Breeders Cup 2008: On automatic

For those of you who missed it,here--with edits--is a reprint of my Breeders Cup strategy--and why.

In 30+ years of playing the game, I have found a few absolute truths:

1. The most impossible races to handicap are the worst horses in the world.
2. The second most impossible races to handicap are the best horses in the world.

Don't listen to me. After all the seminars, the forums, the analysis and the hype just look at the results of the professionals--and, their list of excuses.

On the two Breeders' Days, I will look for value in the surrounding cards. I will play the Cup Races, casually and enjoy them. I plan to exacta box 27 in all the races and make a few win bets on second favorites.

It's and easy game and an easy day.
