Default Put Over At Belmont??

The legendary Gregg Matties gets a 66-1 horse to win his first start drawing off by 3 and looking like much the best....Waited for a day with nice pools? Sure he didn't take a lot of money, but what could Gregg honestly put down anyway?

ARE YOU F(@#*$%(#@*$KING KIDDING ME?!?

I feel sick right now... read back the posts from last Saturday, I played golf with him and we were talking about his entries for the week, said his entry on Sunday "had a lot of problems" and probably wasn't going to run well... and he said he had a firster that was live that he was entering on Derby day... and I totally forgot about it!

The dude was 0-33 on the year, and his top horses had gotten hurt. Glad he caught a break today, even if I'm too stupid to write it on my forehead!

I cashed on that horse, Honor and Glory are so precocious, and they tipped that horses hand 3 workouts before his race when he zipped a 47 half. Followed up by 2 later works that ranked the slowest of the day. Real good put over job, but he didnt fool the entire world.

Didnt mean to redboard

This apparently will come to as a shock to some, so brace yourselves. Sometimes horses win at long odds and the connections are as surprised, or more, than the public is. If this was truly a putover, there is simply no way the horse pays 66 to 1.

It was a put over, look at his work chart and the guys stats. There is no doubt they knew that horse could run, I doubt they were surprised

I put over usually involves at least some betting action. I don't see any here.
