Breeders Cup Weekend Thread

I figured I'd start this up for the horse players who will be watching the BC at Keenland today and tomorrow. I know horse players may be protective of their picks, but I will be posting my bets here. Today will be spotty for me as part of the BC happens at work (though I think I am off when the races start) and my little guy has ice skating.

Good luck all!

 

My picks for the stakes races today. Good luck!

R4 – Closing Bell
R5 – Hoppertunity
R6 – Airoforce
R7 – Lea
R8 – Harmonize
R9 – I’m A Chatterbox
R10 – Looks To Spare

 

For the classic I like honor code. Keeping American Pharoah out of my picks more just to be greedy. Will probably go Honor code with frosted and Tonalist. As a long shot may throw in Effinex.

 

For the Juvenile Turf I am on Hit a Bomb. IF his odds drop too low I will do Hit a Bomb/Camelot Kitten Exacta Box

 

my 4 picks in each of todays races i am using in exactas, tris,supers, and rolling doubles,P3 and P4

6) 8,10,13,14

7)1,3,5,10

8) 3,4,7,10

Nice price for both. I just had a $5 win bet. I did not have time to attack the forms until this afternoon.

 

Juvenile Filly - Trifecta Box 4/8/10 Catch a Glimpse/Harmonize and Illuminate

Distaff - 12/14 exacta box - 12/14 - Get Lucky and Sheer Drama

Distaff/Classic double - 12/14 W Tonalist, American Pharaoh and Frosted

 

After day 1 I am up $10. I had to rush through and handicap the last 3 races but most of my picks ran well..except the distaff. I saw there was an objection but no dq did it warrant one? I had to get Lil guy's skates on.

 

there was a little contact but not enough to make a change...

hit the Pick four.... plus a few smaller hits...

will 'cap saturdays card tonite

 

Awesome. I was tempted to bet the marathon...always and interesting race case American horses do not run that distance a lot.

Congrats on the pick 4...what did your ticket cost if you do not mind.. how many combos did you use?

I don't have the bankroll to do an effect pick 4.

Thanks for info on the objection

 

Thanks... had i bet the marathon i would have had the exacta and trifecta....

i put in $120 into the pick 4.... more than usual because of the large fields that tend to produce larger prices, though with AP saturday being a single the ticket
will be less... probably focus more on rolling doubles, and exactas, tris,and 10 cent supers if i find some live prices.

 

Yeah I put $125 on my express bet account for the weekend.

Ugh I hate that when you don't fire on a bet like that.

Good luck tomorrow.

 

saturdays card except for AP is really hard.... i spent 3 hours tonight winnowing out the races... will have to refine them in the morning as my brain is mush....also pre-capped the del mar card as well... WHEW! i'll be dreaming algorithims in my sleep...

 

I wish I put as much time in as you! Maybe if we are in Vegas one day I can shadow you at the book.. beers on me.

The BC before last year I did not cash a ticket. I did pretty well last year though.

 

well...burned the midnight oil...well well past midnight.... woke up late 9am...

race 3. Songbird is the one to bet at odds on and i think can be beat but have to include her on the early pock 4.....the 1is the value play

10,1,9,7

race 4..wide open.. going with

1,3,5,12

race 5 another crap shoot

2,4,8,11,14

race 6 could be bombs away if the 3 gets beat

3, 8,9,12


more later

 

Race 3

Agree on Songbird 1/10 7 exacta

 

Turf Sprint -

1 to win

1/5 exacta box.

 

Filly and Mare Sprint

4/14 exacta boxed. I am worried about the speed horses in this race honestly. Seems like this race sets up for a closer.
