Geez, how did the 6 get up to 5-1? When I put in my bet with a minute or two to post the horse had gone down to 7-2. I would have taken the 6 over the 3 at 5-1.

The only way you like the 6 at 5-1 or less is if you're resigned to the fact that the trainer has an incredible edge with moving up cripples.

Almost like a Jesus with horses.

Or you compare Castellano's race riding knowledge with Evans, Lanerie, Saez, and Cornelio - only Rajiv stood a tactical chance there when he was fifth on the outside, but those fractions were just too slow.

Agreed - as I wrote, I wanted to change my bet before they hit the first turn.

Saw that you took Lanerie on Romancing the Gold - it is amazing to me that any trainers are giving him chances at this point. He never put this horse's speed to any use in that race.

He had to stop at the top of the stretch. The idiot on the 1 tried the rail...then went wide and lost by a nose.

At least the connections were loyal. A lot of good that does the bettors...the ****ing idiots.

My liking the 6 at 5-1 had a lot more to do with disliking anyone else in this field than finding positives with the 6.

And yes, Scott, I wasn't thrilled with Lanerie riding the 3. I threw out in my pk5 because I expected the horse to be 6-5 in this field, but at 6-1 on a Jacobson in a field of mules, I thought it was worth a shot. Like I said, at 5-1, I would have bet the 6 as I really thought the 1 would be, and was, way over bet. Of course, I overlooked the fact that it takes a competent rider to get a speed horse out of the gate quickly.

I am not sure why the 1 was not taken down for that stunt.
