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 :D

Pedigree Ann 11-04-2006 05:02 PM

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

Suffolk Shippers 11-04-2006 05:02 PM

+990 hit $1 tri on the Juvenile twice
+350 hit $1 tri on the Classic

+1340

-460 wagered= not a bad day :cool:

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

Five Star Derek 11-04-2006 05:21 PM

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.

Gauchos0522 11-04-2006 05:22 PM

Lost about 300 but really thought only thor's echo was the only horse i didnt see at all coming in and miesques approval saved my day after I has 20 on him to win. 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.

randallscott35 11-04-2006 05:23 PM

Ha ha, just did the numbers. Bet 6550 on the day and got back 6915. Not great but I'll take it...Thank you stewards.

randallscott35 11-04-2006 05:24 PM

Have to subtract a hundred to Kev and 40 to Beth. Dammit.

Live at home and win a contest. LOL.

ateamstupid 11-04-2006 06:22 PM

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..

2Hot4TV 11-04-2006 06:22 PM

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.

Sightseek 11-04-2006 06:28 PM

Lost about $4....could have been much more sweet had I not singled Bernardini over Invasor, Premium Tap and Giacomo in my exacta and tri. Coulda, woulda, shoulda..........
