Don't expect those $200 show bets to be that good very often going forward, of course.

Go buy yourself a nice filet and bottle of wine and and enjoy.

I'm pulling for you in the inquiry.

If they place Global Hunter 2nd, it'll get you quite a bit more $$.

I don't see how that happens. They split the show pool into 3 equal parts, then divide the thirds by the number of show tickets on each horse (after takeout, of course). Same 3 horses in the money, same show prices, no matter how they scramble them.

This wasnt a 2-5 shot. He was 30-1. I would have been stupid to go WPS cause it was a tough field to win. I bet him cold for Show cause I knew he will run HIS best race yet. I will take my $600 profit and buy me a watch.

Nice call on both the horse and the bet!

Yep, Pedigree Ann, you're exactly right. I was too busy typing instead of thinking!

I actually was meandering to "place" bet thoughts, of course.

She looks like a filly that needs to stretchout to a route. She picked the bit back up the last 100 yards or so. She's always had a grinding-type stride.

He was really washy, and he grabbed a quarter during the race.

Really bad trip, and I think Gomez just protected him when he realized the futility of his position.

Too bad too, I thought for a horse that never broke out of a gallop, he ran pretty big.

I completely disagree, if being behind horses is a bad trip. Then we would have bad trips galore in every race.

Okay if its true he grabbed a quarter that might have affected his performance abit.

However, I think any time a horse trained by a trainer like Bob Baffert is laid up for 9 months and reappears on poly instead of Saratoga where he ran the lights out last year, there should be a sniff of skeptism in the air.

Did you watch the race? He literally had nowhere to go for most of the race and the jock didn't even try on him.
