This entire BC is a fiasco. While I have never been a big fan, what has happened now is a travesty.
Nobody big............yet.

After today, I have the next 4 days off from work. I think I am more excited about betting Belmont tomorrow and Thursday than the BC this weekend

That's it....The Breeder's Cup is horrible. I'm not watching. I think I'll go to the woods and look for scat. Come on folks, sure the quality is down and it's on Poly or pro-ride or whatever, but it's still a fun day if you are a horse racing fan. It's still better than a Mid-February Aqueduct inner track card.

I doubt I will have many February days where my handle is less than it will be on all 14 BC races combined.

I don't doubt that Andy and I understand your stance on this issue. You've never been a big fan of this day and I understand that. I'm just saying in general that it's not as bad as some people are making it out to be. I'm still looking forward to a good time with my friends like we do on most "big" days in horse racing.

Is it because it is in California or because its on synthetic? If its synthetic I assume you dont play Kee on the main track anymore.
