BCBC Diaries: Episode 6
On the new BCBC Diaries, PTF kicks things off looking at last weekend's qualifiers — a list which includes two former Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge Champions! His first guest is Jackson Muniz, who gives us an update and shares his experience of watching a BC Win-and-You're-In race in person, with The Chosen Vron emerging victorious in the Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes at Del Mar, thus punching his ticket for the Breeders' Cup Sprint. This week's second and final guest is accomplished tournament veteran Frank Mustari. Frank, in addition to being the sire of BCBC DIaries regular Justin, had a great showing at the Del Mar Handicapping Challenge last weekend, finishing second and winning a BCBC seat. He also shares a Breeders' Cup memory, looking back to when Caravel won the BC Turf Sprint. Source
