagering afficionados' than the Kentucky Derby. You are around people that legitimately know about the sport and are serious horse players.

Good friend is in the BCBC contest this year.

Anyway, liking a few horses today:

R6 Juvy Turf Sprint: 10 Cy Fair
R8 Juvy Fillies Turf: 6 Switch in Love and 2 Queen of Hawaii
R9 Juvy: 1 Intrepido
R10 Juvy Turf: 3 Outfielder

Turf is firm, so Americans in these Juvy turf races have a better shot than normal.

I went to the BC's in 2008/9 or 2009/10 and had a blast.
The years Zenyatta won the Distaff then the Classic the next year.
I like 3 of your 4 picks 88.
Precise has scratched.
Mike Welsh had a lot of good things to say about Switch In Love.

 

[Husker88]

20 percent at best IMO.

Went to the KY Derby a couple of years. I'd wager at best, half the people actually attending the race even knew it is a race strictly for 3YOs.

Standing in betting line windows with people in $5K suits and $10K dresses and thousand dollar hats wagering $2 WPS show tickets on the favorite, or on numbers, or even colors. Purely a ridiculous crowd of people looking to party and/or be seen.

Blame was one of my biggest wagers I've ever made in 2010 when Zenyatta was looking to go 20-0, finish undefeated, and retire with back to back BC Classic wins.

We were legitimately the only people in our entire section at Churchill rooting for him down the stretch to beat the amazing Zenyatta. We seriously got some nasty looks from folks after the race.

We're good friends with both Mike Smith and John Shirreffs and Mike was devastated. Amazing thing is Garrett Gomez won on Blame and Mike was on Zenyatta. I made a ton of money on both those jocks when they were just bug boys.

We spent time with Zenyatta and my wife absolutely loved that mare. I didn't play the race but I was really bummed for the connections. Blame ran a helluva race for Al Stalls.

Cy Fair…beautiful.

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

Cy Fair…beautiful.

I was hoping she'd come and get 'em.

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

Throwing a few bucks on Comedy Town in this race.

Ran a solid 2nd at 12/1.

 

[TheRealPeliniTheCrutch]

My keys for a good day are Forever Young, Big City Lights, and Gezora.

 

[TheRealPeliniTheCrutch]

I also kinda went all in on Nysos.

Looks like Goal Oriented is his main challenge.

 

[Husker88]

R6 Sprint: 2 Banishing
R7 Distaff: 2 Sarawak Rim
R8 Turf: 3 Amiloc
Classic: 5 Forever Young
R10 Mile: 10 Jonquil 3 Sahlan

Luck's got nuttin' to do with it.

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

I love Bentornato in the sprint

edit: I like him, but I am leery of taking the chalk

Helluva run, nice job, hope you cracked him good.
I played him as a saver with a couple long shots, but they were nowhere to be found at the finish.

So...., trainer Jose D'Angelo wins the Turf Sprint and Dirt Sprint in back to back races by open lengths.

One race isn't normal. Back to back races is far from normal.

It looked a little too easy considering the sprint fractions.

 

[TheRealPeliniTheCrutch]

This track is playing kinda ridiculous IMO.

 

[Husker88]

Feels so good.

Bet Forever Young both times in America.

Amazing horse and I get rewarded today.

Good friend is still alive in the BCBC, and a chance to take down a serious amount of $.

Any horses you like 123?

A decent ending, I hit the trifecta in the classic. But that was a smaller amount than what I had with Sierra Leone on top but I’ll take it.
Other than Bentornato today was forgettable.
I did end up going with Twin Spires so now I can play at Living Room downs anytime
Had never actually used it before

Living Room Downs is amazing.

HorseTourneys. com is waiting for you.

I really don't care for the last 3 races. Sorry, I planned on a day till just before the kickoff.
Good luck if you're playing anything.

Those tourneys are hard to take down cause you almost have to play a lot of chalk, and that is not my game. I wish your buddy well!!

It is so nice to just sit at home and not have to mess with those twice a year "fans"

 

[skerbball]

Gezora ran fantastic in the filly and mare turf. Cleaned up my day. Can’t believe the trifecta payout in the Distaff.. 7/1, 3/1, and 30/1 in an 12 horse field and the 50 cent only pays $163?!?! CAW!

 

[Husker88]

My keys for a good day are Forever Young, Big City Lights, and Gezora.

Wish I wasn't so many adult drinks in and celebrating Forever Young that I couldn't fire the amazing price on Gezora.

Damn, thought she would actually be the favorite and you get $20 to win on her with very logicals underneath for a $262 Trifecta. Last race of the weekend was the best wager of the weekend.

Nice picks RPTC. Well done.

Thanks…it was a good finish for what had been a long day to that point for me.

Anytime I see odds on foreign horses like Gezora on BC day float up so much, I start worrying about what is wrong with them.

If you've never seen it, I follow the AtTheRaces website.

This is their Breeders Cup https://breederscup.attheraces.com/racecards

I use it quite a bit to see what the Euros are wagering especially on Breeders Cup with turf races and the Dubai and Saudi Cup days. Amazing information and all for free.

One of the best things about Breeders Cup weekend is that you only have to be right once or twice to make some good money.
