Betting Zenny and RA

If one of them goes off at or above $5 to win and the other returns at least $4.20 no matter which one of them wins your money ahead. I know I know what if neither of them win then your screwed. Just thinking out loud. Also I wonder which one will have the most show money on them. Oaklawn pays .05 on a dollar I think.

LOL...$5.00 to win...and the other $4.20.????...dude you are smoking some real good 420 if you think this scenario has any chance. First, lets see how many entries, then maybe you will see two 1/2 shots or a 2/5 and 4/5

More value playing one to be out of the exacta.

As exciting as this race will be from a fan standpoint, it's going to be next to impossible to wager on it with success.

Unless Winning Colors, Personal Ensign, Lady Secret and Ruffian are in the field I think we can assume one of the two will be odds on

I can't really say exactly how I will play the race at this point since we don't even know who is in the race or what the big two will do over the next two months. However, I supect I will just play RA to win...even if she's odds on.
If there is other speed in the race....I'll bet some on RA.
If there isn't other speed in there....I'll bet some more on RA.

could set up the biggest bridge to jump off of in a long time!

TheSpyder · #8 02-13-2010, 09:48 AM

Why even think about betting on this race? Unless you have a strong opinion, which I think may be next to impossible, this is a race to just sit back and watch, one for the ages.

RA to win big and backwheel exacta. It will be the first time in a year you get anything close to even money on her.

I think the best you can do is buy a ticket and keep it as souvenir. In the future that ticket will have a collectible value.

booner · #11 02-13-2010, 12:38 PM

I'm with Spyder on this one. I'll just sit back and enjoy the show.

Make a $50 win bet on Zenyatta, and after Zenyatta loses, sell the ticket to Smooth Operator for $100.

Easy money.

I agree

this is not a race that you can make money on unless neither of them are in the exacta and who would bet that

I would bet Z at 4-5 or 1-1 if they get crazy on Rachel. Maybe not win bet, but single in picks.

She wont be, they will bet her harder then Z.
I have no doubt about that.

Money is good to just run in the top four with every horse getting cash just to run. I wonder when they'll announce whose being given the Golden Ticket to get into the gate of 10?
