Breeder's Cup skews championship status

[Tim Y]

Personal experience with some of the best players I know showed a major tendency to WATCH and maybe bet ONE contest here and there. There are too many contenders, top to bottom, unless you have an enormous bankroll and can cover deep.

A group of fellows were in our press box on Breeder's Cup day the past three years. Capable players too. None walked out winners. They learned, I hope, what I did many moons ago, it is a day to watch not wager.

Most of the mixed fields (Euro and elsewhere) cannot be compared one on one to the US contingent. I have been privy to the British based Time Form evaluations for several years via a bookie friend, and THEY were as biased to the racing across the pond as ours was locally. Actually only a single horse they had ranked high hit the board this last go round.

TOO many variables for long term parimutuel profits.
