What are your plans on BC day?
 
I'm going to be watching football and eating chili. I'll flip to ESPN when it's post time. I can't watch all of the melodrama between races. Look, I know your kid has IBS and it's a pain in the rear but I don't give a crap.

Danzig 10-25-2007 10:53 AM

yeah, we'll be flipping between football, racing, and probably ps2. thank goodness for dvr.

Port Conway Lane 10-25-2007 11:08 AM

Driving 3 1/2 hours up I 95 through a rainstorm to sit in a wet $200 seat.

Sightseek 10-25-2007 11:08 AM

Watching every last bit of that melodrama and then heading out for a costume party.

Calling in bets with my father-in-law from his hospital room as he recovers from heart surgery. The guy sharing his room won't know what the hell is going on...

Guy is a freakin Trooper, got a blood transfusion last Friday before his surgery and still called in his picks for our Belmont Handicapping Pool on Saturday morning. THAT is dedication.

What’s up Derby Trailers! First time poster here. This is a great site for horse racing. My favorite day of the year is approaching fast.

My plan is to go down to my OTB early Saturday and make all my bets. On the way home I’m going to stop by the store and pick up some deli fixen’s. Then I will watch it @ home. I would watch & wager on it at the OTB or Turf Paradise but it’s so crowed at the OTB’s on Breeder cup day I think I’d rather make my bets and watch it on my big screen at home. I will definitely be flipping around to some college football too. Who’s going to lose in the top 5 this week?

People my age still rock it, when you get to certain you stop upgrading, even though I have played a Wii and it is bomb as hell. I play two games Madden 06 and March Madness 06, win the tourney with SIU every time I play

Working damn basketball practice from 730 am till 1130 AM...then home to catch the action. Nobody better get hurt:mad:

Don't these NCAA coaches know that this is a national holiday for us horseplayers...our super bowl sunday.

Our former coach never practiced on BC day...and we didn't win too many games either with him as our head coach:D

ninetoone 10-25-2007 01:04 PM

Driving to Joisey in the morning w/a friend of mine...I'll have my DT hat on to combat the rain...

opusone 10-25-2007 01:31 PM

Placing my wagers at the dog track (St. Pete). I will probably watch the 1st four BC races then finish at home.

Headed to Santa Anita with a friend to raise hell down in what we call the Dungeon with all the other railbirds. We go every Breeders Cup and make alot of noise, it's always a blast. Good luck to you all.

Hickory Hill Hoff 10-25-2007 06:18 PM

I'll be able to catch the first few races, then I gotta to be at my stepson's wedding @ 3pm.
Looks like I'll be watching the video of these races later on in the evening. Poor timing...but family comes first.

XIIPointStables 10-25-2007 06:56 PM

The Mohegan Sun Racebook.

Although I have not looked at a race since the Mass Cap. I'm not ready. I'm going to try and really pour over for a few hours on Friday night. But the more it rains, the less I'll bet.

Watch my UCONN HUSKIES knock off South Florida and drink some beers.

A good Saturday indeed.

hi_im_god 10-25-2007 07:11 PM
