but i think where i disagree with you the most is where you say a person should "press" if they start winning. to me that is not sound advice, and a good way to give back the $$ you earned with good capping skills.
stick to your gameplan!
oh and of course.....if you really don't like a race.....don't be afraid to skip it....or just bet $5 on it. Feeling that you must play every race is stupid....especially on bc day. at a normal day at the track....skipping a race is boring b/c you might not want to just sit back and enjoy a $12,000 maiden-claimer.....but if you lay off a bc race.....you can sit back and enjoy the race b/c of who the horses are......and just cheer on your $5 win bet.

Hey I have no problem with everyone having their own budget. But this is a day to go for it. And when I say press, I'm not saying to piss your money away on the next few races, but increase the % bankroll on exotics....I think every race you can make money on, even a chalky race with exotics. Therefore, there are no races I skip on BC day.
