You're probably right that's what he meant and I agree with you. Either you had to find a cold exacta ( or small tri spread ) or pass. That was a silly favorite try to beat.

I bet, and I lost, but give me that scenerio five times a day and I'll make a fortune.

I totally agree, the problem is finding the winner. I liked Officer Rocket and Forty Grams as stated in another post. But they did not win. Spun would have taken even more money if he had a better post also. I never thought Teufelsberger (yes I play games withnames) would do it. Just did not see that coming.

Yeah, I lost some money, boxed the two you mentioned along with the 7 and 9 I think.

Still happy for the opportunity. The betting in that race was sheer lunacy.

Sorry, was thinking ahead of my typing and referring to another thread, Hard Spun, etc. I did mean to refer to the "attachment" that one might have had to Hard Spun and the wagering perspective.
