Tuley's BC Winners
through the years
    I had three winners with my top picks in the 14 Breeders' Cup races last year (More Than Real at 13-1 in the Juvenile Fillies Turf, Big Drama at 5-1 in the Sprint, and Dangerous Midge at 8-1 in the Turf). A $2 win bet on each would have brought back payoffs of $60.60 or better than a 100% return on investment (better than any of the 25 handicappers I was listed with in the Daily Racing Form). Also keep in mind this doesn't include any horses that I listed as a longshot play (Eldaafer at 10-1 in the Marathon, Unrivaled Belle at 7-1 in the Ladies' Classic) or others I listed in my top 4 picks (Eldaafer, Dubai Majesty, Awesome Feather, Pluck, Uncle Mo, Goldikova) -- those three were all selections on top!!!
   But my success is nothing new as I've been picking every race in the Breeders' Cup the past 12 years in the pages of GamingToday, in the Daily Racing Form and at seminars here in Vegas and on radio shows all over. All my top picks have been the same in all outlets and during that time there have been 117 races (8 races a year from 1999 through 2006; 11 in 2007; 14 the past three years). A flat $2 win bet on my top selection in each race would have cost $234 and resulted in payoffs of $444.40, 89.9% return on investment or $3.79 for each $2 wagered.
