Alright y’all, it’s that time again — Breeders’ Cup season — which means I’m once again makin’ the same ol’ pep talk and answerin’ the same ol’ questions. Every. Single. Year.
The big one I always get is, “When’s the BC gonna be ready?”And bless your hearts, I know we live in a time when folks can’t function unless their smartphones tell ‘em how to breathe.
Common sense has taken a backseat to push notifications.
Now — pre-entries ain’t the same as entries. That’s just the connections sayin’ which races they’d like to be in. You don’t get post positions or morning line odds ‘til Monday or Tuesday of Breeders’ Cup week. So no, we can’t release something that don’t exist yet.
Then there’s always that one fella who says, “Well, the earlier the better!” which never fails to make me laugh. I’m like, buddy, this ain’t a crockpot recipe — you don’t just set it and forget it.
Here’s the plan:We’ll release Thursday for Friday’s card, and Friday for Saturday’s. And before anybody gets their britches in a bunch or goes callin’ for the manager, lemme explain.
First off — watchin’ horses on the track up through Thursday gives us a real edge. You’d be amazed how quick a horse can go from lookin’ like Secretariat to lookin’ like me tryin’ to jog to the mailbox. That last-minute insight matters.
And second, we gotta protect our stuff. We’ve got folks out there just waitin’ to snatch up our info and slap their name on it. I swear, the internet’s full of opportunists and straight-up frauds. Some of these people are more shameless than a possum at a picnic.
Speaking of picnics we are having our Racingwithbruno Breeders Cup dinner.... write me for more info.
So yeah, between the handicappin’, the CaWs, and tryin’ to come up with winners, we also gotta worry about people piratin’ our info. It never stops. And yeah — people suck.
Our edge — our real advantage — is that we’re there, in person, seein’ the horses with our own eyes. We don’t rely on data dressed up like gospel. We rely on reality.
Because let me tell you, every Breeders’ Cup and Derby turns into a comedyapalooza. Suddenly, every horse “looks fantastic,” every work “was awesome,” every trainer “couldn’t be happier.” You ever once hear one of ‘em say, “Yeah, my horse galloped like dog shite this morning”*? Of course not. It’s always, “He did exactly what we wanted.” , and my personal favorite, 'He was all dappled out', dapples are simply meaning the horse is healthy. That's it! I can't recall anyone every saying, I bet that horse because he had more dapples than the favorite. Meanwhile, we got the video of the jockey pullin’ out the stick just to keep the poor thing movin’ in the mornin' dapples and all.
That’s why you buy RacingWithBruno. We don’t blow smoke up your arse make you read between the lines. We like what we like, in black and white. We don’t tell you what you wanna hear, we tell you what you need to to hear. We don’t jump on bandwagons after the fact and pretend we “had the winner all along.”
We tell the truth. We stand by our work. You deserve honesty — not propaganda, not clickbait, and definitely not somebody else’s recycled opinion.
So remember: Thursday for Friday, Friday for Saturday. The Zooms are on Thursday and Friday evening and if that gets in the way of Happy Hour at your nearest watering hole, we send you the replay, you can enjoy with your hangover and a bloody Mary.
On a sad note, we would like to offer Amy Kearns and her family, condolences on the loss of her 'work buddy' this morning, the 13 year old 'Baby Jack'. He was there with her every day at her desk and was responsible for quite a few winners Amy came up with. He was a large coon cat, with zest and character. He will be missed. RIP Baby Jack.
We’ll keep our hearts open, our info tight, and our sense of humor intact. ‘Cause every Breeders’ Cup’s a circus — and we’re the only ones who brought a shovel.
