He's bet a few people they couldn't pick one loser in each race at PID for a week. PID has just five cards of 8 races in a week -- so, just 40 races a week.

He says both people who took him up lost. He won't make the bet on that with me, though.

Yes, one of the horses who ran 4th (and last because it was a 4 horse field) went off at 5/1 odds -- he was beaten 13 lengths.

Only the 10th at Dmr is left. For the rest of the day, 0 for 37 with one 2nd, a relatively close call.

Horse in the 10th race at Del Mar finished a distant 11th.

As for the bum who gave the scare at Suffolk -- he got a textbook perfect trip. He was a clear 3rd early off of two breakaway speed duelers in a short field.




A lot of the greatest upsets in history happened with similar scenarios.

I did a thread about it a few years ago -- and here are some of the pictures I posted in the old thread:

* Jim Dandy won the Travers by 8 lengths at "100/1" in a 4-horse field... one bookmaker who offered 500/1 against him at Saratoga tried to jump a fence and runaway and escape after he won.




* Dare And Go stalks a 3-way pace battle between three wildly superior horses from a clear 4th...he blows Cigar and Siphon away in the stretch.



* This wasn't a famous upset -- but Malibu Moonshine paid $31.60 and won by an easy 5 lengths in a 4-horse field.




390 down, only 610 more to go.

Yesterday the bums managed to run away with another $30,613 to bring the grand total up to a very healthy $419,711.

I had a rare chance to make it to the local OTB yesterday and I was reading through the form trying to guess potential bums, and I was surprised you didn't use Big Rock Candi in the 10th at Golden Gate, seeing how he had two lifetime starts where he failed to complete the course either time, very slow works, and low percentage connections. He wound up 4th (placed 3rd by DQ) after being described as "tailed off" on the far turn during the race call.

I missed him. He had two X's on CJ's figures so I didn't look closer at him and blew past the race.

Pretty crazy that the horse started his career off with back-to-back DNF's. Even crazier that it only paid #12.60 to show. Talk about terrible value.
