I came up with only 4 winners on top between 2 days. They were Stardom Bound, Zenyatta, Muhannak and Goldikova for little value. Westphalia and Heart Shaped caused me to turn on Murtaugh for life. Albertus Maximus and Maram were my second choice as were Midshipman and Conduit. Ventura was my 3rd choice.

It was a "close but..." series for me.

It's was probably the best BC yet for me, selection wise and wagering wise. Three winners on top (Zenyatta, Goldikova & Midshipman) with two "value" plays winning also (Muhannek 12-1 & Donativum 5-1). Ventura, Maram, Stardom Bound, Together Forvever, Midnight Lute as exotic uses. Cashed on every type of wager but a pick 3 or 4. Even cashed a few "huge" show wagers.

BC day is always tough, plus i'm sure many of those "pro" cappers had no idea about how SA plays cause they are busy following their own tracks.

Thanks it's usually the other way around most "big" days though.

Am I missing something here? What on earth did Murtagh do wrong on Westphalia? Surely he gave it a plum ride and was beaten by a better horse, no?
