All of these sorts of sayings are redboarding. After the fact the odds always look ridiculous.

When you look at the trip Furthest Land got and then look at how he ran after that win, hard to take that win at face value. But that doesn't matter when you cash. Nice score to anyone that had him.

2009 was really good to me. between Life is Sweet, Furthest Land and Zenyatta, it was a good couple days.

Cajun Beat in 2003 made that a monster day for me along with Six Perfections and Islington. Would have been a life changing day had Daryll Holland not been on Falbrav.

2006 in Kentucky was class with Red Rocks, Ouija Board and Invasor

2008 was also class as just backing and boxing the Euros worked a treat

Most of the others have been profitably except for last year (needed Twice Over to win for a big score) and 2007 (got destroyed!!)

2006 after getting clobbered all day, snagged a $20 double - Red Rocks/Invasor
I think it came back 10 X $200 (almost).

Catching a winner on the last race of the day is the Best!

2008 ok, but 2003 was the best. Most of that day I was terrible, but eventually did well in the Classic with Pleasantly Perfect over Medaglia D'Oro and Dynever. Thought I was brilliant at the time in recognizing that Medaglia D'Oro and Congaree would go right at each other on the lead which would eventually open the door for the closers and also saw that the California horses were doing well which led me to Pleasantly Perfect. Looking back on it though, I think I was just lucky as hell. Perfect Drift was also in the race and as I recall, he ran wide entering the stretch and took himself, Ten Most Wanted and I think Funnycide out of the race so who knows what the order of finish would have been had that not happened. I was fortunate enough to have the exacta, tri and some win, place bets on Pleasantly Perfect.

Hopefully, I can report back here next year and say that 2010 was my best year. Have never played a single Superfecta in the BC, but intend to every race this year. I'll probably win the most ever or take the worse drubbing of my life.

Isn't this thread pretty much an open invitation to redboard?

No doubt about it. But there is a difference. And it is subtle.

Ok, well, to add to the discussion, last year I was swinging and missing most of both days, with my only good hit being a 20$ WP on the camel jockey on Vale of York.
