And by the way, if you are so confident about the bookmaking business, get yourself a Betfair account where you can 'book' action like you say you wish you could.

You'll find all you can eat there.

Pointgiven,

Here are the reasons DC was a bad bet

Off a layoff
In bad hands
Distance in question
Even money
No American vetting going on
Champion in the field at the same price

Those are six reasons you dont unload on that horse, six very good reasons. We all learn from our mistake, hopefully next time you see a lightly raced, carefully campaigned horse, against a proven champion, you go the other way.
