I'm ALL OVER No Jet Lag and He Be Fire N Ice tomorrow!

They're the 2 I've had my eye on out of the whole event. If they're double figure odds, I'm on them!

I watched the HRTV show "Against the Odds" where the 2 hosts, one Brad Free, picked the BC horses today. They skunked. Neither picked a single one.

I mean, even *I* picked a couple of them. And for Free to pick a frontrunner in the Juv Fillies Turf was silly. Someone quoted a state last weekend on HRTV where not one frontrunner had one on that turf course all season. Why would anyone pick against a ridiculous bias like that? I didn't believe it when I heard it but given what I've seen during this meet, it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. And we saw it today too.

The disappointment of the day was My Conquestadory finishing out of the money.

Take some solace that its not like the horse got smoked ... 4th in a BC race isn't too shabby!  :)

As far as Free? No surprise ... they usually don't pick any better than the common man.

Tinny how early are you going to be there tomorrow? I am going to go to the SA web site to see what they say about Clockers' Corner, if anything. I would AT LEAST like to get a cup of coffee!

I'll probably be there around 8 AM.

I don't know what anyone else may think about the Mile, but I really like No Jet Lag and Silentio.  Perhaps Obviously is tailing off somewhat from his good form of earlier in the year.

Now that this crazy week is almost over, I may actually be able to look at the PPs for a nanosecond tonight. Sheesh!  :headshake:

Oh ... I love No Jet Lag ... He, along with He Be Fire N Ice, is my pick in that race.

BACK TO TOPIC - Who is going - I am = Cigarshop is - what a fabulous couple of days! Weather looks PERFECT! :forruffian:

I'm going!  :)
I'm assuming you'll be in you regular spot? Will you be at Clockers' Corner Saturday morning?

Yep ... My usual spot.

As far as Clocker's Corner? We asked them and they say there is no Clocker's Corner during The Breeders' Cup. If you've heard differently, I'd like to know as I really wanted to do it for the BC. Who knows? Maybe they just meant there would be no food services during the BC.

Maybe we should rename the thread "Who's Going to Hollywood Park?"   :)

OK ... I'll be there EVERY weekend ...

And they're gonna have to pry my hands off of it to get me to let go of it after closing day ends!   :'(

ME TOO! Would be nice to meet you finally! I am going as much as I can while I can.

Great Dusty! Just let me know sometime when you're going and we'll track each other down.  :)
