I saw that right before I left work. Wonder what the price is gonna be like in a shorter field than last time.

I'd say the price will definitely be right, and he had a useful comeback race.

GET ON IT.

Price will be right but he has no shot, load is blown on the horse.....Never even heard of the jockey

He also had no shot when he won at 35-1, no shot when he ran second at ~80-1 or when he ran 3rd in the Cigar two years ago. He ran better than he should have on paper first back. The only times he ever wins or runs well is when he "has no shot."

I don't go after him the way I used to, but hell if I"m going to get caught watching him possibly blow up the board yet again.

He had a shot those days because I had him, in every possible exotic and walked away needing another pocket. He was extremely playable at 35/1 that day at Arlington, which looking at it, was over two years ago. Also, the reason he was 80/1 in that race was because their was a nut horse in the race that drew in, named SUAVE. I had that exacta that day and it paid extremely cheap, $120 I think. He is a better horse at Arlington, where he will get a better jock and be 3rd off the layoff
