Default 2023 BC Capping the Cappers going for The Gallivan Cup

ML Odds, Players and notations for you to scratch your head over. It's just part of my job.

We each have a $100 wallet to place all on one to win WIN BETS ONLY or devide it no more than four ways, if ya have to wager on more than one, (Ruffian). JolyB, as he always does, every year this time, will set the final odds after all bets are palced.

The winner gets 20 extra bonus pts for the year end total, 2nd place 15 extra points, 3rd 10 and 4th 5 if it all goes that far . . . usually doesn't. There hve been years when nobody gets anything.

WAGERS MUST BE POSTED BEFORE THE FIRST BC RACE ON FRIDAY to be considered. Ga'luk to all and Enjoy the Day!!!


5-2 JolyB . . . Hall of Famer
3-1 Digger . . . Smoking Hot
7-2 Real Quiet . . . A Real Gamer
9-2 Ruffian . . . Ouija Board Queen
8-1 DonGuido . . . A Downer Year
6-1 Cal 828 . . . Tough to Beat (If he plays for the Cup)
8-1 Cruzan 200246 . . .Mighty Mite
10-1 Indian Hemp . . . Batman
10-1 Zippy . . . Tenacious Underdog
9-1 Alli . . . Gotta Love Her

Probably putting too much thought into this and unless I am having a senior moment, I think RQ said after last year's contest Don G. was the 5 time champ. Considering that, I think he is the Bob Baffert of points contests and therefore should receive 50 of my points. The other 50 I will give myself since I am the defending Champeen, although I am not exactly feeling the vibe this year. Breeder's Cup is a feast or famine thing for me and more likely famine than feast, but who knows, I could get lucky.

50 Don G

Thanks for the support, if i pull of a BC Gallivsn Cup win it will be a miracle this year. I haven't had, as you say, a good vibe all year. Home life and it's complexities with my wife's declining health have been consumimg much of if noy all of my cognitive abilities . . . but there's alwys hope here and at home. I take your post to mean you will be playing the points contests. You are a stalwart force here. Good luck!

Sorry about your wife. I know from my own experience how that can be. Hope things get better for you and her. We are for the most part strangers here, but somewhat like a family too, albeit sometimes a contentious one.

So many good choices, so few $ to bet. On any given day, any player in our contest has shown the ability to rise to the top of the heap. That's what makes these contests so enjoyable.

I'll try these:
Zippy - $25
Alli - $25
JolyB - $50

Only 8 players chose to play in this pool, and some wagers were placed on players who did not play the points contest on Friday. Hopefully they will join us for day 2.

The top contenders were very tightly bunched, with 3 players tied for co-favoritism and the fourth only a nose behind.

The wagering odds are as follows:

Digger - 6.08-1
Indian Hemp - 6.08-1
JolyB - 6.08-1
Real Quiet - 6.36-1
Cruzan - 7-1
Don Guido - 10-1
Ruffian - 14-1
Cal - 14-1
Alli - 14-1
Zippy - 28-1

Please let me know if you have any issues with the tote.

Looks like we have 3 winners who each plaed $25 on Ruffians nose. Ruffian, Cruzan and Alli each get an dextra 20 points added to their year end Points and ROI totals.
