1/28 (GP): $12MM Pegasus World Cup

[Pants II]

I'm boycotting Gulfstream the rest of the meet.

Hope Perry and Co. scratch.

It would be different if they actually had good horses in the race but this is a field of plugs and it is entirely unacceptable for the fans.

The very fact that almost 70% of the voters opting for one of the big two have somehow chosen CA Chrome over Arrogate shows that it is a fan's vote and not a bettors one. CA Chrome is an internet darling. This is not a criticism, this is a fact. That is really all that vote represents....save that 10% like the field, which is probably too high, but relatively fair.

I think you are offering what the odds "should" be, not what they will be.

There will probably be a lot of "sentimental" or "fan" money on CC - it will be closer to 4:5 and 1:1 - but yes, Arrogate will be favored
