Default How did you guys end up on the day?

I will be down probably $20 or so once my 7% kicks in from all my pinnacle wagers. (Scavs, thanks for putting me on this site over bodog.)

Wagered probably close to $600 on the day, so that makes me happy.

I tried a lot of crazy exotics hoping to hit a big payday but didn't hit anything better than a few exactas and winners (had Thor's Echo and Invasor)... I finally ended up $40 down after almost $400 in bets.

$40 for a day of entertainment - cheaper than going to the movies

Wagered $9 and lost it all. Not a smart bettor, so I keep it small.

-460 wagered= not a bad day

Hope everyone else did well!

PS...I hate Meisque's Approval...he cost me the late pick 4

Got the luckiest break on Baletto I've ever seen. Which allowed me to be up slightly on the day. Too lucky on that.

should have stopped after the 2 juvi races...or learned to be a smarter WPS bettor, as I had some great price horses that won but I only used them in exotcs. (losing exotics that is). I about broke even for the day. Up if I count the wager with Randall.

I put up goose-eggs all day and was down about $450 going in the classic.
Hit the tri and double in the classic and found myself right back were I started, $452 balance.

Sad part is that is one of my most succesful BC days, breaking even.

Yeah, I generally get my ass beat on BC day yet I keep going back for more. I was feeling GREAT after Street Sense but after the Mile, Distaff, Turf hits I was down buct came back to even thanks to boxing Invasor nd Dini

Started off well hitting Street Sense to win and alive in many pick three's only to be thrashed by my single on Henny Hughes. Miesques Approval saved me from taking a bath today and i actually won a little bit of money. Had the exacta in the distaff after Happy Ticket was put into second. I wanted to get a big score but it just didn't happen.

Pick 4's i got smashed lost the 1st one on last leg and the last one I had mieques to start but didnt have round pond on the tick i had alive but did on backups but no miesques on them. argggggg. All in all a very fun day though.

Started out great, hitting the early pick three and a few other exotics. Then, when Hughes ran dead last, my day started to spiral down the toilet. Ended up dropping around $320. Would've gotten out and then some if my dude would've held off Invasor..

Hit Maryfield in the 1st to win

Hit Octave and CQ on a place parlay(love BC day the place and show pay offs are as good as hitting these horse as a winner any other time.)

Saw the rail bias and played Thor's Echo to place and Round pond to win.

Tanked on T.H. Approval and my pick 3s all day.

Came home with alittle money to the good and played with other peoples money. Can't wait till next year.
