Handicapping & BC Notes
This week’s column is somewhat like the “Maury Show” — a lot of subjects, a lot of thoughtful opinions and a lot of serious analysis… come to think of it, this week's column is nothing like the “Maury Show.”
However, I’m confident readers will be riveted by the content — despite the fact that no paternity tests are involved.
Let’s kick off the festivities with a discussion of the upcoming Breeders’ Cup.
Given that the BC races traditionally bring together the best of the best, it should come as no surprise that decent recent form is nearly as important to BC success as those two hydrogen atoms in H2O are to fish.
