![]() Has a horse ever been claimed for 16K or less - and won a Graded Stakes race next time out?
This came within a neck of happening today in the Grade 2 Tampa Derby - when Crimson Knight had to settle for second in a hard fought battle. The Tampa Derby outcome was an absolute tragedy for gamblers who realized Bretheren was a complete pig - running all 84 figures with very soft trips ... however ... there was nothing even remotely reasonable to play against him with in that spot today. |

I don't remember if Shaggy Mane was claimed - but she made a similar run. |

![]() 43-1 over 86-1 and the Super pays 19 K... I would say that shows the impact of the Dime Supers for you. How many would have those in the top 2 at 1.00 increment.

![]() They could have included the winner off the Davis. (I used Beamer and Too Experience, but not Watch Me Go.) But the runner up? Uh, doubtful. (Make that impossible.)

![]() I know one guy that was touting Crimson Knight to hit the board, but that idiot thought he would be on the lead the whole way and get caught late.

![]() Thanks! She was one of my all time favorites.

![]() What is your basis for calling her "wildly overrated"? Her 30-1 odds in the BC? Her 8-1 odds in her first graded win? Or the fact that she wasn't favored at Keeneland despite having won 11 of 12?

![]() I'm not being a wiseguy here, serious question, did you follow racing closely when she was running?

I see your point...I was there at Belmont for the Sprint as well, but I was fairly clueless back then about racing, just knew that I liked her from seeing her in MD. I'm just a little less clueless now ![]() |
