11/1 (SA): Breeders' Cup Friday

[Kasept]

Here it is.. The 'Breeders' Cup invocation' ~ These 2 days offer unique opportunities with chances to be rewarded for creative thinking and audacious risk-taking. Some will come away delighted and some maddeningly frustrated, but all should approach these races as the curious and challenging puzzles they've become. No matter how well you 'handicap' the races, fields this deep and mysterious will produce several nearly unforeseeable results. Remember that you could be taking an '0-fer' well into Saturday and get it all back (and more) in the weekend's waning moments.

But no matter how the ledger looks when it's over, appreciate that your ability as a horseplayer won't be defined over the course of the 2 days. Spend as freely as you can afford, get a little lucky, and here's hoping that everyone nets something that fills their account and makes them proud.

For the 14th year in a row, it's been a pleasure bringing the Cup to everyone listening to At the Races. I hope the 15 hours here and the time leading up offered each of you something you can convert into winning tickets. Thanks to Breeders' Cup, Santa Anita staff, ATR sponsors, SXM, everyone who contributed so generously to the shows and most importantly, the listeners..

Let's get them all around and home safe and let's get lucky this weekend!

Thanks.. As always, a fun, intense week.

The lower Lasix dose has been in place since spring and I haven't heard that there's been any issues.
