Love the pep talk!

Was itching to bet today. Usually the week leading up to these big events you’ll see all the big outside outfits start to filter in, leading to under-the-radar long shots.
Not this year. I don’t see any shippers entered today. All California barns. What a shame.

This half ass site should have a breeders cup contest

This site is not half ass, Fifty.

I will ask LT if it's possible to offer a contest at this event.

 

[rdalert447]

Are you going to attend this event, RD?

No. I’d like to attend someday but not on the West Coast.

 

[BMR Genie]

No. I’d like to attend someday but not on the West Coast.

Why not?

 

[rdalert447]

Why not?

They used to rotate the event every year all over the country. Belmont, Gulfstream, Arlington, etc. Each track has a different configuration, different weather, and other different variables.

In my opinion, it made for a better event, was more challenging to bettors, which means better opportunities for long shots.
For example, European turf horses are perceived to be way better than the Americans. So they tend to dominate at the “perfect weather” tracks out West. And the bettors know this so it makes it difficult to catch them at a big price.
However, get them at a humid track like Gulfstream and it kind of evens the playing field. They don’t perform well in humidity since they are not used to it.
These days, they hold they event too often in California, because if the perfect weather and to appease the Europeans. I am against that.

Wow! This explains a lot, RD. Thanks for sharing this info. Not everyone, especially me who has never been on a horse track knows this.

I went to the Breeders cup at Monmouth in 2007...I think it rained about 6 inches that day and was about 45 degrees.....up the road Rutgers got killed by West Virginia in a big game for them at the time.

I was going to go as well but the weather scared me off. Had a couple of bucks on Curlin, though.

I’ll always regret not going to the one that was at Lone Star, the year Ghostzapper won, about 3.5 hours drive.

I did have a sweet reserved spot in the Turf Club at the track 20 minutes from me that year though.
