Breeder's Cup

[klinkman]

The breeder's cup is coming up this weekend. The post draw is tomorrow, and I will have my own personal analysis of the races thereafter. Will Zenyatta stay unbeaten? Can anyone catch Curlin? Who's the most talented two year old? Is Indian Blessing the best sprinter running? Find out this weekend!

thanks Klink, If i don't have to work,I may drive over to Mobile to make some bets.All your posts has gave me the fever.

I need some advice for any race Sat. For the Breeder's cup, I think it could go either way with Curlin and Casino Drive. I'll do a couple tri-boxes with those two on top both ways. Any advice on any race would be greatly appreciated. I plan on spending the day at Ocala Breeders Sales to wager my bets. Too bad they don't have poker....

Casino Drive is not fast enough to beat Curlin. His win in the Peter Pan was impressive when compared to the 3-year olds running, but is lackluster compared to the 4-year olds in this field. I really don't see any horse beating Curlin this year, but here are my picks for exotics contenders:

Go Between
Casino Drive
Duke of Marmalade
Student Council
Fairbanks


I really don't think any other horse has a chance of hitting the board here. Smooth Air is underrated at 50-1, but he's still outclassed, so I can't recommend placing any bets on him.

The NTRA is doing a promotion where everyone places a win and show bet on every race, and the person who ends up with the most profit wins a trip to Las Vegas for the World Series of Handicapping and some other prizes. I'll detail my picks here after I analyze each race

Win: Curlin
Place: Fairbanks

Contenders: Zenyatta- Unbeaten and maybe unstoppable
Cocoa Beach- She upset one big favorite, can she do it again?
Carriage Trail- Her run in the Spinster would have been good enough to give Zenyatta a run for her money. I expect her to bounce but you never know.

Pretenders: Music Note-She's the class of the 3 year olds, but that means nothing when you are up against the best older horses. I just cant see her beating the likes of Zenyatta and the rest.
Ginger Punch- We already have seen her lose to Cocoa Beach, and lose badly to Zenyatta. Nothing makes me think she can do better now
Santa Terista, Bear Now-Outclassed, plain and simple

Exotic Bomber-Hystericalady- She will be caught by someone, but I expect her to catch a piece of the money here.

[Lilred36]

Personally I think zenyatta is unbeatable, just my opion.

[klinkman]

Oh, and my picks for the Ladie's Classic:

Win: Zenyatta
Place: Hystericalady

[Lilred36]

looks like a great exacta.

Damn I'd love to visit a race track one day as well, we have nothing like that down here. It must be a thrill to be on a race track live. It's still nice on TV but to be there must be amazing!

[Lilred36]

Well guess I'm not going,I will just have to watch on tv.

[Pokerkitty6]

Thanks for all the advice!!! I'll check in later to see you have any thoughts on the other races going on today. I won't be watching live, but I will be able to watch and bet at the same time. Either way, it's still exciting!!! Gotta love the horses!!!!! Go Curlin!!!!

[Lilred36]

Well Curlin is a good looking horse, but there is a chance I think.If I were going today I may have Casino Drive in one of my Tri's.

[Pokerkitty6]

I'm definately using Casino Drive with Curlin. I'll be doing alot of multiple bets. I just hope one of the tri's hit!!!

[Lilred36]

well gl to you,and the horses.No more injurys please.

[Lilred36]

Pulling for Colonel John now I guess.

[Pokerkitty6]

OMG...got my *** handed to me today. The ups and downs of gambling. Today I saw the downs all the way. Curlin didn't show up today and cost me and many others their bankroll. Til the next big race lol!!!!

[Lilred36]

Yep thats the track for you! Usually up and down tho, must have had a off day.They said it was the Art. turf, but Curlin wouldn't have caught Ravens Pass I don't think anyways.

[klinkman]

I'm glad I didn't get a chance to go bet this weekend lol. The only picks I had right were Zenyatta and Stardom Bound. I thought Coronet of a Baron had it for sure, then two horses came flying by. And don't even get me started on Grand Courtier.

[Lilred36]

lol, there were some good races tho.

[USCTrojans]

Horses are too difficult imo to be profitable, although as an entertainment it sure is a blast.

Wish we had a race track in CR....
