I will not give props to any post that includes

Regal Ransom is a mortal lock since I'm not betting him

I didn't bet Regal Ransom

that is usually enough for any horse to sprout wings...

I made my comments before looking at the PPs
I wasn't planning on betting but did

and $5 WPS helped but I kept playing

so all of my Giant Oak money is gone

time - the gamblers biggest enemy

Saw the race, Giant Oak lost by a head and placed first off a DQ. Still a good call and a ticket cashed.

It wasn't a good call at all. It was a lucky call. I don't expect you to understand the difference.

Happy for the connections.

But while it's tough to argue with the DQ of the winner -- I think it was very easily the right call -- it's also tough to think the original winner wasn't 6 furlongs the best in that race, which I'm guessing from your tone in this thread, you already knew.

Tough crowd.

Give me a "lucky" call that cashes over a "good" call that doesn't anyday.

I try and save accolades for when they are deserved. Betting a notorious hanger, that hangs, only to get put up because the winner (who was lengths the best) gets an as.shole ride and interferes with a different horse seems more like a lucky break than a good call to me.

I'm weird like that.
