HowboutthemCowboys Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I've been out of the loop pretty much since the Triple Crown. Have'nt had time to follow racing and probably won't be betting on the Breeder's Cup this year. I wil however be tuned in to the Classic and pulling hard for Zenyatta. 19 races- 19 wins. I bet Gio Ponti pretty hard last year and pissed when Zenyatta went by in the stretch ( like she always does) but I've followed her closely since. What a character this horse is, the way she plays to the crowd before and after her races is amazing. And I've always been a sucker for closers, I love to watch them sweep on by in the stretch. Anyway if any of you are bored tune in saturday evening and check her out. Supposedly she's retiring after saturday. I hope she kills 'em. 11th (6:45) Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) 1 1/4 Miles | Open | 3 Year Olds And Up Stakes | Purse: $5,000,000 Prg. # PP Horse Jockey Trainer Wt. Claim $ Equip. Med.

gilthorp Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Not advisable to play unless you've got some loose change laying around. R6: 11 - More Than Real 10/1 R7: 11 - Jessica Is Back 12/1 R8: 6 - Joyful Victory 15/1 R9: 4 - Keertana 30/1 R10: 9 - Acoma 20/1 For best results, play Win/Place/Show and pray to get lucky. It's one of the only times a year you can get double digit odds on a very fine athlete who may simply be over looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinatieri Is God Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Way to go Gil! More Than Real brings it home at 16-1 and the rest of the day is gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinatieri Is God Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Good to cover everything I played for the day. Keertana grabs a small payday also. What a bomb winning that race. 46-1 Shared Account. One more to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinatieri Is God Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Small profit for the day. Thanks for the fun Gil. I'll be looking for more bombs tomorrow if you don't mind posting them up. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Couldn't find much for tomorrow, but here's a few to consider. R4 - Soldat 8/1 R5 - Atta Boy Roy 12/1 (this will be lower post time) R6 - Due Date 15/1 R9 - Cool Coal Man 20/1 should be chalkier tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinatieri Is God Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 That's OK. Never good to force it. Thanks for the picks and good luck today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 In the 4th, I also like Typhoon Slew. In the 6th, I also like Central City. Can't find a strong play in the 7th against the top two, so will take a real swag on the 10, Jaycito. In the 8th, I think Beethoven is worth a play, as is Proviso, but Goldikova is a beast. In the 9th, a lot of head scratching going on about Aikenite, a very good horse, with a very good trainer, and a very juicy 50/1 ML. The 10th has always been a Euro-fest, not much value there. I love Winchester, but he's probably over his head. I will be playing WPS on Winchester AND Debussy. The Classic still requires some time...

gilthorp Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Typhoon Slew scratched. Classic is a play against Zenyatta in my books. The service I use really doesn't consider her a factor in this one. I think Quality Road and Blame are very solid horses that deserve strong attention. My longer shot is Haynesfield in this one. Spreading deeper would look to Fly Down to come crashing late and the 11 could be any kind so I have to account for him. Seperate ticket includes Lookin At Lucky singled around the above only because he was very good to me in the Preakness. ETA: As I was driving to the OTB, I was thinking about the original post. I am not about ready to NOT play some real crazy gimmicks in the exotics with Zenyatta singled up top. I covered her and hope to get a good return. 20 for 20 would be a great story.

HowboutthemCowboys Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 . Classic is a play against Zenyatta in my books. The service I use really doesn't consider her a factor in this one.. Z is an obvious " try to beat" at those odds. I'll be rooting for her hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Just didn't make many smart plays today....was all around it and just caught a little back. Frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinatieri Is God Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Soldat was nice although bet way up so short $$ on place. We also grabbed a piece of Fusaichi in the 10th. Not a winning day but not too bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
