Breeders Cup

As far as a look back goes the one that I\'m really kicking myself for is the Mile. Either Silver Max not going on for 2nd (such is life as I had the other 3 in the 3rd spot or just not wheeling the obvious 4 below Dan in the Super...for 1k/$24. Ugh.

Also, Verrazano getting up over Hymn Book cost me the super in the DM, where I did wheel the obvious 3 under Goldy, though of course not with V. Grrr.

Rick-- I had a conversation on this subject after the contest that night with a couple of guys. I\'m fine with both my handicapping and the plays, in the contest and not, took some tough beats. Good bets are defined as ones where you\'re getting value, and sometimes--often--they lose.

I started to comment the other day but didnt want to be first so now here goes.

1) Based on how Will Take Charge ran I am not surprised at the figure and from ym guessing standpoint it seems about what it should have been. Remember there some criticism about the connections going to Penn Derby instead of the Jockey Club but this rute wasnt altogether that different from the old Super Derby route a lot of previous 3YO took who later ran well in the Classic.

2) I thought Beholder was poised to get back to that 2YO Top and bet accordingly.

3) Goldenscents totally burned me. Almost jumped on board but just felt like the Top in the previous race not gonna happen again. And usually they do not but in this case the horse paired and beat me.

4) The 2YO Juvy Colt race was dreadful and if Honor Code looks good winning the Remson he very well could be the Juvenile Champion. Both Havana and Strong Mandate were compromised by their posts but also gave the look of being 7F types next year. Maybe the Baffert trained winners develops but this resembles last years group.....which were rats!

5) There were several Euro\'s who ran Tops. Some Big Ones. The majority of the others ran to their #. They shipped the furthest and had to play a major road game. No one is suggesting it was because of drugs?

Re the Euros, on a fast look the new tops came from some of the 2yos and the first dirt. Older grass horses did not, except Magician who improved on his early 3yo top.

Magician also was the only 1st Lasix horse in the field.
