Do you have betting loyalty?

I assume Buffy won't be betting against Perfect Drift anytime soon either.

So that brings up the question about betting loyalty. How loyal are you guys? Does loyalty only matter for G1 type horses like EC and PD, or do you guys have $10,000 claimers that you would bet every time because you are a fan, or just because they have been good to you in the past? If EC was in a race against Deep Impact and Hurricane Run, should GPK still bet him to win? What do you guys think?

He is the ONLY horse I do that for only because he hasn't faced the likes of Deep Impact and Hurricane Run. Im smart enough to realize when I think he can and can not win. The Arlington Million, not a doubt in my mind he is capable of winning that race, and that is the only reason I bet him. If he was in a race against the likes of DI or HR, I would maybe put a very small wager on him, but not the normal $100 bet that I normally place on him.

I agree with this completely. I'll bet my favorites no matter what. But if the race is tough....I'll get real conservative.

Always bet on Tagg on the grass. Easy money.

If I own them, I bet them no matter what. We had a first time starter at the fairgrounds that the trainer said our horse could swim for miles ,but she couldn't run very fast. She payed $17.20 wire to wire. You should of seen the look on his face.

Unraced Maidens I will always put a small bet on a Gulch or Hadif baby.
