HBD Breeders Cup Special
www.HorseBettingDirect.com
The Breeders' Cup is like watching 14 Super Bowls in two day period. It's the culmination of the last year of racing pitting the very best horses from all over the globe against each other and crowning 14 champions in their respective divisions. Fourteen races over 2 days, 13 of those races will have purses over a million dollars culminating with the richest race of the year the $5 million dollar Breeders' Cup Classic.
These two days in Santa Anita will create some of the largest betting pools of the year. A score during the Breeders' Cup can make an entire year of betting or change the life story of a gambler. In the past six years the smallest pick 4 payout has been a decent $1,504.40 and the largest in the same time period is a whopping $187,256.20 in 2011. Last year's Sprint win by Trinniberg produced the highest daily double payout we have every cashed at a nice $771.60.
Prestige! Some of the greatest races that I have seen occur during these two days. Zenyatta's 2009 win against the boys was one of the greatest races I have ever seen, only to be out done the following year by her nose loss to Blame.
Wide Open Fields! With the best of the world all running against each other on the same track the fields are stacked with possible winners. Every horse can have a case be made as a possible winner. Toss outs come from hard work and great handicapping and cashing winners is simply more fun win the number on the ticket is larger.
One of the great things about these two days is that there simply isn't a single answer for this question. While we at HBD have always focused on Daily Doubles and Exacta's there is no single way to play Breeders' Cup day at the betting window. With fields this big and this talented the money will be well dispersed across the field and the payouts will be better than any other time during the betting season.
During the Breeders' Cup we play each race a little different, some of our handicapping points us toward exacta or trifecta wheels while others point toward us taking a horse across the board in a WPS Ladder or singling a horse in a horizontal.
In the end, this is simply the greatest two days to be a horse player! Good luck out there!
