it just seems unfair to let money be burned like that. even at 81-1, on BC day that is a lot of money. a bet on him was like just throwing money away -- i can't believe they let people do that.

I'm all for letting people throw away their money to help my cause. If they don't care enough to look at the Form and are just betting on random things then they deserve to lose on the occassions where they pick a rabbit. I've had plenty of days where I've spent tons of time capping the race and lost a bet just to hear some lady say she just hit the 2-1-3 trifecta because her grandson's birthday is February 13th. I think the best was when the dual rabbit Dutrow entry went off at like 12-1.
