Tips/Thoughts on Breeders' Cup tickets this year?

[blackthroatedwind]

There will be thousands of tickets basically being given away outside the track on both days.....with MANY more on Friday.

Even at Churchill there were tons of cheap tickets available outside on Saturday. Hell, we ate one or two.

I know I've posted this before, but I've been to 7 BC and NEVER paid above face value for whatever kind of seat I wanted day of.

This is a very interesting race. Wait A While will be very tough over that course. If Forever Together gets some pace though, I don't think there is a filly or mare in the world right now, that hasn't been retired, that can beat her. Her late kick is as good as any horse running right now. I think the heat is the only thing that can beat her.

FT is a real nice filly, but I prefer Mauralakana going 10 furlongs on firm turf.

I thought someone posted a wagering menu a couple weeks ago. I can't find it now.

*edit* Found it, Sniper's thread.

I am curious, do you consider all these cross entries to be insane and ridiculous?

Makes it real hard for me to follow right now, unlike years past where were were a couple and most of them were for turf related.

Now that I think about it, you think it is because of the synethic?

17 of the 26 are Turf to Synthetic or vice-versa..Doubt you would see that at CD

[Kasept]

11 come from the boy/girl Juvy-Juvy Turf races as well.. That's a big part of it.

And Dirt Mile produced 9 more..

Those reperesent 20 of the 30 X-entries.

She has absolutely destroyed the top fillies and mares 2x this year. The Diana was no fluke as she showed at Keeneland. The races were not even competitive. The only loss was on a yielding turf in Canada.

A win and she is the Eclipse winner. She will have to deal with heat and distance, although I doubt distance is really going to be an issue.
