These exotics were smashed by a couple of big bettors who, apparently, had a story on the winner. No chicanery, no betting after the start, just a couple of big players who had some info that, this time, was correct.

As was said before, these were first time starters.

Very good, thanks for the update. It doesn't take much extra action to knock down the price quite a bit on a $393 exacta in a $200,000.

I always figured that was the case. But i still don't like the way they left the rail open the whole way for Chantal.

There's a reasonable chance that the guys who scored out with the winner didn't either. Despite what someone intimated in this thread, the connections of the second finisher did NOT particularly like her chances in that race, and were pleasantly surprised by her performance.

My rule of crossing out the Blue Grass performance of every runner in the Derby paid me off this year on BG Cat. He was my last inclusion in the exacta/tri i had constructed...
