Default Website for Steve Byk

He might find this useful after the Breeders Cup Classic next week.

Hey.. I'm not "against" Casino Drive. But it would be irresponsible for me to suggest people build their Classic wagers through him at the underlaid number he is likely to be.

I just dropped $300 on a Sirius stilleto. You will be hearing from me for years.

If Forever Together loses than I may go into hiding for a few weeks.

I actually thought his comment was funny, and I plan on betting Raven's Pass in the Classic but using CD in a few bets.

I would not be shocked though if Casino Drive romps in the BCC. Horse may just be special. That is why I thought his comment was a little ridiculous. It is very hard to toss a horse with that pedigree that just keeps humiliating his competition. I am not alone in thinking Casino Drive could win the race. Haskin and a few others seem to think very highly of him.

With all due respect, Steve Haskin is not a handicapper.

Casino Drive has next to no chance in the BC Classic....his pedigree is irrelevent.

If he goes to the lead, they may not catch him.

seriously....

makes me wish big brown hadn't retired. at least that horse won some good races, not just one lousy gr 2 against a field that has done NOTHING since.

Well, Steve was right about CD. Casino Drive was a disappointment, but Raven's Pass sure wasn't. Too bad Duke did nothing, could have made a fortune on the weekend.

Hey funny guy... isn't the great thing about this game is everyone is not only entitled to their opinion but back it financially (unlike the rest of sport in this country outside of Nevada?)

There is nothing wrong with 'liking' Casino Drive either as a horse or in this spot. However given his likely odds, I think Steve is absolutely right to NOT 'like' him in this spot.

For those who didn't hear the origin for Chris' "link" here... when pressed yesterday on ATR to endorse Casino Drive, I finally said to the caller "if he wins the Classic I'll take up needlepoint." That's the reference for QC's post...

'Twas a solid link on his part, no doubt- I laughed a little, but I still think you are correct in standing against Casino Drive here.

I really wasn't looking for an endorsement, just how he stacked up against the Euros and what price you could take on them. After looking at the PP's, it is very clear that over 30-1 on "CD" is needed.... even though the three Euros have not raced on anything other than turf, they are miles above "CD" in all respects. With that said, what are fair win odds on the three Euros trying this new surface? The "Duke" sticks out more than the other two.... which I couldn't take under 20-1 on.

Default Cross stitch pattern

Casino Drive says, "Maybe Steve Byk could use a photo of my sister beating Curlin as a pattern for his cross stitching. It would make a nice appliqué on a blanket for Mom." Seriously, I would be leaning towards Henry the Navigator at first glance, but if enough people think like Steve and give Casino Drive a fat price (18-1 or greater) I would think about including him in exotics. You can bet on potential if the price is high enough.

Casino Drive will be less than 10-1 imo
undefeated horses are usually overbet relative to their actual chances
