pretty funny: they named a race The Big Ass Fans Breeders Cup Dirt Mile - there must be a story behind that - I don't know what it is
it's a great time to get good odds on strong horses with all the soft money being bet
but I don't have the energy to cap all these races
chalkeater that I am I'll be scoping out if I can get decent odds on Sister Charlie in the filly and mare turf, Bricks and Mortar in the turf, Mitole in the sprint and McKinzie in the classic. as usual I will make my wimpy bets in the secondary pools - which are fairly often inefficient markets on big race days
any of these would probably make for good bets in the 1 and/or 2 spots in the single race exotics IMHO
Sister Charlie is my personal fave - what a star she is
I don't plan to bet the turf dash, because of the very large field, 14, but Pure Sensation should be the controlling speed which should give him a significant advantage since one or more of the strong closers are likely to get blocked or forced wide in a field that large
pretty shocking: Baffert bumped Mike Smith off of Mckinzie in favor of Joel Rosario. I think Baffert didn't like McKinzie's 2s with Smith aboard - he wants 1s.
