Breeders Cup

Postby DDT » Mon Oct 29, 2018 5:20 am

The forum has been light but we may be able to put some life into it with the BC races this weekend. I have lost personal contact with TJ and I can only hope that he reads this and contacts me. At any rate, we have 4 days to look at past performances and handicap the races.

“Optimism trumps realism”

Good one, Joltman!
Without hope, what kind of life would we be living?

Amongst Friday’s card, I think #12 in the 5th race, Pocket Dynamo, might outrun her odds (20-1 morning line). Several others (1, 2, 6, 7) appear much more likely, but the odds ought to be great!

Alas I will be hustling thru morning training in hopes of catching some of it when I get home. I've been entering my three runners (Queen Maxine, Miss Pinkerton and Stormy Memo) for weeks, following the bouncing races, and have only been AE a bunch of times, or races did not go despite filling. I could not commit to go anywhere else. I had two for Friday at Indiana, races did not go. I've now entered for Saturday. I've got that Paynter colt who had his rig surgery last Thursday needs to be hosed twice a day and walked in the machine on a bit of ace. One filly has a warm splint to work on. I really can't ever miss a day no matter what. I think the weather is going to be miserable Friday so paddock admission, which is all I could really do, is a non-starter.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

im in town maybe til Tuesday and will kick around the sale, and meet a couple of people, but unless the bankroll gets seriously replenished, i'll be sitting out any realistic buying, esp. the early catalogs.

What's your plan for the weanling Madelyn? Didn't know you pinhooked?

Perhaps the best bet of the day will be in the 5th race. Bulletin won for fun in fast time and his works indicate that he has plenty of natural speed and more than likely will be the one to catch and I do not believe they will catch him. Soldier's Call looks best of the Europeans but the closer that has my attention is Strike Silver, in his last he had big trouble at the gate and was last until the top of the stretch where he had one horse beaten, he rolled home from there and even if the field folded in front of him, it was an impressive win for a 2 year old with Leparoux up. I will play Bulletin to win and maybe a $.10 Super part wheel with 1,2,5 with 1,2,5 with 4,7,8,10 with 4,7,8,10 at cost of $7.20.

More to follow.

I didn’t have a great day, I never do with the 2-year-olds!
Brown has another stellar turf filly, Baffert has another good colt, and City Zip sure could sire some fast horses...
Pretty nice to see Cross Traffic get a BC winner too.
I’ll be posting my picks tomorrow morning, maybe some better luck tomorrow!

I love the name on Jaywalk. Nice play on the sire's.
