That surprised me given the value that is often present on horses with a shot at double digit odds.

Am I mistaken? I thought BC was generally a good betting day

BE A GOOD BETTING DAY IF THE TRACK WASN'T MESSED UP BY WEATHER(lately been too often the case.)I understand the notion that good horses should be able to handle it,but I'd rather not have weather be involved each time.Even the Belmont one had a questionable turf course.

One man's good betting day is not necessarily another's. However, I would never argue with someone that says it's a great betting card. I'm just not usually someone who bets a lot of stakes races. My opinions are usually more esoteric maidens or turf horses.

I bet plenty on the BC, and enjoy the action, but my biggest bets are pretty much never on those races. But, with many races to at least dabble in, I am going to bet enough.
