True, RNS was just silly. He and his owner Dr. Livingston or whatever his name was got alot of PR before the race. In this case I think this was more an extreme case, I understand the alot of non regular fans bet the derby, but to bet him down to 50-1, that is alot of money. Who bet him? Certainly no one on this board did, if so I didn't see anyone even remotely tout him.
