Is there racing this weekend?
I suppose I'll watch the Breeders' Cup and maybe even bet a few races but I just haven't been able to get excited about it. Last year I was hostile to the idea of a Breeders' Cup run on a synthetic surface and gloated in the fact that handle numbers were down. This year I just don't care. I've started to sour on the idea of the Breeders' Cup on any surface since it promotes one championship performance instead of a sustained campaign. This has translated into Eclipse awards for horses with just a handful of starts and sometimes only one outstanding performance (in the Breeders' Cup).
I have vowed to bet the Breeders' Cup heavily when it returns to Churchill Downs in 2010 and hope to be there in person. Last year I took my $2000 bankroll and bought a few stocks instead of betting the races. As of today my bankroll is valued at $3,734, an 86.7% return (vs the S&P 500 which is up 21.6%). I will put another $2000 representing this year's bankroll into the market on Monday. My plan is to cash out a week before the '10 Breeders' Cup and bet it all at Churchill Downs.

You degenerate! Who gave you the tips on stocks and the invitation to the Cup next year? Hey all you broken down old horse players, Greyhound will be walking around with lots of cash next year so easy pick'ins are in your future.
And lastly since you won't watch much would it hurt to spend a bit more time with your wife and kids?
