rd, get pumped.This Friday and Saturday! Who’s PUMPED??
Love the pep talk!rd, get pumped.
Like Herb Brooks said "This is your time."
rd, remember when we used to pick Winners for fun? You've gone on hot streaks b4. It happens again this WEEKEND.
And you're going to double it, right?I need $500 from Friday to Sunday for this event
This site is not half ass, Fifty.This half ass site should have a breeders cup contest
No. I’d like to attend someday but not on the West Coast.Are you going to attend this event, RD?
Why not?No. I’d like to attend someday but not on the West Coast.
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.Why not?
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.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.
I was going to go as well but the weather scared me off. Had a couple of bucks on Curlin, though.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’ll always regret not going to the one that was at Lone Star, the year Ghostzapper won, about 3.5 hours drive.No. I’d like to attend someday but not on the West Coast.
