Title: Down for Cup.
Post by: careless hal on April 11, 2013, 03:15:21 AM

Made my air reservations for the Breeder's Cup. yesterday.  Airfare seemed cheap $300 round trip on United.  (made no dif., used air miles to pay anyway)  I know the young'ens made the hotel reservations months ago.  Had to choose between Derby and Cup.
Now, alll I have to do is figured what I played in the Derby futures pool.  Knew I shouild have written it down.  4pezz2

Last 2 yrs I did well by just guessing.   rflmao1  This year I missed the cut off date.  I'll bet you chose the right horse if you forgot!!!! ;D

I think you made the right choice. I absolutely love going to the Breeders Cup, and will be going again this year as well. I've been to both, and to me there was no comparison. The Derby is great, but leading up to the Derby is long and boring. The Breeders Cup has so many championship races you aren't waiting around all day for the big one, they're all big.
