There are people on this board whose opinions I greatly respect. All the sarcasm and jabs aside (I.D. don't bash me on Saarland right now), there is incredible insight and knowledge on these pages.

Kasept, BTW, Hooves, A-Team, Cannon, others forgive me for not mentioning by (screen) name....I've started this thread in order to gather opinions on how to strategically approach these 2 days from a wagering perspective. I will be there, so that onto itself may differ from those playing at local tracks, OTB's, or at home. Is betting every race out of the question? Should I emphasize the turf races as the pro-ride does not have enough history? How should dollars be allocated for Fri vs. Sat? There are many other questions that I would love to see asked and debated.

This may not be the prettiest BC, new format and all, but these races always produce enormous prices. Just want to maximize my chances.

Good luck to all.
