2009 Breeder's Cup
Not much time to discuss, but here are my quick pasted comments to my friends as we build toward a syndicate Pick 6 ticket.
- - - - - Here is my brief thinking: 3 SPRINT Key horse #9 FLEETING SPIRIT (ML 8-1) Also use: #1 (7-5), #8 (15-1), #3 (9-2) 4 JUVENILE Big favorite #13 LOOKIN AT LUCKY (8-5) Big value #6 PULSION (20-1) #5 (5-2), #4 (8-1), #8 (10-1) 5 TURF Key #8 ZACINTO (8-1) Aso #4 (3-1), #11 (8-5), #1 (12-1) 6 DIRT MILE Big favorite #1 MASTER CRAFTSMAN (6-5) Also #5 (20-1), #3 (6-1), #10 (20-1) 7 TURF Favorite #2 CONDUIT (7-5) Pace favors #6 PRESIOUS PASSION (4-1) Also #7 (5-2) This race is bitterly hard to sort out 8 CLASSIC Key #10 RIP VAN WINKLE (7-2) Not taking chances with horses unproven on surface, but looking here #8 EINSTEIN (12-1) #7 GIO PONTI (12-1) #2 COLONEL JOHN (12-1) First draft of a P6 ticket might be 9 1 13 6 8 4 11 1 5 2 6 10 8 7 |

Exciting finish to the Juvenile Turf. The favorite, Pounced, wins it at the finish.

I had Pounced, but have lost the next four trying for some prices. (Damn. Goldikova is a nice horse.) Going against strong faves in the last three races.

I need to look into betting horses where I can't conceive of any reason for them to contend. That seems to be a hot angle, Goldikova notwithstanding. *shurg*

I kept my money in my pocket for this one. That proved to be a wise decision.

[quote=Honolulu Blue;2163379 Oh, and de do do do, de da da da is all I want to say to you.[/quote]Yeah, Zenyatta is something. She overcame a bad start on the wrong lead and still managed to beat my pick who had a perfect trip. At the top of the stretch I thought that Gio Ponti was the winner @12-1. Smith made a great decision moving Z to the outside instead of forcing her between horses.
Two tough beats as I had Presious Passion also finish 2nd @ 5-1. Oh well. That's horse racing. I know that a lot of people hate the synthetic tracks but I thought we saw some very competitive and exciting races. Last edited by weegeebored : 11-08-2009 at 07:49 AM. |

Split a $460 pick 3 with my dad and brother and hit that small exacta in the Turf, so lucked into a decent profit for once with the BC (my brother had put the p3 together).
Did not expect that performance by Zenyatta. Really impressive.
