After today, I have the next 4 days off from work. I think I am more excited about betting Belmont tomorrow and Thursday than the BC this weekend

That's it....The Breeder's Cup is horrible. I'm not watching. I think I'll go to the woods and look for scat. Come on folks, sure the quality is down and it's on Poly or pro-ride or whatever, but it's still a fun day if you are a horse racing fan. It's still better than a Mid-February Aqueduct inner track card.

I doubt I will have many February days where my handle is less than it will be on all 14 BC races combined.

I don't doubt that Andy and I understand your stance on this issue. You've never been a big fan of this day and I understand that. I'm just saying in general that it's not as bad as some people are making it out to be. I'm still looking forward to a good time with my friends like we do on most "big" days in horse racing.

After reading today's Cristblog on DRF about the overall earnings of the entrants I'm even a little more interested.

Is it because it is in California or because its on synthetic? If its synthetic I assume you dont play Kee on the main track anymore.

I'm not sure what I'll end up watching this Sat, the BC or college football.

The only thing that seems remotely interesting is Curlin & his Con-Ride experience.

Sure there are a few okay horses running like Zenyetta, IB and... and... well I cant come up with another. UGH!

Nobody plays Keeneland's main track anymore. Have you seen the statistics from their meet?

I don't know the amounts each individual on this board bets but I know Andy is not alone in this. Not even close. I personally will play very little, if any, on the main track races. I just do not like games of chance that much. I like gambling on horses because I feel confident that I can read a form, know the horses, and make an informed decision on where my money will go. I have ZERO such confidence in that on this track.
