Breeder's Cup 2018 at Churchill Downs

[CPA-hole]

That is a good payoff. I had totally forgotten about it. Was hoping they did more horse to horse match ups vs the US vs Euro.

 

[CPA-hole]

Loved code of honor here but he's scratched. Stuck on deciding on the two faves. It came down to who I'd rather own. So I'll go with #6 Complexity.

Race 9) Trifecta
6
189
1489

Slipping a couple of bucks on Dueling across the board.

 

[CPA-hole]

Standard Deviation looks really good on the track.

 

[Gandolf]

Holy cow look at those bombs underneath

 

[CPA-hole]

Lmao. couldnt have been more wrong there. Knicks Go ran huge again ran Complexity into the ground.

 

[Gandolf]

Not the best group apparently, outside the winner.

 

[CPA-hole]

Not sure why I try to beat Baffert in these races. They show up everytime.

 

[KJ]

Mate East Coast folks hate Baffert. I get it. But that's not a smart betting strategy, the swag is real

 

[RBTrojan]

I got a pretty big push on #2 Next Shares in the Mile. I'll be betting to win and place assuming the horse doesn't wash out. Good luck on Championship Saturday....

 

[CPA-hole]

Heading out for the day. No idea how he turf course will play or how much it's dried out from yesterday. Here are my two plays for the day.

Sprint Limo Liberal. Horse for Course

Classic Yoshida. So many ways you can go in this race. Accelerate is dominant right now, but his only loss this year was outside of Cali. Think McKinzie and Catholic Boy will also be heard from. Yoshida didn't beat much in his dirt debut and may not be a 1 1/4 mile horse, but I guess we'll find out today. Maybe he's a dirt horse? Worth a shot.

Prices I'm working with today for win potential:

Race 3 - Finleysluckycharm - loves this course
Race 6 - Eziyra - Frankie needs to work out a trip from the 14 but...
Race 10 - Channel Maker - if yet another Arc winner comes up short, he's got as much class as anyone.

 

[Gandolf]

There are tons of 5/1 and 6/1 horses in play today.

Turf Sprint
Win #5 Disco Partner

 

[Gandolf]

Typical Mike Smith ride on a heavy favorite, four wide around the turn and fanning out in the stretch. Somehow Ortiz on the 14 gets inside him and saves enough ground to win by a head.

Race 4 Pick 4 - 5,11/1,7,10/1,3,6,14/2,5,8,9

Race 4 Pick 4 - 4,6,11/7,10/1,2,3/1,2,8

 

[Gandolf]

Watches Catalina Cruiser run like a mule......quietly scratches Accelerate off the Classic contenders list.

 

[Gandolf]

Some slow rabbits in this one.

 

[KJ]

What a weird race

 

[Gandolf]

Oh wow, that is THE Stephanie Seymour. I see why it took Brant 30 years to get his second BC Trophy....he was working on getting a different kind of trophy.

R7.....2/8/9 Ex box. I like Roy H to win.

 

[Gandolf]

Nice call on Roy H. I do get tired of watching Peter Miller's win reactions. He reminds of the guy that called Seinfeld a phony and argued with George about the parking space.

haha no doubt. No clue in R8 for me.

Tailing GH on small Ex Box 2/5/11

 

[Gandolf]

Gotta love a sport where guys in their 40's and 50's get to excel at the highest level. Hell, Tony Black won another race at Parx just last week.....he's 67!

 

[Play2win]

Win #11

Easy peezy

I want to beat the favorite here......Channel Maker?

Liking the float up in price for Waldgeist

I was considering a win bet

 

[Gandolf]

Race riding the 2 a little

 

[Lloyd Braun]

Smart move by Frankie staying wide

 

[Gandolf]

Looked like an Ascot race with horses battling out in the middle of the track. Pretty cool.

 

[Gandolf]

Bad day so far for the Baffert-Smith connection, an noncompetitive oh for two. McKinzie the last chance.

 

[aplous]

I like 7 West Coast and 9 Biscuits

I like 7 West Coast and 9 Biscuits

Thinking of keying them in supers.

 

[Play2win]

Classic: Win #9

 

[aplous]

Such a great field tough to put together exotics.....maybe just W/P/S on both

 

[aplous]

Pavel at 37-1 could hit the board for sure

 

[KJ]

Thinking of keying them in supers.

9 or 11?

 

[Gandolf]

7 and 11

 

[Gandolf]

Whiff City. Sadler finally gets his.

 

[Gandolf]

Pick 6 paid $3706, one of the cheapest payouts I can remember.
