I always look forward to Breeders' Cup! As the Bills say - lots of money in play, not all of it well informed.

Presume that horses are always well intended and ready to run. I have always found that RDSS does a pretty good job in high class races, perhaps because they do run so formfully and the analysis does a pretty good job of ranking horses. Combine that with the fact that some horses are bet NOT on their matchup and energy disbursement merits, but rather on jockeys, trainers, reputations however acquired - and you frequently get good prices on horses which figure quite well. Of course, there is always the Euro confusion as Bill L says, and I usually don't have a good way to measure that (unless the horse is named Goldikova ...)

I moved this thread to the 2013 Breeders' Cup (Friday) Forum.

Looking forward to it again - only a week away now.
