Default Also Eligible overlooked at GP

Did you see that AE in the 8th race at GP today winning at 8-1 from 2-1 M/L
#16 Tejida

With 8 min left to post this horse was at 28-1 then dropped to 8-1 and won easily. The Pick 3 paid almost 3 times more than the other favorites in the race.

I thought 8-1 was pretty fair on Tejida, put the point is well taken. She opened up at 50-1. Some good money can be made by including AE's that draw in. They're almost always overlaid if there's a big field. This is why I don't understand when people complain that some tracks don't tell you during the scratches that an AE has drawn in. If you just pay attention, you'll be rewarded. I don't want the track reminding everyone to bet on my AE that they may have assumed scratched.

So well said. Making money in racing is about being sharp and taking all the advantages you can. It's not our fault if people do not under the AE draw in rules...more money for us

Same deal went for the #15 horse who finished third and if you boxed them in a tri with some others you are looking at 1000 dollar tri payoff

LOL, those "some others" was a 22-1 horse from the main body of the race that ran second. I think just about any trifecta without Mousse Au Chocolat and with Ashley's River in the middle would've paid well.

Again, I don't think that the 15 or 16 were overlaid much, if at all, in this race, but it's a worthwhile angle for sure.

I can still hear people saying, "here comes a 90-1 shot, He's going to win! oh, no I got every horse but that one!!"
