Default Casino Drive is a Go. Horse is fine.

Trainer just said he is a go tomorrow. Doubt he wins but atleast this won't be one horse running to the lead and nobody challenging him. CD might not beat him but it could setup something for Denis of Cork to make things a little closer at the wire for Big Brown.

Sort of rooting for Big Brown if it means he will race Curlin in Boston.

I have money on him in the Brooklyn/Belmont Double. I was hoping nobody would bet him in the double. I am trying to find the will pays because I bet he is like 20-1 in the doubles. I still can't find the will pays.

I still will be in for the BB-CD exacta box. I had a tough day today but rebounded in the last race. Plenty of money for the exacta box and for Seeking No More in the 3rd and my play of the day Man of Danger in the 6th.

The ALL button in that race was a waste.

Not really. I was hoping nobody would bet him in doubles because everyone thought he would scratch. I still haven't see the double price but I bet it is longer than he will go off in the race.

Or ANY race. If you're using it to catch a longshot in a chaos race, then just play the longshots.

I was hoping to catch an Evening Attire or Angliana double with Casino Drive. The Brooklyn was a good race to use it in because it was a small field with a couple live longshots. It also made sense because I thought there would be very little money bet into doubles with a horse that might scratch. Looks like a $64 double works out to exactly what he will pay at the window. Around 8-1 or maybe 10-1.

No. Wastes are only if they lose. Right now the return on investment is around 9-1 if he wins and it allows me to just play a straight BB-CD exacta without having to box it. If CD runs first or second and BB wins, I am looking at a nice profit.

You don't get it and won't. Not a surprise, but I'm not in the mood to explain it to you.

If CD runs first and BB wins, this is going to be the most famous Belmont in history.

You couldn't explain it because you have no idea what you are talking about.

If CD wins I win the double, doesn't matter where BB runs. If BB wins and CD runs second I win the exacta. So I need CD to run first or second and BB to run first if CD runs second. This isn't rocket science.

Yes, I got it. I was joking about the possibility of a dead heat.
