Hey, I've got the trifecta with a 52/1 finishing 2nd and a 99/1 finishing 3rd!

And see him letdown when the prices come up and his trifecta only pays $3.30 for a buck.

You go easy on Pmay!

Pmay crushed that tri.

Did you see the pedigree of the winner of the 3yo Minn bred fillies stake one race earlier?

By Leroidesanameaux out of an Indian Charlie mare. Your type of breeding, for a Minny bred. They got her some cheap black type.

Just read on the Canterbury blog that just before the horses were off somebody placed a $150,000 win wager. Don't know where it originated.

Why not do a $150,000 show wager instead? You know you'll get $2.10 either way.

The chart says the horse brushed the 3rd place finisher out of the gate.

It's only a 3yo with three prior starts under him. Imagine how sick the guy would have felt if he had fouled someone and was placed 3rd by DQ.

I understand the wager was placed through a TVG account. Maybe Todd and Matt(two former Canterbury guys) pooled theie life savings.

They did it again today. Roughly $232,000 to win on Heliskier and $210,000 to show on him. He won for fun without being asked, another race restricted to Minnesota breds.

Cantebury has an 7.75% rebate through one of the shops that I know of, so he is making 25k per bet (15k rebate and 10k cash). Some specific shops have a 2.10 rule but some don't

So this guy has made 100k if he put 200k win/show both times
