1:2 is a possibility, 2:5 is more likely.

I'm going to play a small Oaks/ Derby Double.

I know you are kidding, but I can't "empty my wallet" in even a one horse race at 1:2 or less.

I will probably bet just about every dollar I have left on me if she is 1-2 as they're halfway in the gate....and I'm not a fan of betting short chalk ever. But if I can turn, let's say, $100 into $150 on a horse that should absolutely win, I'll take it. Maybe that's stupid, and bordering on coming close the folks I laugh at when their bridge-jumping backfires in an attempt to make five cents on the dollar. Just can't see it any other way.
