As you may or may not be familiar with our long-standing tradition, let me remind you of the rules: I handicap, the bottle spins. I've had my fair share of winners over the years, however the Magic Beer Bottle should never be discounted, notable wins being Stephanie's Kitten and Amazombie last year.

Admittedly, I'm somewhat uninspired with both the Marathon and the Sprint. There's a strong possibility that if I even elect to wager on those races, I may opt for some imaginative combination of various family birthdays tossed into a 50-cent trifecta box and hope for the best. Those assorted numbers include but are not limited to 1,2,5,8,9,10.
Have a great Breeders' Cup weekend! Good luck!

Looking forward to seeing you at LSP on Saturday (Friday Night Lights comes first) and celebrating the winners. I have missed your regular blogs but understand being a "taxi driver" for the most important parts of our lives.
I went over to the track this morning to place my Friday BC wagers. And in a dazzling display of handicapping and/or bottle-spinning talent, two of our selections are scratched!
Super Ninety Nine is out of the Juvenile Sprint. So it's chalky Merit Man over modest-longshot Hazardous.
In the Marathon, The Magic Beer Bottle's selection Worth Repeating is out with an injury. Well, the bottle is in the recycle bin and we didn't bet that race anyway. Pick a good one for us!
And to Anon: Thanks for the kind words! I'm a band chaperone for tonight's game. Good news: It's warm! Better news: It doesn't require serving messy cheesy nachos in the concession stand!
After that Hightail pick, all hail the Bottle! :-)
I did a little calculating (geek beancounter that I am) and $2 WPS across the board on all 15 Magic Beer Bottle Picks resulted in $165.20 in returns and $75.20 in profit.
My friend gave me money to play $2 WPS on the 4 horse all weekend returned $119.
Who needs handicapping?!
Great stuff...as always.
Thanks for counting beans, SpaceMan. But don't neglect that The Magic Beer Bottle had two scratched entries so there's $12 never wagered. Oh, and then just for the heck of it, let's just toss out rolling daily doubles; the Little Mike/Trinniberg Daily Double paid $771.60! Crunch that!
Meanwhile, the only thing I got on Saturday was the pitiful Groupie Doll/Dust and Diamonds exacta and steep bar tab!
I'm so giving up this handicapping nonsense! Long live the Bottle!
Steep bar tab???? Not at LSP. LOL.
Eheheh, now I feel sorry for non horsey spouses! We had something similar on the 6th of this month for 'The Race That Stops the Nation'. Thankfully my non horsey spouse put up with the race with me!
