Winter Memories is going to be overbet off of a race that really might not be much, if at all better than Kathmanblu's Jessamine or the Natalma.

Off topic...

Does anyone possess a link where I could find out what the best wagers of past year's BC's have been? (i.e. - rolling p3's, DD's, ex, tri's . . .)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.

I have not downloaded a copy yet for this year, but the express bet wagering guide usually has some of the info you are looking for.

Call me crazy, but isn't that like handicapping the fifth race with the fourth race past performances? Inconsequential.

Looking over past payoffs in the BC is somewhat inconsequential because everything pays well, but getting your head wrapped around the insane value of various wagers is good for the mindset.

I have a binder with past BC charts and refer to it each year to remember things that worked, didn't etc. Plus, to remind myself at how valuable wagers like the P4 and Trifecta are.

Street Chimes disappointed mightily yesterday, and I would say moves the Natalma back a considerate amount in how it is viewed vs. some other preps. Also, that doesn't bode well for Pluck who ran a second slower than the girls did that day. That's just my opinion, of course.

Pluck's bad. I don't think New Normal can be downgraded by anything Street Chimes does because of the nature of her performance.

Pluck is a disaster, if he wins, I lose triumphantly.

I'm not going to put too much into Street Chimes' 5th place finish yesterday since it seems like she wants to go a mile at most. She was also a little closer to the pace yesterday and it fell apart altogether. Perhaps I'm being too liberal with it, but I'll pay to find out. I thought that More Than Real and New Normal were the two best in the Natalma by more than the finishing margins and More Than Real is more likely to move forward in a race with a contested pace.

We'll see about it all but I'm not going to necessarily upgrade Winter Memories because Excited came back to run well or downgrade More Than Real because Street Chimes didn't.
