BC False Favorites

[Vinnie]

I concur with you gents. Drefong could be a bit dressed up, however, he has a superb work tab of late. If somehow he pops the gate and gets the front he could be difficult to run down. Love Imperial Hint in here. Has shown the ability to rate and I have heard that he is literally coming out of his skin earlier this week. He is my bet of the day along with Suedois in R9... Hopefully get 9/2 or right about there on him as I believe with any luck he may be slightly overlooked as the possibly the third or fourth choice in this group come race time.

Two starts is the new 10...see Unbridled Forever

2 is 10...yeah.

That is why it has been many years since we had more than a couple of real champions on the track. It is the breed....not the t-bred breed, the PEOPLE breed. Today's owners and trainers pretty much suck.

I know one thing, if one is counting on a 3/5 in the BC Turf Sprint. Its time get your head examined. I'm not sure about this sprinter either.

Yeah, but c'mon. Turf sprint for a Euro 3/5? A two year old 3/5 and that 3 yo sprint filly was never in a race like that.........Bailey called her a "lock".

I can see Highland Reel but a few of the others were way over bet......these fields are too contentious.

Most people on race days like this just bet with the rest of the crowd. Horses can have similar data and one will be 3-1 and the other 20-1. Many times it's really minor drawbacks that make the difference in those odds. Experienced bettors are accustomed to betting their own states product, and aren't as skilled at betting fields of horses that have not seen each other before. Especially in 2 year old races, and turf fields.

belated nice call!
