well i guess ed fountaine has no crediblitly either he must be watching these races with me at the local otb parlor

Wow...a horse can rear up, sit down and be in the hands of the starter the entire time. Come on man, this has gone too far. A lot of weird things happened in this race, but in the end, you lost, I lost, and a whole bunch of other people lost. I used the 6 and 7, but never looked at the 3 until the race was over. I was not a big fan of the 2, but I thought he'd be around for at least 3rd. As far as the payouts, this happens all the time. How come people don't say much when the exacta/triple/super comes out a bit higher than the Win/Place parlay?

Andy did an excellent job of explaining all of this and Handicappy gave us his take. It's time to move on and get ready for today's card.
