I wagered that General Admission tickets might be a good angle to just get in the door of the 2008 Breeders' Cup.


It turned out I was way correct.

Full access to the paddock and birds eye views up close from anywhere I wanted to be inside the racing surface all day long. Or the apron. Or standing in The Grandstand.

The bad was I had my worst day of wagering in maybe the last decade.

I NEVER bet every race when I go to a track. On that day though, I did.

The only ticket I collected was on a hunch bet my wife had... that I thought had a chance. By that race I was already playing on my heels and fortunately just bet "Square Eddie" nicely to place. Which he did.

I left a loser at the windows for the day, but I was happy I was at The Breeders' Cup for less than $20 a seat, and parking had been a breeze. I usually budget to play with about $300 a day, but on that particular occasion I think I lost about $500 at the windows.

I chalked my wagering losses up to $$ sort of well spent.

The weather was hot, but beautiful...and the cerveza was muy frio..
