My first upside ....is the weather. Its highly doubtful that it is going to "down pour" like Monmouth last year. The downside, for me, is that I did do very well with the sloppy and yelding tracks.

Serious or less Serious is fine with me...I leave it to each of you to sort out which may be good upsides or not.

I'm sticking to my vow to not bet the Breeders Cup in protest of the creation of b.s. races to puff up the two-day schedule in order to make more money, and in protest of "ladies day," which forces you to buy tickets for both days if you want to see the best fillies and mares as well as the best colts and horses, and in protest of the apparent intent to never run it anywhere, in the future, other than Santa Anita, Belmont and, maybe CD.

Incidentally, Jay Cronley also claimed, in his most recent article, that the mud was kind to him last year at Monmouth: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/hor...jay&id=3629870
