Is the SuperBowl the biggest day for football no matter where it is played?? Is the World Series the biggest event in baseball no matter where it is played??? The answer is Yes...

and I have the choice to spend and watch or just watch. I'm watching cause I love this sport, just not spending. I'll enjoy it from the comfy easy chair with no tickets to despair

From the title of this thread, I was ready to post "yes, I'm taking a stand against Zenyatta."

Just like last year, I'm not betting a cent, firstly because I don't bet SoCal racing, secondly because the BC has become a complete joke and I don't want to support it. I'll probably dive back in when it gets back to dirt, but not as heavily as I used to.

I don't understand the "full fields" argument for why I should bet it. Fair Grounds opens tomorrow and they, along with Churchill have plenty of full fields. And at FG and CD I won't have to worry nearly as much about horses in perfectly good form suddenly not running a lick and vice versa.
