It sounds like lots of people won, did anyone do poorly?

I looked like Trotter from Let It Ride yesterday..... and couldn't hit a thing, other than the 1st BC race today. Luckily I spot played some races from other tracks or would have ended up giving back what I won yesterday.

Tried to beat the last 3 fav's.... horrible move on my part. Also figured Atjebi would hit the board with one, but picked him for the wrong race.

Didn't cash a bet, I lost 20 bucks and most of it was on Hastings Ranch

Most of my horses who hit the board were second or third: Gotta Have Her, Bridgetown, Presious Passion (I still love him), etc. And too un-attuned to betting strategies to think of the right way to bet until after the fact. (Bet an exacta with the favorite over your horse as a saver, right?) Then when I nailed a winner in my analysis over at my 'family' chat board, I was too discouraged to bet him (Furthest Land). I need a betting strategy tutor. Any volunteers?

I put a big bet on Gio Ponti to win, so I lost. Should have covered it with an exacta with Zenyatta...but hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Happy for her though.

I needed gio ponti, Rip, or twice over in the classic for nice p4s and big p3 from furthest Land.
Still had my best Cup day ever.

i 0-fered BC weekend.

Suffolk Shippers · #9 11-07-2009, 11:04 PM

I did. Only played the late four, and didn't have the Ramsey's horse. I have decent scores at the BC once every four years. Still a few more years to go.

eajinabi · #10 11-07-2009, 11:15 PM

Bet 1000 bucks and got back 920 so I did not fair well this BC but then again I hardly ever profit on big racing days.

i got crushed today....i thought zenyatta had zero chance....she looked beyond caught in traffic until the final furlong

TheSpyder · #12 11-08-2009, 07:03 AM

Somone else is enjoying my money today. I had my own stimulus package.

me too, i hit good friday. gave most of it back saturday. had some great food, hung out with friends and lost some money yesterday, but, it was fun!

$1800 tri in last race on Friday saved me for the weekend, because I got beat up yesterday. Really liked Gayego, so that hurt on a lot vertical plays, and was a alive to $3 of pk3's to Mastercraftsman paying $170 each which went down in flames. The dirt mile result really hurt me in verticals as I only used Midshipman and Neko Bay in backups.

Ended up $500 ahead for the weekend, so it was very good overall...still wondering if Biofuel would have gotten up. Time for a long break. Good luck to you guys.

PatCummings · #15 11-08-2009, 10:30 AM

Should've had a significantly better two days, but profitable nonetheless. I laughed like a hardened criminal when the $1 tri in the Classic came back $596. Felt like I was sticking it to Uncle Sam.

CSC · #16 11-08-2009, 10:58 AM

My only tout this BC was Cost Of Freedom in the sprint and it looked like it was going to plan until the last 100 yds or so, saying that I wouldn't be unhappy if the BC is run at SA sometime soon again which is something I can't say for all BC's.
