What a day. I swear this was the best handicapping I have ever done for a Breeders Cup day, and yet, nothing to show for it. A lot of bad decisions and bad beats.
Join me as I drink a few beers to drown the evil mojo away and get a drag start for tomorrow. Lol!

I was all over Biofuel, my best bet of the day. I was sure she was going to win the Girls' Juvie with that wide move of hers; she was closing fast, gaining momentum, when BAM! Negligee comes out and mugs her. Learn to drive straight, Rajiv!

My demise is because Beautician and Mushka ran second... both horses I tried to completely beat. Ooops.

She was definitely going to win. I'm pissed.

Biofuel gets the today if Negligee doesnt decide to go for a hot dog.
I bet 2 good sized win bets today. Cloudy's Knight and Biofuel. HAHAHA
Thanks Rosie....now go back to Tampa where you belong.

Can't complain overall. I had a profitable day thanks to DrugS pushing me hard on Life is Sweet.

I just got home from Churchill Downs and I swore off betting the Breeders Cup last night but low and behold two things happen today -

I ran into Cannon and next thing I know I am making a wager on Santa Anita, albeit a turf race. We start talkin about how I ain't betting this thing and then......

A short time later I am buying tomorrows DRF and scanning the Breeders Cup card.......

I am not gonna bet every race but just find a few spot plays if you will

Geesh, I did not even come close to cashing a ticket on the card at Churchill today but all was not lost as their was some nice lookin college cuties floatin around

Good luck to everyone tomorrow

Played the late Pick 3 at CD today, had the bookends ($101.80 and $14.60), but neither of the two chalks I had lifted a hoof in the Ack Ack. The biggest price I ever have to start a multi-race bet. Ugh.

It cost me the exacta as well as the Pk3 phat payoff that would have ended in that race and got me paid on the next 2 as well. I did finish that pk3 in the next race which returned about 423$. Oh what might have been. Oh well, there is tomorrow.

Pop Tarrt actually showed a little something at PID if I remember right that started that Pick 3 for you, tough way to start and not finish. I played Jonesboro

Yeah some performance out of him. That's three times in a row they appear to have run a short horse. Nothing to see here.

My stupidity of leaving Informed Decision out of my pick 4 (I singled Ventura to save money, ID was my 2nd choice) cost me $2,000+

I went cheap today to make sure I had money for tomorrow... well, I still have money but I could have had a lot more. Needless to say I won't be singling anyone tomorrow.

Isn't Negligee the filly that looks retarded during her works? Guess we can't be shocked that she did something like that. Betting 2 year old fillies is a hazardous activity.

I knew it wasn't gonna be my day when I go 5 deep in the sprint, and the 3 of the 4 horses I don't use run 1-2-3. Went 6 deep in the Juvinelle and used Vale of York (Thanks Doug). If my single Zacinto wins...I may kill myself.

Try my two best bets. Piscatelli at 50-1. Loses by a length. Courageous Cat at 22-1. The same. Sickening.
