Track Phantom | When I started following horse racing in 1986 the betting menu was dramatically different. It was certainly more rudimentary. Trifecta options were rare. Superfectas and pentafectas didn’t exist. Nor did a pick four or pick five wager.
viewTrack Phantom | The horse racing calendar is divided into four parts: Triple Crown, Summer, Breeders’ Cup and post-Breeders’ Cup.
viewTrack Phantom | The Breeders’ Cup starts on Friday with a new format. They will run all five Breeders’ Cup Juvenile races on Friday and leave Saturday to the older divisions.
viewTrack Phantom | I used to believe in the “study long, study wrong” mentality. There is some truth to this. But not as it relates to the Breeders’ Cup. There is just too much information to digest to wait until race day.
viewTrack Phantom | The 35th Breeders’ Cup will take place at Churchill Downs on Friday, November 2nd and Saturday, November 3rd. The serious preps have been contested and the races are starting to take shape.
