So that brings up the question about betting loyalty. How loyal are you guys? Does loyalty only matter for G1 type horses like EC and PD, or do you guys have $10,000 claimers that you would bet every time because you are a fan, or just because they have been good to you in the past? If EC was in a race against Deep Impact and Hurricane Run, should GPK still bet him to win? What do you guys think?

He is the ONLY horse I do that for only because he hasn't faced the likes of Deep Impact and Hurricane Run. Im smart enough to realize when I think he can and can not win. The Arlington Million, not a doubt in my mind he is capable of winning that race, and that is the only reason I bet him. If he was in a race against the likes of DI or HR, I would maybe put a very small wager on him, but not the normal $100 bet that I normally place on him.
