What? Real Estate got to the races and I missed it? I had this one marked out last weekend for the Pick 6 contest and it scratches. Forgot to put it on my stable watch so I miss another chance. How did this one pay $15?

I really only like Prado on longshots. That is how I collected on those Sarava and Birdstone Belmonts.

i think experts recommend that you take a temper-tantrum throwing child by the hand and lead them to a room, shut the door and leave them alone. that way they don't have an audience. of course i'm sure that kasept has more important things to do than make a 'solitary confinement' spot on here!! lol

I've been lobbying for a 'hysterical rants' section for a while but a 'time out' section would be great too...but only if the list of those taking a time out is visible to the rest of us...that would be endlessly entertaining.

Seattle,
I'm not even going to comment on the stupidity of playing 1-5 shots to WIN.
But I was on my way down to Belmont and was on the phone with Randall Scott on Saturday. I explicity told him that I thought he might be a seconditis type horse and was going to make two bets on the race. A larger one with Jagerman on top of Most Distinguished. And a saver bet with the winner on top of Most Distinguished.
I wish I had liked the winner more than Jagerman, who broke slowly and rushed up a dead rail to make the lead, but i didn't.
After the race was over noone I was near was asking your question of how could he lose. Just about everyone was unanimous that we may have another "My Friend Bernie" on our hands. You could see the horse ease himself up after making the lead and wait on horses. Blaming Zito or Edgar is quite foolish. Nick obviously had the horse ready for a nice effort, and Edgar gave a perfect ride. The thing you will apparently never understand is that they are animals with personalities. They are not machines. This horse is obviously a "hanger" or "cheater" type who wants to run in company with other horses.
Now that Nick and Edgar realize this without a shadow of a doubt, I imagine different tactics or equipment will be used in the future.
Betting 1-5 shots to win is insane. You could have bet place or show and gotten near the same payoff, which is still insane, but slightly less so than betting a 1-5 shot to win.
If you have an idea or ideas in other parts of a "pik" bet, then singling one can be justified. But did you actually blow a paycheck on a win bet?

why doesnt these short priced bastards win when i bet them or single them, like that god damn biancone/leparoux horse at saratoga. Deep closer on grass, then they let the leader get away with some god damn crawling fractions on the front, cost me pk6

Seattle the better question might be as to how long you are going to keep up the insanity.
The definition of insanity is to repeat the same action over and over again expecting a different result. Since I've known you, you have repeatedly stuck to the "strategy" of making large bets keying odds on horses.
Heres a newsflash, if the game was that simple then noone would work. They would just bet big favorites every day and live a life of leisure.
Repeat after me, bet a little to try and win a lot. Not bet a lot to try and win a little.
