Here are my thoughts:
How can anyone bet these races?
For me World Cup day is a day to watch and not to wager. If I wanted to just straight-up gamble I would go play the slots. There are people on here who are much better handicappers than I am, so maybe they feel confident comparing the quality of races & horses from 6 different continents, but I know I don't. One of the biggest aspects of handicapping is about figuring out which horses to toss. How can I do that when I don't know a thing about a horse's trainer or level of past competition? I can read the level they competed at in Australia and/or Narnia or wherever these horses competed at in the pp, but it doesn't really mean much to me.
I'd rather play Hawthorne's card.
