Stink. Until I hit Cajun Beat. That made up for all the bad ones. I had usually only bet the Classic.

I cant wait for the Sprint at Churchill. The Sprint is the money maker. And we got Henny Hughes gonna draw big $$$. We will see if some of these others start coming on. Short distance into a good turn with a long stretch. Very unlike Santa Anita, so it is definitely going to make this race be a great chance for a burnout upfront.

Wish I was better versed in Turf. US pride getting in the way is a good thing. But alas, Turf is not a surface I am suited for. Hate that Euro timeform crapola. Really got to be able to watch all the Euro replays to feel comfy.

I couldnt have hit secretariat in the belmont the way BC day went for me last year. Wasn't even close, i think i even bet two horses that broke down!! Only time i've made money was BC 04 and i put Ghostzapper on top and hit the superfecta in the classic for like 634 bucks. other than that its been ugly, really ugly. Probably just gonna be a fan this year

I only hit one race last year and it didn't pay. That was my worst. The two previous days at Churchill were pretty good ones for me, particularly the 2000 event.
