Fun in the Miami Sun

[Calzone Lord]

More fun at Calder today!

Now, Miami is a big city...and the Kentucky Oaks day should bring a few people to the racetrack.

Race #4: Is the first hysterical result chart of the day:

The winner goes off at odds of 13/1. The second place finisher goes off at 18/1. The third place finisher goes off as the 4/5 favorite.

Naturally, the heavy favorite pays $5.60 to show. The two double digit longshots pay just $4.60 to show and $5.40 to show.


Race #5 is won by a horse who pays $16.00 to win. Race #6 is won by a horse who pays $5.60 to win. The $2 Daily Double coupling these two winners pays just $12.00


In three different instances today, a winning horse paid more to show than he did to win:

Race #7: http://www1.drf.com/drfPDFChartRaces...=20130503&RN=7

Race #10: http://www1.drf.com/drfPDFChartRaces...20130503&RN=10

Race #11: http://www1.drf.com/drfPDFChartRaces...20130503&RN=11

One of the Daily Double pools only had $212 in it.

Again, I ask ... if a tree falls in the woods, does that mean that Calder ran another horse race?

What an unbelievable waste. The greyhound tracks had bigger pools again.
