Richwood Silver - next time, she got a good race into her and was pretty exciting until the last eight. Had a good fun day at Keeneland's closing day and finally got to meet NC Tony in person. Cashed about $450 on the Classic.

I thought this year's BC overall was a good, exciting one - a good day of horse racing!

we're all still going to turn in, watch, and wager regardless of what they run it on. doesn't mean we have to like the surface itself.

hell, i had a great two days at arl, but i'm still looking forward very much to oaklawn in jan.

I was up $300 hundred yesterday thanks to a couple pick 3's around Maram. A friend and I threw $100 each into the early pick4 today...and busted out first leg Didn't get a whole lot better after that. Ended up giving all $300 back plus another $160 on top of that. I bet $20WP on Into Mischief (Thanks Honu )as I was leaving and got a text message later telling me he won. So getting back $130 and that will put me down $30 over the 2 days.
If Eagle Mountain gets up, I win a bundle. Had a couple pick 3's and a few nice Doubles to him as well

I Have An Unused Breeders Ticket For Today And A 500 Buck Beating From My Hotel Room In Burbank. But Other Than That It Was A Very Relaxing Time. Hanging Out With Mr Byk.

That all/Zenyatta/all (as bad a bet as it was) paid a tad more than 5 cents.

actually had a very good day on BC day for once. Hit the triple in the Turf and was on fire late but unfortunately sat on my late Pick 4 (8-11). Had Raven's Pass, but didn't bet him to win as he was included on my Pick 4 ticket, and didn't have the exacta. Then nailed the 10th, but didn't bet the race as I had 1.6,12 in my Pick 4, they ran 6-1. Alive to the 6 and 8 in the 11th and miss by a neck for 2300...still up so I'm somewhat happy, but it could've been a very good day.

I had the Stardom Bound-Dream Empress exacta for $10 on Friday and win bets on Donativum and Conduit on Saturday to save me. Once it was said and done, I was up $14 for the 2 days.

I had my best Cup day by far.. SPent many hours Wed thru Friday handicapping and about 5 hours on Sat planning my bets.
I focused on the P3's and went pretty deep on multiple tickets. Hit quite a few and some winners were losers Was in position to
cash 4 pick 4's and 2 pick 3's in the classic but Raven's Pass cleared away those chips. Highlights

R1) 1,5,9 Ex Box 665.00
R1) 4,5,6,7/6,8,9,11,13,14/1,7,8,9 P3 > 5261.50
R2) 6,8,9,11,13,4/3,6,7,8,9,10/2,4,6 > 1181.9

congrats.
but how did you have desert code?? i went back and looked at the pps after the race, and still didn't see anything. i think they said his was the second biggest bc payoff behind arcangues-i don't think anyone will ever top that payoff.

i told my husband (we're about to have to plan vacations for next year, he has to turn in his dates by nov 1) that i wanted to go to the bc next year....he said whatever. but i doubt we do it. maybe i'll just make the trip to hot springs or go down to la to make bets.

Thats what cell phones are for.

I came real close, but no cigar. I thought Santa Anita was a good venue for the cup this year.

Think about a new travel agent for next year.

Same for me with Desert Code except for the fact that he had been going a route of ground which helped at the end with the speed being out of gas. I had the exacta pounded with 6/8 and die when Mig split horses to beat me.

I was looking for a similar type horse but landed on Storm Treasure. Got my show money, at least. My first pick was Diabolical. A typical exacta for me - finished second and third.

I bet Desert Code because he had a very good record on the course and had a jock familiar with the downhill run. If he was 10-1 i probably wouldnt have bet him but at 30-1 (his odds when I bet) he was a good play. It is a tricky course for horses and riders and Mig made a huge move by saving ground crossing over the main and angling out. That wasnt exactly the trip I envisioned for the horse but it did work.

That race screamed CLOSER and Storm Treasure was the one. I try to find the turf miler and just couldn't see Desert Code as that horse. Stupid me.

I stop giving my $$ after the 3rd race...I could see it was going to be "one of those" days for me and I was better off keeping my $$ in the bank.

(Plus, I was a bit distracted to concentrate on what was going on anyhow. )

Personally, I think it was like just a tad too many races...Breeder's Cup is'nt what is has been for me in years past thats for sure.. Could almost give 2
sh!ts anymore....sad.
