I haven't bothered looking at the PP's. I'll start cracking on Wednesday.

Im with everyone else... I wont really look at the field until the night before. I want to know exactly who will be in the gate. Otherwise, you're wasting a lot of time on thin air.

I have only played 1 BC, but I did very well last year. Pedigree is definitely my weak spot in this sport, but it won't be probably in the next couple of years. I'm really going to try to start learning a lot about that. Pedigrees are really nice when looking at yearlings, two year olds, and first time starters.
However, I am always going to be a movement and performance person. Although I appreciate horses with nice pedigrees such as Bernardini and Empire Maker, it has been my impression that pedigree doesn't mean crap sometimes when applying it to ability on the track. I like to watch how they work and move. As for looking at the PPs, I will probably start looking over them on Wednesday night, although I have been watching replays of some of the horses in these races even though I have seen them all before. I'm afraid that there is something that I may have missed.

I've got one race left to cap. This is early because I leave on Tuesday, but I want to know all there is to know about every horse. No other day offers such spectacular wagering value and I feel the time spent is time well spent.

Guess I'm on the other side of the fence with this one. I've been going over the PPs since Wednesday, and while I agree that you shouldn't make your final decisions until you see where everyone is drawn, I feel like it's never too early to start mapping things out..

i personally can read to much, then not play my first thought.
i read myself right out of the kentucky oaks. thursday night i wrote down Lemons forever and friday before the race scratched her out. then did it again in the Alcibiades. standing in line to place the bet i scratched out Bel Air Beauty, that cost me the tri. i'll try to wait until friday.

I pretty much have my picks. Only post position and an off track will make me change them.

Guess I disagree here. I spend about 10 times longer on the Breeders Cup than any other day...Can't play it like any other day. It derserves more time and I have no problem switching my mind sometimes if I come to different conclusions from looking at the races for a long period.

Just curious - how do you know so much about horse racing? You do not sound like a 19 - 21 year old college student.

Balletto what is rf?
Just curious what is rf? Also I like to wait until the post positions are known. I like to see the works because you can get a look at what horses are liking the track and also see if the horses have developed more, especially the two year olds. You can look at the pps until you are too dizzy.
