Tips/Thoughts on Breeders' Cup tickets this year?

heart shaped really ran like crap from the 12 hole
seriously though overall they didnt run well but if you follow this notion all the way through it is bound to burn you at least once. visit ran a solid race and the synthetic euros didnt fare well. i doubt the heat is what did most of them in today.

I was diappointed in Halfway to Heaven but Heart Shaped was my top pick and Maram my second, so while a reversal of the phto would have been nice, the Euro was hardly a disgrace, from post 12.

you are right but remember you said Euro, singular one horse out of 8 showed anything, I see a couple doing okay sat. however for all the hype this year on the Euros I think it's going to be poor showing, just an opinion, i'm not a pro like all the bloggers on the site.

By the way didn't you box it ? It paid better the way it came in right?

Visit ran well before patently failing for stamina.

I thought the second and third in the 'Ladies Classic' are classified as Euros (for all they've never been to the continent in their lives!).

Euros yesterday

Sprint - no Euros, although Ventura started her career over there. Lady Sprinter is a South American

Li'l Babes on Grass -April Pride, placed in a G3
Beyond our Reach, placed in a G1 on soft ground
Heart Shaped, won a listed race on good (firmish) ground,
2 lengths 4th in G2, 4 lengths 4th in a G1 on good

Li'l Babes -Pursuit of Glory, 3rd in a 6f G1 on good, won on Poly for maiden

Turf (10f) - Visit, never run past 8f, longest win at 7f
Halfway to Heaven -most work at 8f, won 10f G1 at Goodwood
Folk Opera - has run well up to 14f by leading on slow pace

Classic - Cocoa Beach is a Chilean who ran in Dubai, not a EUro

So that makes 7 Euros, but only two whose failure was unexpected - Pursuit of Glory, who was hung outside in the 11 post, and Halfway to Heaven, a 3yo facing her elders, but not for the first time.
