Anyone know a sportsbook taking Breeders Cup Futures?

Looking to stop in Vegas on my way to Del Mar. Anyone know if any books are taking futures bets on the Breeders Cup?

Looking to put some money down on Red Rocks in the Turf and hope for no rain. Also looking at Zulu Chief in the 2yr old grass race.

Wynn has it.

I know for sure that Wynn is taking bets, but last I checked it was only for the Classic, Distaff and Sprint.
The Palms and Hilton should be getting futures up soon. The BC turf and mile should be added shortly, but I would be surprised if the juvy races had any futures until September or so.

This is what Wynn has up so far:

Odds don't look so hot but it is an interesting year to take a shot with some turf horses in races like the Classic because of the surface.

I like Casino Drive, but 6-1 is ridiculous. I wouldn't take 30-1 on him right now.

Right now I might just take a shot with Zenyatta in the Classic at 75-1. Probably won't run, but worth a shot at those odds.

Don't usually go to Wynn though, but I will if I can't find anything like 75-1.

Zulu Chief is a 3year old

Makes sense. I was told the horse is going to win a Breeders Cup race and I just assumed he meant the BC Juvenile turf, considering I never heard of the horse. What race would he be looking at, the Mile?

This is the 3/4 to Hawk Wing, correct? His Lockinge win was arguably the best performance I have ever seen. If this horse can duplicate anything near that I will be shocked. I guess his 20 length win recently was pretty impressive.

Wynn has them and last year they were a $5 min per horse. Bally's/Caesars had them last year, but only for the Classic (and also started the pools later than Wynn).

yeah I agree with ya, I had to make a thread about him in the International Section. I dont really know how he will be campaigned this year but to be honest, Id be surprised if he made a trip stateside in 2008.. 10f will probably be his best trip.

They should love you betting on rain in California.

We don't have rain then. We have the Santa Ana Winds around that time(heat n' wild fires.) That is hit n' miss though. It will happen for a week somewhere during a 3 or 4 week stretch. Hopefully not during the B.C. again.
We are not gunna have rain though. It doesn't totally cool off here(for what you would call Autumn) until about 10 days into November. Turf Course should be firm, and favoring speed. You can count on dat lil biatch T BAZE trying to steel distance races on that turf. I'm sure he can't wait. Is Wait A While considering a trip out? T BAZE wants to work that sista. "Relax momma relax." If not her, then Raw Silk. Those two are made for each other.
