This Breeders' Cup is all about Arrogate Mike Watchmaker, DRF [Daily Racing Form] National Handicapper DEL MAR, Calif. -- I was talking last weekend to a friend of long standing, an outstanding handicapper and avid racing historian, about the Breeders' Cup. Almost immediately, the conversation turned to Arrogate, of whom we were of similar minds. We agreed that Arrogate's four-race run of the Travers, Breeders' Cup Classic, Pegasus World Cup, and Dubai World Cup just blew us away. He raved about how Arrogate shattered the track record in the Travers, running the fastest 1 1/4 miles ever at Saratoga, which...

Zenyatta and the 2009 Breeders Cup Classic “Zenyatta is over rated”, “Zenyatta never beat a quality horse”, “Zenyatta doesn't have the speed to win”, “Zenyatta peaked last year” and “Zenyatta is all hype”.

Worried about outsiders breaking into your network? Don't overlook your own employees. Just ask Autotote, where a software developer almost stole a $3 million jackpot. Serious handicappers betting on ponies know they're always bucking the odds.But the rigging of the Pick Six payoff at the Breeder's Cup championship showed how trusted insiders can manipulate networks to steal from unsuspecting bettors—long before the horses get to the gate. The million-dollar fiasco is not an isolated problem. The truth is, any company that handles financial transactions or valuable information electronically runs the risk of being fleeced by its own technology staff—or users....
