Title: BC Futures Set
Post by: Labeebmile on September 13, 2004, 08:20:22 PM
As I\'m about to head out to Vegas this weekend for Hopkins-De La Hoya, I was wondering if it would be possible to have a set of sheets made for the horses listed in the futures books for the Distaff, Sprint and Classic. I understand it\'s many horses (in excess of 200) but wanted to pose the question anyhow. Thanks for your time.

My strong suspicion is that I am not the only one who would be interested in what you learn re prices & available bets.

One peculiar LS item I forgot to mention yesterday is that the gentleman who will be providing the service, which will be called \"By the Rail\", told me that he learned during the most recent meet that LS prohibits the wearing of all caulks, which I recall thinking might affect Zito more than most, as virtually all of his runners wear them in all dirt races, including Birdstone, if I remember correctly. I\'m pretty sure the BC actually takes over the track & sets the rules for the big day, so it\'s entirely possible that caulks will be allowed, unless the prohibition was instituted for safety reasons related to the configuration and/or composition of the track.

Since they are no longer offering parimutuel futures, we won\'t be selling a package on-line. We could put one together for you, but we would almost certainly charge you a lot more than you would want to pay-- I don\'t like giving info out that horsemen can use to make decisions without being compensated.

Unless any of the horses listed horses starts running for a $50k or $75k tag sometime soon, which I seriously doubt, the interests of the horsemen at hand have nothing to fear from someone such as myself looking to place futures wagers. But that would require taking me at my word as a customer for over 7 years.

I realize that it\'s your football game and you\'re free to take your ball home with you whenever you wish. I guess I\'ll have to see if I can play in the game across the street.

Thanks for your time.

It really wouldn\'t be that difficult.

Take the top 12 from BRIS\' BC card listed by their Prime Power number. In the grass events add a few accomplished Euro\'s and you\'re set.
