I don't know who's performance was worse - the jockey or the horse.

That was some ride he got!

But really, wasn't the result well within the realm of possibility given the weather situation? We all knew what the horse liked going in, and just had to weigh whether or not his B or C game in the bog would be enough to beat America's best A game horse.

It turns out it wasn't, but I'd hardly be pulling at the bit to trash the horse overall.

Well, that, and a bonehead ride.

It wasn't that great going in or coming out

I thought it was fantastic...

Overall, I thought this BC was awful, obviously due to the weather and track conditions. Too many extra variables to handicap with any confidence. If you guessed wrong about who would like the surface, you lost, if you guessed right, you won, or if you guessed right, but still bet like an idiot... well you get the picture. If it wasn't the BC, I never would have attempted betting this weekend.

Golfer brings up a good point. How many of us would have under normal circumstances played that track given the conditions? I was obviously disappointed that I didn't cash a single ticket the entire day, but the fact that most of the day was rather chalky contributed to that. Overall, I had a good time hanging with my friends and having some good food and plenty of drinks.

First Breeders Cup that I did'nt get excited about. I did'nt even make one bet. I did look forward to the classic but my heart really never got to "racing" about any of it this year. Normally I study hard the night before with my ritual bowl of cheese dip and chips and have a blast but not this year. Hell, I did'nt even take the day off of work like I normally did in years past.
I suppose hearing that it was going to be a sloppy yucky track just kinds took the fun out of it.

My opinion post BC would be biased, so i will not post that.

However, pre Breeders cup it was the least excited i think i had ever been about a breeders cup.

I get the impression that the breeders cup is losing fans year after year, no matter where it is staged. Why is this? price? is it becoming too 'intense'?
