Default What is wrong with people in New Joisey??

Let me see if I can figure this one out.

Gotcha Gold upsets the 1/5 or 1/9 Lawyer Ron last time out at Monmouth at 10/1.

Lawyer Ron comes back and blitzes a decent grade 1 race at the spa in track record time.

Gotcha Gold runs back today again at Monmouth against complete nothings and goes off at 15/1!!

So, not only do they talk funny down there, apparently they don't even know how to read or think either!!

Not a Joisey-ite or anything (only in the summer), but if Im not mistaken the whole country has a chance to wager on that race. The odds are reflected by the publics wagering. I'm with you that it is unfathomable that the horse that beat Lawyer Ron could go off at such odds.

It's always easy at 7:00 when the race goes off at 5:00.

wow!

this is one of those days everything came in and i didn't go to the otb or track

touchdown peyton in the 2 mile race , and Gotcha Gold

of course if this "bad luck" continues this should mean that lava man will infact win tommorow and my only bet of the weekend will pay out less than i invested...

15-1 !

Gotcha Gold is a nice horse! 9 furlongs was certainly the factor every critical eye was concentrating on but 15-1!

it is worse than a bad beat , a few no-bets and they pay huge

brilliant post dude.

i guess from here on out i'm going to ask what were people thinking 2 hours after every race has been run.

i wish things came as easily to me as they do to you.

IMO, this is probably the overlay of the year so far. He not only beat Lawyer Ron over the track last out, he was MUCH the best, doing all the work setting an insane pace and holding on.
