cappin the cup..

Travis Stone · #1 10-29-2006, 06:21 PM

I've got one race left to cap. This is early because I leave on Tuesday, but I want to know all there is to know about every horse. No other day offers such spectacular wagering value and I feel the time spent is time well spent.

Guess I'm on the other side of the fence with this one. I've been going over the PPs since Wednesday, and while I agree that you shouldn't make your final decisions until you see where everyone is drawn, I feel like it's never too early to start mapping things out..

Ha ha, hadn't seen your post as I was writing mine. Read mine.

ddthetide · #4 10-29-2006, 06:52 PM

i personally can read to much, then not play my first thought.

i read myself right out of the kentucky oaks. thursday night i wrote down Lemons forever and friday before the race scratched her out. then did it again in the Alcibiades. standing in line to place the bet i scratched out Bel Air Beauty, that cost me the tri.

i'll try to wait until friday.

I got the Advance on Wednesday and I've just been throwing some stuff around. Its never too early to start I dont think, because the longer I look at something the more likely I'll pick up on things I've missed the first couple of times. This just gives me more time to really go over each horse, but its not like I'm writing anything down before Friday night, but I've given myself a solid foundation.

I got the Advance on Wed. also. I like to start with some of it early. Look over pedigrees a little (not my strongest suit), try to get a handle on who will set pace, stalk, close, etc. Then I usually go ahead and get a group of six to eight horses in each race that I have interest in then wait for the final entries on the next Wednesday. I'll be pretty much set up with what I'm going to do by the time I leave Thursday. Then I'll spend Thursday and Friday evening figuring out my pick 3 and pick 4 plays--these are a first for me on BC day. I usually don't play them much, so I'm going to be treading new ground this year. Just another way for me to increase my donations to the pools for all you winners

Thunder Gulch · #10 10-30-2006, 09:59 AM

I'm like a couple of you here that have been going through it bit by bit since Wednesday. Really just looking for eliminations, improving horses, and trying to get a feel for which ones really belong in this company. I think a couple of races will be impacted by the post draw, so nothing set in ink yet, but it does help to get a feel for the pace setups and cut the field down. No way I could download pp's on Friday or Saturday and do a thorough job. At the end of the day, who knows if it will make a difference because this card is really tough, but at least I'll go to the windows confident in my selections.

Me too Ateam, I haven't been looking at PP's at all but I have looked at EVERY horse TG-wise. I studied for 10 days last year and I had four winners, including Pleasant Home and Shirroco(singled). It should be interesting this year. The Classic and F/M Turf are the only place I can find singles (Ouija Board and Bernardini)

I pretty much have my picks. Only post position and an off track will make me change them.

brockguy · #13 10-29-2006, 09:30 PM

breeders cup, ive usually picked at least 2 or 3 of my picks at this stage regardless of draw etc.. Araafa is a massive bet at 5-1 in the Mile..,.... Balletto, Germance and Red Rocks are all my fancies despite not taking their initial price. Ill be happy to settle for PMU

Bogey · #14 10-29-2006, 10:23 PM

Study long, Study wrong. J/K I leave no stone unturned. Depending on PP's Ouija Board on top with Film Maker 2nd and 3rd looks pretty enticing.

We're on the same page with the F&M Turf. Film Maker is always the forgotten warrior.

I believe in that one, but in my case its the night before and I will only play a few of the races. I have had some bad secondits for over a month, so I won't play much to win.

randallscott35 · #17 10-29-2006, 06:31 PM

Guess I disagree here. I spend about 10 times longer on the Breeders Cup than any other day...Can't play it like any other day. It derserves more time and I have no problem switching my mind sometimes if I come to different conclusions from looking at the races for a long period.
