Default 2023 Breeders Cup Week Notations and Extras . . .

The Fall Classic

and although I'd like to talk abut the World Series between The Rangers and the D'Backs; here it's all about the Breeders Cup, the contests and Going for the Gallivan Cup!!! . . . somewhat like the World Series Championship trophy but different, uhhhh very different.

Capping the Cappers to pick the Gallivan Cup Winner

This year since there's only been 10 players who play on a regular basis all 10 are eleigibile for the Gallivan Cup. I'll post odds with a few remarks for all players in separate thread so that you may wager a limit of $100 for one more. There is a limit of four wagers for your $100 bank roll.

Post your notations
or Breeders Cup Race info/thoughts/comments in this thread as well.

PS - BTW my horse racing/handicapping brain has been lost in handicapping real life situations lately, so any and all "good horse poop" to get me back in be game will be greatly appreciated.

I have many exceptional attributes
Writer poet songwriter dog and horse trainer

Unfortunately memory is not one of my better traits

I don’t know why I thought the bank roll on breeders cup was double
I thought it was $200 or was that just wishful thinking

Well Ruff. Your memory is still good. Last year at Keenland we had a $200 bankroll. And Cal is the defending champion.

Ruff, our fearless leader is talking about something completely different than the ROI. He once called this extra activity "capping the 'cappers". The goal is to use the $100 bankroll to wager on which of the Gallivan contestants will win.

I recall this because in previous years Don had asked me to become a sort of tote machine and compute the actual odds and will pays from those bets. It was always interesting to see how those coincided with the ML that he would create.

Does any of this bring back fond memories for you?

By the way, only 3 days, 21 hours and 54 minutes to go. But, who's counting?

Draw for post positions and final entries announced this evening.

Yes JB, it is Capping The Cappers, my tired brain lately was unable to recall that. And please do the final odds after the bets are wagered on Capping The Cappers. And JB I have many "fond" memories of our Colorado Kitten and hope to some time to come. I know she won't let us down. We all loves ya Ruff, even though you can be a PIN sometimes.

Default 💔 Arcangelo Out 💔

Belmont Stakes (G1) and Travers Stakes (G1) winner Arcangelo will be scratched from Nov. 4 Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) at Santa Anita Park due to a left hind foot setback, trainer Jena Antonucci said Oct. 31.

Owner Jon Ebbert of Blue Rose Farm told Daily Racing Form's David Grening that Arcangelo would be retired from racing and head to stud next year at Lane's End Farm—though Antonucci only characterized that as the likely development pending further evaluation of the colt.
