I see he’s running at Emerald Downs in the Longacres Mile and listed with an 8/5 morning line. Does he have a chance to lose? There is no way we can get 8/5 on him, right?

First start in 16 months. He can obviously win but I’m not sure he’s the kind of 8/5 shot you want to bet.

I’m betting a few bucks on Take Charge Deputy

I’m going to see what the odds are but his works look fine and he seriously outclasses this bunch. Main competition may be Five Star General. You might be right to look for a longshot closer though.

I’d rather bet coin flips than that track

He went off at 6/5. I honestly thought he would be more like 3/5 or even 2/5.

Owner has been dying to win the Mile. Tired of finishing 2nd so he brought up his big gun. Had to be ready off those works. Exacta a gift $12 for 2 horses that towered over field. Pays $4.40 to win when 7/5 in the Lexington vs Owendale last year.

Kept waiting for the late drop in odds.. Bet over $500,000 in the race . Wonder if that was a record.

Too bad had only a few flakes of powder left in the account after that Bush horse ran all over our multis in the last race at the Spa on Monday.
