Disingenuous?
You're right. I was being disingenuous all along.
I realized she was slow (everyone else in the fields last race was open lengths faster than her career top) and I realized she hadn't won a race in a year and a half...and I love horses who enter Grade 1's off of layoffs.
Didn't bother me at all... because I read between the lines.
This is a picture of the money I made from betting Sassy Image...I needed to carry it back in bags.
I laid some of it out on my bed...
Tiger Woods fist pump!
I threw a party that night where I invited no one but my laptops and it got out of hand.
Sassy Image!, baby!
Again. She sucked until her throat surgery...there was no published reports of her throat surgery...she was bet... and she did make a gigantic form reversal. Those are all facts. All that race did was sink me in multi-win bets where I singled the 2nd place. I can't say I'm not bitter about it ... but it is what it is.
