Breeders Cup 2012

If ever there was a case study as to why value wagering is important, the Breeders’ Cup is it. Played out in the classrooms of Belmont Park, Santa Anita, Churchill Downs and other venues, the Breeders’ Cup races demonstrate why Vince Lombardi would have made a terrible gambler. Winning isn’t the only thing — price matters.

Hence, I implore handicappers to focus on finding viable contenders rather than “winners” on Nov. 2-3 at Santa Anita. In fact, by eliminating horses that can’t — or probably won’t — win and insisting on reasonable odds on the ones that can, the Breeders’ Cup can be a veritable ATM machine for value-oriented bettors.

Consider this: Since 1999, playing my Win Factor Report (WFR) morning-line overlays has produced a 73.14% ROI, with nine (of 13) winning years.

The rules are simple and are detailed in my Win Factor Reports — which are offered as part of the Ultimate Breeders' Cup Handicapping Package at Brisnet.com.

As for my thoughts on the BC Classic specifically, as well as some great stats on Lasix and the effect the ban of that drug in juvenile races might have, check out the video below:
