Too bad there was no such contest of any kind ending on BC day of '09. My worst Breeders Cup's from a betting standpoint always seem to be at Churchill. I hope that trend doesn't continue. |

I thought you nailed the sprint pretty good, and went pretty wide open in the distaff, with your prediction that Riboletta was going to break down in the race and not finish. |

My brilliant stand against Riboletta was wasted with Lukas running 1-2 and Spain winning. Your star Macho Uno held off Point Given. I had a few nice bet againsts that year - but I really sucked that day. Remember when we put the P6 ticket together in 2001 - and those guys used my poor BC record against me? |

![]() 2008 and 2009 were very good. Set a 200 budget per race to play P3's with 1 very deep ticket per for about 100 and 100 with more isolated tickets. Hit a 5K and 1K in 2008 and another 1K in 2009, Still broken up missing the totally gettable Vale of York and the 6K P3 (Euro First Lasix, Hockey's contest pick).
Worst by far was Monmouth where I totally overhandicapped for the conditions. I was too caught up in Wet Pedigree instead of simply focusing on who was the best horses in the race.. |

![]() I started playing the BC in 2004 and have only had one winning year. The rest were disasters.
2006 was my only winning year. Win bet on Maryfield in the F&M Sprint, and also singled her in the Pick 3. A large win bet on English Channel on Day 2 also helped.

![]() 1996 was good. Had Lit de Justice, Storm Song, Boston Harbor, and a win/place bet on Louis Quatorze. Was disappointed we didn't get to see Yanks Music.
2000 was beyond depressing. Woke up that morning and wrote down my plays for the day, which included win bets on Kona Gold, War Chant, Perfect Sting, and others. I did not bet Spain, in spite of the fact that I had played her in almost every race in which she ran since the previous year's BC Juvenile Fillies. Definitely one of my favorite horses at that time. So when she won at 50-1, I spent the rest of the day trying to catch lightning in a bottle by playing horses that I "liked". Played More Than Ready instead of Kona Gold. Played some Shadwell horse who had just won at Keeneland instead of War Chant. Played someone other than Perfect Sting. Left very unhappy. 2001 was my best ever. Didn't hit sh*t until the Turf. Pounded Fantastic Light. And played a huge cold double with him and Tiznow, whom I also pounded to win. Also had the exacta with Sakhee 10 times, and I think it paid $140 or so. 2005 was my worst day of gambling ever, as I cashed zero tickets, and lost an amount so horrific that I don't want to repeat it. No one would believe me anyway. I wish NBC would get the Cup back. |
