You probably don\'t want to answer this, but if you don\'t mind...here goes.
I found the TG sheets for the BC to be strong and useful. Because I made a decision to go basically horizontal in my serious betting, however, things did not work out for me. That\'s OK. Lots of regrets, but I would have done worse going vertical in most instances.
It doesn\'t matter to me whether you won or lost, but I would like to get some insight into how you approached the 2 days. Maybe even some specific examples of individual races if you don\'t mind sharing.
From my end, had they shifted the order of the races by taking every third BC event and putting those in a string, I would have hit somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 or more pick-3s, some at long odds. But that\'s the way the cookie crumbles.
The short answer is that I did roughly the same thing you did and lost a little. I had said in advance the right approach was to use the multi-race bets, then got caught up playing the BC handicapping contest (which doesn\'t allow them), and forgot all about doing that.
Covello, on the other hand...
The other problem was theat the rail thing screwed me up completely. It was a guessing game as to whether Big Drama would clear and get off so I didn\'t use him as heavily as I intended, Malibu Prayer and QR did not, etc.
I got behind in doing days because of writing all the BC stuff, so I just did opening day at CD yesterday. Sure enough, dead rail, way back then. There will be some bets Thanksgiving weekend with horses coming off these rail races...
Are the results to the $10,000 BC Handicapping contest posted anywhere?
I hope not.
