Beat the Breeders' Cup!Get all the answers for the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championship at Belmont Park, October 27. It's been 6 years since Belmont hosted the Breeders' Cup in 1995. Much has changed in that time: the Breeders' Cup purses have grown to $13 million dollars, the Filly & Mare Turf race was added and of course the new name. One thing has remained constant, the Breeders' Cup is still racing's greatest day of wagering. No other day of racing offers so much value. Bettors willing to wade through the full fields and stiff competition are rewarded with high payoffs and the chance of winning a $5 million guaranteed Pick 6. The trick is to negotiate the many variables each Cup race introduces. Handicappers need to know which juveniles are ready to stretch out, what 3 years olds are ready to face their older counterparts and who are the top horses abroad. Only one site can you give the answers to all these questions - Brisnet.com .

Keeneland Offers Lower TakeoutThe Keeneland Fall Meeting (October 5 - 27) will offer a new, lower takeout of 16% on all wagers. Historically 19% on exotic wagers, Keeneland's takeout will now be only 16%, the lowest in the country for multiple wagers (e.g. exacta). That is welcome news for handicappers in an era when many tracks often fail to do what's best for the fans. "Bettors on track and at simulcast outlets throughout the country will receive a greater return on each dollar bet, which we believe will result in more money being wagered on our races," said Keeneland President Nick Nicholson. Keeneland is following the example of the New York Racing Association, which concluded a record meet after introducing a new, lower takeout this year. "Under the enlightened leadership of board chairman Barry Schwartz, the takeout was reduced at the New York Racing Association, starting with the Saratoga meeting." "Keeneland and Belmont will alternate post times this fall," Nicholson continued. "On most days, races will be spaced about 15 minutes apart, enabling simulcast patrons a greater opportunity to watch the post parade and wager on their selection." Online wagering will be available on Keeneland through TwinSpires.com. Remember active TwinSpires.com members automatically receive a 20% discount on Brisnet handicapping products. Support Keeneland and this great opportunity for you, the horseplayer. For a complete listing of all takeout percentages at every track, click here. |
