11: 2-3-10-12

That is probably going to be one expensive photo. Did he have to draw the 13?.

Hand over heart, the nose loss in the tenth has qualified this ticket as the single toughest beat that I have seen Breeder's Cup weekend. Steve, I know you hit late last night (Friday), but this is just a tough beat - by a nose. You get 24 hour grousing rights on Monday's ATR!

Wow, Stevie, you deserved so much better. Unbelieveable job, only to lose a nose to a plug like Court Vision. I'm so sorry.

[ninetoone]

Brutal Steve...great 'capping as usual though. Court Vision? WTF.

How did you come up with Court Vision, did you buy the race?

Good question... That's the only thing I can see of people that had that horse.

Yeah, I felt really strong about getting through the Turf and Juvenile for cheap (3x2) and played a few different tickets from there on, but had a 1/ALL and an ALL/10 ticket. Didn't like Drosselmeyer at all, especially at half the price he should have been, so oh well.

Got to mid-Ohio last night and passing through Erie on way home after 2 super weeks in the Ville. Wild Day 2 of Cup was typical one of ups and downs. As I wrote Friday, unforeseeable results -- i.e. Afleet Again and Court Vision -- will send you reeling, but you just need to keep swinging. Had some very good ideas and harrowing misses and came away feeling great about the approaches to weekend. Hope the opinions helped everyone do well or at least get something along the way..

Really looking forward to huge ATR Cup recap week with Bill Mott, virtually every other winning trainer, Johnny V, Mike Smith, Corey Nakatani, owners, breeders, pundits and much more!

Steve - I was lucky enough to cash on Afleet Again yesterday..He certainly made my Breeders Cup 2011..

We had met the owners at Saratoga in August and they invited us into the paddock prior to the John's Call Stakes. He didn't run a lick that day, but I stuck with him yesterday because I remembered Butch saying he wanted to run all day.

Congrads to Butch Reid and AA..Hope you have him on the show this coming week.....

Steve your confidence in Drosselmeyer helped my decision. Thanks once again for being an outstanding and unselfish person.

Same thing happened to me in the 2010 Belmont. And I got beat by........Smith and Drosselmeyer.

I have watched the Turf Mile race now about ten times. Turallure was ahead before the pole and after the wire ... but somehow not at the wire. TOUGH beat!
